  • 00:00:13
    hello everyone welcome to open AI Dev
  • 00:00:15
    day I am Harry stebbings of 20 VC and I
  • 00:00:19
    am very very excited to interview Sam
  • 00:00:22
    ultman welcome Sam Sam thank you for
  • 00:00:26
    letting me do this today with you thanks
  • 00:00:28
    for doing now we have many many
  • 00:00:31
    questions from the audience and so I
  • 00:00:33
    wanted to start with one which I don't
  • 00:00:35
    think people ask you actually very often
  • 00:00:36
    in interviews which is firstly like how
  • 00:00:38
    are you you are one of the busiest
  • 00:00:40
    people on the planet you also always
  • 00:00:42
    look remarkably fresh how are
  • 00:00:46
    you fine I
  • 00:00:50
    think yeah yeah I think kind of get used
  • 00:00:52
    to anything and it has been like a sort
  • 00:00:54
    of crazy busy last couple of years but
  • 00:00:56
    now it just feels like normal life and I
  • 00:00:58
    forget that it used to be otherwise okay
  • 00:01:00
    listen I want to start by kind of diving
  • 00:01:02
    in we had a lot of fantastic questions
  • 00:01:04
    from the audience across a number of
  • 00:01:06
    different kind of areas and I want to
  • 00:01:08
    start with actually the question of when
  • 00:01:10
    we look forward is the future of open AI
  • 00:01:13
    more models like 01 or is it more larger
  • 00:01:18
    models that we would maybe have expected
  • 00:01:20
    of old how do we think about
  • 00:01:23
    that I mean we want to make things
  • 00:01:26
    better across the board but this
  • 00:01:27
    direction of reasoning models is a
  • 00:01:30
    particular importance to us I think
  • 00:01:32
    reasoning will unlock I hope reasoning
  • 00:01:34
    will unlock a lot of the things that
  • 00:01:35
    we've been waiting years to do and the
  • 00:01:39
    the ability for models like this to for
  • 00:01:41
    example contribute to new science uh
  • 00:01:43
    help write a lot more very difficult
  • 00:01:46
    code uh that I think can drive things
  • 00:01:48
    forward to a significant degree so you
  • 00:01:50
    should expect rapid Improvement in the O
  • 00:01:53
    Series of models and it's of great
  • 00:01:55
    strategic importance to us so another
  • 00:01:59
    one that I thought was really important
  • 00:02:00
    for us to touch on was when we look
  • 00:02:02
    forward to open ai's future plans how do
  • 00:02:05
    you think about developing no code tools
  • 00:02:07
    for non-technical Founders to build and
  • 00:02:10
    scale AI apps how do you think about
  • 00:02:12
    that it'll get there for sure uh I I
  • 00:02:15
    think the the first step will be tools
  • 00:02:18
    that make people who know how to code
  • 00:02:20
    well more productive but eventually I
  • 00:02:22
    think we can offer really high quality
  • 00:02:24
    no code tools and already there's some
  • 00:02:26
    out there that Mak sense but you can't
  • 00:02:29
    you can't sort of in a no code way say I
  • 00:02:30
    have like a full startup I want to build
  • 00:02:33
    um that's going to take a while so when
  • 00:02:36
    we look at where we are in the stat
  • 00:02:38
    today open AI sits in a certain place
  • 00:02:41
    how far up the stack is open AI going to
  • 00:02:43
    go I think it's a brilliant question but
  • 00:02:45
    if you're spending a lot of time tuning
  • 00:02:47
    your rag system is this a waste of time
  • 00:02:49
    because open AI ultimately thinks
  • 00:02:51
    they'll own this part of the application
  • 00:02:53
    layer or is it not and how do you answer
  • 00:02:55
    a Founder who has that question
  • 00:03:00
    the the the general answer we try to
  • 00:03:02
    give is and you have to assume that
  • 00:03:04
    we're biased here and talking our book
  • 00:03:06
    and may be wrong but the general answer
  • 00:03:07
    we try to give
  • 00:03:10
    is we are going to try our hardest and
  • 00:03:13
    believe we will succeed at making our
  • 00:03:15
    models better and better and better and
  • 00:03:18
    if you are building a business that
  • 00:03:20
    patches some current small
  • 00:03:23
