Founder & CEO, Turing | Training SuperIntelligence.
Stanford, CA
Joined November 2008
The era of data-labeling & recruiting firms is over. The Labs now need a research accelerator to get to Superintelligence. This is why Turing works with 8 of the 9 companies building frontier foundation models. We are hiring faster than ever before @turingcom. We need experts

So true. There are startups and there are big cos. That’s it.
There is no such thing as a ‘startup inside a big co’ You can pretend all you want. But if you’re not on the hook for payroll come rain or shine, you’re just role playing

2. Are the Wheels Coming off the Scale Acquisition? There are 3 questionable points: - Talent fallout: People have egos, and people are leaving Meta’s new team. - Asset fit: Meta still buys the best data available & not exclusively from Scale. While Scale’s neutrality has

Great to see people ❤️ GPT-5 Pro at coding
I think congrats again to OpenAI for cooking with GPT-5 Pro. This is the third time I've struggled on something complex/gnarly for an hour on and off with CC, then 5 Pro goes off for 10 minutes and comes back with code that works out of the box. I had CC read the 5 Pro version

gpt-5 is incredible at coding, and really shines with the right prompting style:
OpenAI just published their official prompting guide for GPT-5. Master these 6 critical prompting techniques:

the jump from gpt4 -> gpt5 was obviously larger than the jump from gpt3 -> gpt4

Frontier AI labs typically take over 50 sec to generate a short video.. But at our AI dinner, we learned there’s a new chip that does it in just 8 SECONDS (that’s an 84% improvement!) Any guesses??

GPT-5 isn’t just about code generation anymore. SWE Bench pushes it to reason like an O5 engineer, with bug fixes, feature adds, and real-world complexity. In our latest Turing Podcast, Engineering Director Lilin Wang breaks down what this benchmark means for applied AI. Tune

The progress towards Superintelligence will be steady/continuous and not rapid takeoff. I agree with @DavidSacks This is a good thing since job displacement is a serious problem and the time to upskill will be helpful. For enterprise/startups, lots of problems to solve in the
A BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR AI? The Doomer narratives were wrong. Predicated on a “rapid take-off” to AGI, they predicted that the leading AI model would use its intelligence to self-improve, leaving others in the dust, and quickly achieving a godlike superintelligence. Instead, we

At @Ai4Conferences Vegas, we’re showing what it takes to move AI from lab to line and from pilot to production. Whether it’s reducing churn and boosting promo efficiency in retail or enabling scalable insights in high-volume manufacturing, Turing builds agentic systems that
