Compute powers every layer of AI, and the investments we’ve made mean we can run more promising research experiments, train more capable models, and support broader access. @merettm talks about our progress building an automated AI researcher and what’s ahead as AI can take on harder and harder problems. Jacob Effron (@jacobeffron) At @OpenAI, Chief Scientist @merettm helps lead the research roadmap to AGI including a research intern-level AI system by September 2026 and a fully automated AI researcher by March 2028. I sat down with Jakub to check on those timelines and ask him all of my top-of-mind AI questions including: ▪️ How OpenAI thinks about extending RL beyond code and math ▪️ The current state of alignment research as more powerful models loom ▪️ The future of continual learning ▪️ How startups should think about building their own models/harnesses And he also shared some great stories around OpenAI’s pioneering work on math.