    shortcomings if we do our job right uh
  • 00:03:26
    then that will not be as important in
  • 00:03:29
    the future
  • 00:03:30
    if on the other hand you build a company
  • 00:03:33
    that benefits from the model getting
  • 00:03:35
    better and better if you know an oracle
  • 00:03:38
    told you today that
  • 00:03:40
    04 was going to be just absolutely
  • 00:03:42
    incredible and do all of these things
  • 00:03:45
    that right now feel impossible and you
  • 00:03:47
    were happy about that then you know
  • 00:03:50
    maybe we're wrong but at least that's
  • 00:03:52
    what we're going for and if instead you
  • 00:03:54
    say okay there's this area where there
  • 00:03:57
    are many but you pick one of the many
  • 00:03:59
    areas where oh preview underperforms and
  • 00:04:01
    say I'm going to patch this and just
  • 00:04:02
    barely get it to work then you're sort
  • 00:04:05
    of assuming that the next turn of the
  • 00:04:07
    model crank won't be as good as we think
  • 00:04:08
    it will be and that is the general
  • 00:04:12
    philosophical message we try to get out
  • 00:04:14
    to startups like we we believe that we
  • 00:04:17
    are on a pretty a quite steep trajectory
  • 00:04:20
    of improvement and that the current
  • 00:04:22
    shortcomings of the models today um will
  • 00:04:26
    just be taken care of by Future
  • 00:04:28
    generations and
  • 00:04:30
    you know I encourage people to be
  • 00:04:31
    aligned with that so we did an interview
  • 00:04:34
    before with Brad and sorry it's not
  • 00:04:37
    quite on schedule but I think the show
  • 00:04:38
    has always been successful when we kind
  • 00:04:40
    of go a little bit off schedule there
  • 00:04:42
    was this brilliant yeah sorry for that
  • 00:04:44
    uh but there was this brilliant kind of
  • 00:04:45
    meme that came out of it and I felt a
  • 00:04:47
    little bit guilty but you you said
  • 00:04:49
    wearing this 20 VC jump which is
  • 00:04:50
    incredibly proud moment for me uh for
  • 00:04:53
    certain segments like the one you
  • 00:04:54
    mentioned there there would be the
  • 00:04:56
    potential to steamroll if you're
  • 00:04:58
    thinking as a founder stay building
  • 00:05:00
    where is open AI going to potentially
  • 00:05:03
    come and steamroll versus where they're
  • 00:05:04
    not also for me as an investor trying to
  • 00:05:07
    invest in opportunities that aren't
  • 00:05:08
    going to get damaged how should Founders
  • 00:05:12
    and me as an investor think about
  • 00:05:14
    that there will be many trillions of
  • 00:05:16
    dollars of market cap that gets created
  • 00:05:19
    new market cap that gets created by
  • 00:05:22
    using AI to build products and services
  • 00:05:24
    that were either impossible or quite
  • 00:05:26
    impractical before and the
  • 00:05:31
    there's this one set of areas where
  • 00:05:33
    we're going to try
  • 00:05:35
    to make it relevant which is you know we
  • 00:05:38
    just want the models to be really really
  • 00:05:40
    good such that you don't have to like
  • 00:05:42
    fight so hard to get them to do what you
  • 00:05:44
    want to do but all of this other stuff
  • 00:05:47
    uh which is building these incredible
  • 00:05:49
    products and services on top of this new
  • 00:05:52
    technology we think that just gets
  • 00:05:54
    better and better um one of the
  • 00:05:57
    surprises to me early on was and this is
  • 00:06:00
    no longer the case but in like the GPT
  • 00:06:03
    3.5 days it felt like 95% of startups
  • 00:06:06
    something like that wanted to bet
  • 00:06:09
    against the models getting way better
  • 00:06:11
    and so and they were doing these things
  • 00:06:13
    where we could already see gp4 coming
  • 00:06:15
    and we're like man it's going to be so
  • 00:06:17
    good it's not going to have these
  • 00:06:18
    problems if you're building a tool just
  • 00:06:21
    to get around this one shortcoming of
  • 00:06:23
    the model that's going to become less
  • 00:06:25
    and less relevant and we forget how bad
  • 00:06:29
    the model were a couple of years ago it
