Here is my talk at @MIT (after some delay😅) I made this talk last year when I was thinking about a paradigm shift. This delayed posting is timely as we just released o1, which I believe is a new paradigm. It's a good time to zoom out for high level thinking. (1/11)

Today, @ekindogus and I are excited to introduce @periodiclabs. Our goal is to create an AI scientist. Science works by conjecturing how the world might be, running experiments, and learning from the results. Intelligence is necessary, but not sufficient. New knowledge is

After a great time at OpenAI, we (@EdwardSun0909, @_jasonwei) recently joined @Meta Superintelligence Labs. The first month has already been so much fun building from a clean slate with a truly talent-dense team! Very excited about the compute and long term focus of the new lab

This is my lecture from 2 months ago at @Cornell “How do I increase my output?” One natural answer is "I will just work a few more hours." Working longer can help, but eventually you hit a physical limit. A better question is, “How do I increase my output without increasing

Highly recommend this Stanford lecture video with @_jasonwei and @hwchung27 :) It's one of my favorites on scaling laws and the bitter lesson! Also Hyung's "Don't teach. Incentivize" video: https://t.co/KL0dDnYovz https://t.co/AXKkUcqTxq

When we make rapid progress, we tend to double down on the working paradigm. Bitter lessons suggest that this can be risky for deep learning. When trying to make a new paradigm to work at all, it is often necessary to add structures, e.g. clever modeling ideas. These structures

I really like this diagram from @_jasonwei and @hwchung27 about how to view the bitter lesson: It's a mistake not to add structure now, it's a mistake to not remove that structure later. We're at the precipice of setting up a huge, powerful RL training run that will define the

I often hear people say they believe the world will be vastly different in 5 years. Yet, many of them plan life and career as if things won’t change much. Why such discrepancy? Humans have bias towards downplaying major future changes, especially the fast changing ones. Perhaps

What we're seeing in AI will also happen in other technical fields. While AI’s expected impact is undeniably large, that's not unique; there are other hugely valuable areas, e.g. robotics, longevity. What truly differentiates AI is its rate of progress, specifically how it's

We have long been accustomed to planning life around a 30-year career. As our healthspan increases, that assumption is increasingly wrong. What would you do differently if your career were, say, 100 years instead of 30? Which options have you subconsciously given up because you

Woman has lingering sore throat. Doctor tells her to wait it out, ChatGPT suggests an ultrasound, which reveals
aggressive thyroid cancer. I tell all my friends and family - please get a second opinion on medical stuff from AI. It might save your life!

Differences in model quality are magnified with task difficulty. So if you work on harder problems, you benefit more from AI progress. Good forcing function to work on more challenging problems!
