.Jerry Tworek helped drive o1, o3, and Codex at OpenAI where he was VP of Research from 2019 to 2025. Then he left to pursue “types of research that are hard to do at OpenAI.” This week on Unsupervised Learning, I sat down with Jerry to discuss where AI research is headed and what he learned from seven years at the forefront of the field. - Why he left OpenAI after helping create some of its biggest breakthroughs - Why Jerry updated his AGI timeline after building reasoning models - The real limits of scaling reinforcement learning - Why Anthropic has done so well in coding - Inside OpenAI's pivotal decisions - What makes great AI researchers Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:26 Scaling Paradigms in AI 3:36 Challenges in Reinforcement Learning 11:48 AGI Timelines 18:36 Converging Labs and Economic Forces 25:05 Jerry's Departure from OpenAI 31:18 Pivotal Decisions in OpenAI's Journey 35:06 Balancing Research and Product Development 38:42 The Future of AI Coding 41:33 Specialization vs. Generalization in AI 48:47 Hiring and Building Research Teams 55:21 Quickfire Listen here: YouTube: Spotify: Apple:

At OpenAI, Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki 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.

My conversation with OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman This is the most detailed first-person account of the 72 hours after Sam Altman was fired. We also go deep on what comes next: the global race to AGI, why ChatGPT stopped showing reasoning, how much of OpenAI's own code is now written by AI ("it's hard to know what percent is not"), and the untold story of how OpenAI actually started in 2015. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:49 Meeting Sam Altman and Starting OpenAI 00:02:40 Building the Founding Team 00:04:25 DeepMind's Lead Over OpenAI 00:04:54 Changing OpenAI to a For-Profit Model 00:06:05 Breakthrough Moments at OpenAI 00:08:22 What Dota 2 Meant for OpenAI 00:10:04 Reasoning Versus Prediction 00:11:59 Tensions Grow at OpenAI 00:15:44 Sam Altman's Firing 00:17:49 Greg Quits OpenAI 00:19:56 Sam Explores Deal with Microsoft's Satya 00:20:28 Petition for Altman's Return 00:23:43 Ilya Sutskever Leaves OpenAI 00:24:59 Lessons Learned after Sam Ousting 00:28:22 The Thing Ilya Said that Greg Can't Forget 00:32:22 Is AI Going Parabolic? 00:33:24 How Much of OpenAI's Code is Written by AI? 00:36:21 Do AI Chatbots Tell Us What We Want to Hear? 00:38:06 The Global AI Race to Reach AGI 00:38:40 What Happens if US Doesn't Reach AGI First? 00:39:49 Are Countries Stealing AI Advancements? 00:40:38 Why ChatGPT No Longer Shows Reasoning 00:41:47 The Finite Constraints of Compute 00:43:38 On Investing Early in Data Centers 00:46:31 The Future of Data Center Specialization 00:47:52 How to Decide Whose Queries to Serve 00:49:08 OpenAI on Consumer vs Enterprise Models 00:53:05 Data Centers in Space? 01:00:56 What Should AI Regulation Look Like? 01:04:33 The Future of AI-Powered Entrepreneurship 01:04:44 AI and Job Loss 01:07:15 The Skills Young People Should Invest In 01:11:30 What Does Success Look Like For You?

Here's my 5-hour conversation with Dylan Patel and Nathan Lambert on DeepSeek, China, OpenAI, NVIDIA, xAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, TSMC, Stargate, megacluster buildouts, RL, reasoning, and a lot of other topics at the cutting edge of AI. This is was a mind-blowing, super-technical, and fun conversation. Yes, we discuss r1 and o3-mini, but more importantly we look into the future of technology, geopolitics, and humanity in a world that stands on the precipice of a global AI revolution. The first 4 hours are here on X (4 hours is current limit), and the full 5 hours are up everywhere else. Links in comment.