  • 00:06:31
    hasn't been that long on the calendar
  • 00:06:33
    but there were there were just a lot of
  • 00:06:35
    things and so it seemed like these good
  • 00:06:36
    areas to build a thing uh to like to
  • 00:06:41
    plug a hole rather than to build
  • 00:06:43
    something to go deliver like the great
  • 00:06:46
    AI tutor or the great AI medical adviser
  • 00:06:48
    or whatever
  • 00:06:50
    and and so I felt like 95% of people
  • 00:06:53
    that were were like betting against the
  • 00:06:55
    models getting better 5% of the people
  • 00:06:57
    were betting for the models getting
  • 00:06:58
    better I I think that's now reversed I
  • 00:07:01
    think people have
  • 00:07:02
    like internalized the rate of
  • 00:07:04
    improvement and have heard us on what we
  • 00:07:08
    intend to do
  • 00:07:11
    um so it's it no longer seems to be such
  • 00:07:14
    an issue but it was something we used to
  • 00:07:16
    fret about a lot because we kind of we
  • 00:07:18
    saw it was going to happen to all of
  • 00:07:20
    these very hardworking people you you
  • 00:07:21
    said about the trillions of dollars of
  • 00:07:23
    value to be created there and then I
  • 00:07:24
    promise we will return to these
  • 00:07:25
    brilliant questions I'm sure you saw I'm
  • 00:07:28
    not sure if you saw but Massa sit on
  • 00:07:30
    stage and say we will have I'm not going
  • 00:07:31
    to do an accent cuz my accents are
  • 00:07:33
    terrible um but there will be9 trillion
  • 00:07:36
    dollar of value created every single
  • 00:07:39
    year which will offset the9 trillion
  • 00:07:42
    capex that he thought would be needed
  • 00:07:45
    I'm just intrigued how did you think
  • 00:07:47
    about that when you saw that how do you
  • 00:07:49
    reflect on
  • 00:07:51
    that uh I can't put it down to like any
  • 00:07:57
    I think like if we can get it right with
  • 00:07:58
    an orders of to that's that's good
  • 00:08:00
    enough for now there's clearly going to
  • 00:08:01
    be a lot of capex spent and clearly a
  • 00:08:03
    lot of value created this happens with
  • 00:08:05
    every other Mega technological
  • 00:08:07
    revolution of which this is clearly one
  • 00:08:10
    um
  • 00:08:12
    but uh you know like next year will be a
  • 00:08:15
    big push for us
  • 00:08:17
    into these next Generation systems you
  • 00:08:20
    talked about when there could be like a
  • 00:08:22
    no code software agent I don't know how
  • 00:08:24
    long that's going to take but if we use
  • 00:08:26
    that as an example and imagine forward
  • 00:08:28
    to towards it think about what think
  • 00:08:31
    about how much economic value gets
  • 00:08:33
    unlocked for the world if anybody can
  • 00:08:35
    just describe like a whole company's
  • 00:08:38
    worth of software that they want this is
  • 00:08:39
    a ways away obviously but when we get
  • 00:08:41
    there and have it happen um think about
  • 00:08:45
    how difficult and how expensive that is
  • 00:08:46
    now think about how much value it
  • 00:08:47
    creates if you keep the same amount of
  • 00:08:49
    value but make it wildly more accessible
  • 00:08:51
    and less expensive that that's really
  • 00:08:53
    powerful and I think we'll see many
  • 00:08:55
    other examples like that we I mentioned
  • 00:08:58
    earlier like healthcare and education
  • 00:09:00
    but those are two that are both like
  • 00:09:03
    trillions of dollars of value to the
  • 00:09:04
    world to get right if you and if AI can
  • 00:09:07
    really really truly enable this to
  • 00:09:09
    happen in a different way than it has
  • 00:09:11
    before
  • 00:09:13
    I I don't think big numbers are the
  • 00:09:15
    point and they also the debate about
  • 00:09:17
    whether it's n trillion or 1 trillion or
  • 00:09:19
    whatever like you know I don't smarter
  • 00:09:23
    people than me it takes to figure that
  • 00:09:24
    out
  • 00:09:26
    but but the value creation does seem
  • 00:09:28
    just unbelievable here we're going to
  • 00:09:32
    get to agents in terms of kind of how
  • 00:09:33
