In 2023, I paused my PhD to join @OpenAI to build the world’s first reasoning machine — OpenAI o1. Earlier this year, I defended my PhD thesis “Building a Reasoning Machine” advised by @Yoshua_Bengio at @Mila_Quebec 🎓 🎉 Much has changed since Yoshua and I first discussed reasoning in 2022, but the main themes aged well: – Adding structures to computation unlocks strong reasoning capabilities; – Data & sample efficiency will become the bottleneck to useful intelligence; – Retaining Bayesian uncertainty is key to reliable and safe AI systems. You can read the introduction of my thesis here: edwardjhu.com/thesis/ My next professional chapter (TBA) will be on bridging frontier intelligence with real economic impact, a theme dear to my heart after working closely with @drwconvexity and @suna_said in the last year 🚀
