- In a newly released interview with Dwarkesh Patel, Sutskever says the industry is moving from pure scaling back to research-led progress.
- He contends that even a 100x increase in compute would not by itself produce the transformative results many expect.
- He maintains that compute still matters as a differentiator but says new methods are needed to use existing resources productively.
- He identifies model generalization—learning from few examples like humans—as a fundamental research problem holding current systems back.
- Business Insider reports he recently sat for a deposition tied to Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman, and Benzinga notes he founded SSI in 2024 with about $1 billion raised and reported acquisition interest from Meta.