    that value is delivered in terms of like
  • 00:09:35
    the delivery mechan mechanism for which
  • 00:09:37
    it's valued open source is an incredibly
  • 00:09:39
    prominent method through which it could
  • 00:09:41
    be how do you think about the role of
  • 00:09:42
    Open Source in the future of AI and how
  • 00:09:45
    does internal discussions look like for
  • 00:09:48
    you when the question comes should we
  • 00:09:50
    open- Source any models or some models
  • 00:09:54
    there there's clearly a really important
  • 00:09:55
    place in the ecosystem for open source
  • 00:09:57
    models there's also really good open
  • 00:09:59
    source models that now exist
  • 00:10:02
    um I think there's also a place for like
  • 00:10:06
    nicely offered well integrated services
  • 00:10:08
    and apis and you know I think it's I
  • 00:10:12
    think it makes sense that all of the
  • 00:10:14
    stuff is an offer and people will pick
  • 00:10:15
    what what works for
  • 00:10:17
    them as a delivery mechanism we have the
  • 00:10:20
    open source as of kind of androp to
  • 00:10:22
    customers and a way to deliver that we
  • 00:10:24
    can have agents I think there's a lot of
  • 00:10:27
    uh kind of semantic confusion around
  • 00:10:29
    what an agent is how do you think about
  • 00:10:31
    the definition of Agents today and what
  • 00:10:32
    is an agent to you and what is it
  • 00:10:35
    not
  • 00:10:38
    um this is like my offthe cuff answer
  • 00:10:41
    it's not well considered but something
  • 00:10:43
    that I can give a long duration task to
  • 00:10:47
    and provide minimal
  • 00:10:49
    supervision during execution for what do
  • 00:10:52
    you think people think about agents that
  • 00:10:55
    actually they get
  • 00:10:58
    wrong well it's more like I don't I
  • 00:11:01
    don't think any of us yet have an
  • 00:11:02
    intuition for what this is going to be
  • 00:11:05
    like you know we're all gesturing at
  • 00:11:06
    something that seems
  • 00:11:10
    important maybe I can give the following
  • 00:11:13
    example when people talk about an AI
  • 00:11:17
    agent acting on their behalf uh the the
  • 00:11:20
    main example they seem to give fairly
  • 00:11:23
    consistently is oh you can
  • 00:11:26
    like you know you can like ask the agent
  • 00:11:29
    to go book you a restaurant
  • 00:11:32
    reservation um and either it can like
  • 00:11:34
    use open table or it can like call the
  • 00:11:36
    restaurant or or whatever and you know
  • 00:11:40
    it's like okay sure that's that's like a
  • 00:11:42
    mildly annoying thing to have to do and
  • 00:11:45
    it maybe like saves you some
  • 00:11:47
    work one of the things that I think is
  • 00:11:50
    interesting is a world where
  • 00:11:53
    uh you can just do things that you
  • 00:11:55
    wouldn't or couldn't do as a human so
  • 00:11:57
    what if what if instead of of calling uh
  • 00:12:01
    one restaurant to make a reservation my
  • 00:12:03
    agent would call me like 300 and figure
  • 00:12:05
    out which one had the best food for me
  • 00:12:06
    or some special thing available or
  • 00:12:08
    whatever and then you would say well
  • 00:12:09
    that's like really annoying if your
  • 00:12:10
    agent is calling 300 restaurants but if
  • 00:12:13
    if it's an agent answering each of those
  • 00:12:15
    300 300 places then no problem and it
  • 00:12:17
    can be this like massively parallel
  • 00:12:19
    thing that a human can't do so that's
  • 00:12:21
    like a trivial example
  • 00:12:24
    but there are these like limitations to
  • 00:12:27
    human bandwidth that maybe these agents
  • 00:12:29
    won't
  • 00:12:30
    have the category I think though is more
  • 00:12:33
    interesting is not the one that people
  • 00:12:36
    normally talk about where you have this
  • 00:12:37
    thing calling restaurants for you
  • 00:12:41
    um but something that's more like a
  • 00:12:45
    really smart senior
  • 00:12:48
    coworker um where you can like
  • 00:12:50
    collaborate on a project with and the
  • 00:12:52
    agent can go do like a two-day task or
  • 00:12:55
