- Demis underestimated language models
- AlphaFold story
- AI race on LLM models
- Google Brain and Deepmind merged
- Google models are always behind
- Deepmind’s been really big at RL and still got beaten by GPT o1 model
- Google’s CoT paper and other attempts
- Demis won a Nobel prize in chemistry
Now Hassabis stepped down to be the president of Deepmind and Silver founded Ineffable Intelligence.