    two week task really well and you know
  • 00:12:58
    paying you at when it has questions but
  • 00:13:00
    come back to you with like a great work
  • 00:13:03
    product does this fundamentally change
  • 00:13:05
    the way that SAS is priced when you
  • 00:13:07
    think about extraction of value bluntly
  • 00:13:11
    and normally it's on a per seat basis
  • 00:13:12
    but now you're actually kind of
  • 00:13:14
    replacing labor so to speak how do you
  • 00:13:16
    think about the future of pricing with
  • 00:13:19
    that in mind when you are such a core
  • 00:13:20
    part of an Enterprise
  • 00:13:22
    Workforce like how will price or what it
  • 00:13:24
    will do for people who are no like how
  • 00:13:27
    will it price oh
  • 00:13:33
    um like we always have per seat
  • 00:13:40
    pricing we look I can make I can like
  • 00:13:42
    I'll speculate here for fun but we
  • 00:13:44
    really have no idea this I mean Sam I'm
  • 00:13:46
    a venture investor for a living so we
  • 00:13:48
    speculate for fun all the time it's
  • 00:13:50
    okay um I mean I could imagine a world
  • 00:13:54
    where you can say like I want one GPU or
  • 00:13:56
    10 gpus or 100 gpus to just be like
  • 00:13:59
    turning on my problems all the
  • 00:14:01
    time and it's not like you're not like
  • 00:14:06
    paying per seat or even per agent but
  • 00:14:09
    you're like it's priced based off the
  • 00:14:11
    amount of compute that's like working on
  • 00:14:13
    a you know on your problems all the time
  • 00:14:16
    do we need to build specific models for
  • 00:14:18
    agentic use or do we not how do you
  • 00:14:22
    think about
  • 00:14:23
    that
  • 00:14:25
    um there's a huge amount of
  • 00:14:27
    infrastructure and Scaffolding to build
  • 00:14:28
    for
  • 00:14:30
    but I think 01 points the way to a model
  • 00:14:32
    that is capable of doing great agentic
  • 00:14:36
    tasks I hate the word agentic by the way
  • 00:14:38
    i' I'd love it if we could come up with
  • 00:14:40
    a what would you like this is your
  • 00:14:42
    chance to coin a new word I don't have
  • 00:14:45
    this could be a spoiler of that that
  • 00:14:46
    that really is something I I'll keep
  • 00:14:48
    thinking while we
  • 00:14:50
    talk on the model side Sam everyone says
  • 00:14:54
    that uh models are depreciating assets
  • 00:14:56
    the commoditization of models is so
  • 00:14:59
    R how do you respond and think about
  • 00:15:02
    that and when you think about the
  • 00:15:04
    increasing Capital intensity to train
  • 00:15:06
    models are we actually seeing the
  • 00:15:07
    reversion of that where it requires so
  • 00:15:10
    much money that actually very few people
  • 00:15:11
    can do
  • 00:15:12
    it uh it's definitely true that they're
  • 00:15:15
    depreciating assets um this thing that
  • 00:15:18
    they're not though worth as much as they
  • 00:15:21
    cost to train that seems totally wrong
  • 00:15:24
    um to say nothing of the fact that
  • 00:15:26
    there's like a there's a positive
  • 00:15:29
    compounding effect as you learn to train
  • 00:15:30
    these models you get better at training
  • 00:15:32
    the next one but the actual like Revenue
  • 00:15:34
    we can make from a model I think
  • 00:15:36
    justifies the investment um I to be fair
  • 00:15:41
    uh I don't think that's true for
  • 00:15:43
    everyone and there's a lot of there are
  • 00:15:46
    probably too many people training very
  • 00:15:48
    similar models and if you're a little
  • 00:15:50
    behind or if you don't have
  • 00:15:54
    a product with the sort of normal rules
  • 00:15:57
    of business that make that product
  • 00:15:59
    sticky and valuable then yeah maybe you
  • 00:16:03
    can't maybe it's harder to get a return
  • 00:16:06
    on the investment we're very fortunate
  • 00:16:08
    to have chat GPT and hundreds of
  • 00:16:10
    millions of people that use our models
  • 00:16:11
    and so even if it costs a lot we get to
  • 00:16:13
    like amortise that cost across a lot of
  • 00:16:15
    people how do you think about how open
  • 00:16:17
    AI models continue to differentiate over
  • 00:16:20
    time and where you most want to focus to
  • 00:16:22
    expand that
  • 00:16:25
    differentiation uh reasoning is our
  • 00:16:29
    current most important area of focus I
  • 00:16:31
    think this is what unlocks the next like
  • 00:16:34
    massive Leap Forward in in value created
  • 00:16:37
    so that's we'll improve them in lots of
  • 00:16:40
    ways uh we will
  • 00:16:42
    do multimodal work uh we will do other
  • 00:16:46
    features in the models that we think are
  • 00:16:47
    super important
  • 00:16:50
    to the ways that people want to use
  • 00:16:52
    these things how do you think how do you
  • 00:16:54
    think about reasoning in multimodal work
  • 00:16:56
    like there the challenge is what you
  • 00:16:58
    want to achieve love to understand that
  • 00:17:01
    reasoning in multimodality specific
  • 00:17:04
    yeah I hope it's just going to work I
  • 00:17:06
    mean it obviously takes some doing to
  • 00:17:08
    get done but uh you know
  • 00:17:11
    like people like when they're babies and
  • 00:17:14
    toddlers before they're good at language
  • 00:17:16
    can still do quite complex visual
  • 00:17:18
    reasoning so clearly this is
  • 00:17:20
    possible totally is um how will Vision
  • 00:17:23
    capabilities scale with new inference
  • 00:17:26
    time Paradigm set by 01
  • 00:17:36
    uh without spoiling anything I would
  • 00:17:38
    expect rapid progress in
  • 00:17:41
    image based
  • 00:17:44
    models that's a spoiler isn't
  • 00:17:46
    it it's a bit of a carrot
  • 00:17:49
    Sam okay um going off schedule is one
  • 00:17:53
    thing trying to tease that out might get
  • 00:17:54
    me in real trouble um gpt's output is
  • 00:17:57
    generally I I like the this one a lot
  • 00:17:59
    yeah I I don't think that we are nearly
  • 00:18:01
    British enough in a lot of gpt's output
  • 00:18:03
    gpt's output is generally American in
  • 00:18:05
    spelling and spelling and tone how do we
  • 00:18:08
    think about
  • 00:18:10
    internationalization with models
  • 00:18:12
    different cultures different languages
  • 00:18:14
    and how important that
  • 00:18:16
    is it's interesting I you know I don't
  • 00:18:19
    use British English I haven't tried but
  • 00:18:20
    I would have guessed that it's really
  • 00:18:22
    good at doing British English is it
  • 00:18:26
    not okay well we'll look at that
  • 00:18:30
    we can get you your s's I'm sure there
  • 00:18:33
    we go um how does open AI make
  • 00:18:35
    breakthroughs in terms of like core
  • 00:18:38
    reasoning do we need to start pushing
  • 00:18:39
    into reinforcement learning as a pathway
  • 00:18:42
    or other new techniques aside from the
  • 00:18:47
    transforma uh I mean there's two
  • 00:18:49
    questions in there there's how we do it
  • 00:18:51
    and then you know there's everyone's
  • 00:18:53
    favorite question which is what comes
  • 00:18:54
    beyond the Transformer
  • 00:18:57
    the how we do it is our special sauce
  • 00:19:00
    it's easy it's really easy to copy
  • 00:19:02
    something you know Works uh and one of
  • 00:19:03
    the reasons that people don't talk about
  • 00:19:05
    about why it's so easy is you have the
  • 00:19:06
    conviction to know it's possible and so
  • 00:19:10
    after after a research lab does
  • 00:19:12
    something even if you don't know exactly
  • 00:19:14
    how they did it
  • 00:19:15
    it's say easy but it's doable to go off
  • 00:19:18
    and copy it and you can see this in the
  • 00:19:20
    replications of gp4 and I'm sure you'll
  • 00:19:23
    see this in replications of
  • 00:19:25
    01 what is really hard and the thing
  • 00:19:27
    that I'm most proud of about our culture
  • 00:19:30
    is the repeated ability to go off and do
  • 00:19:35
    something new and
  • 00:19:37
    totally unproven and a lot of
  • 00:19:41
    organizations I'm not talking about AI
  • 00:19:43
    research just generally a lot of
  • 00:19:45
    organizations talk about the ability to
  • 00:19:47
    do this there are very few that do um
  • 00:19:50
    across any field and in some sense I
  • 00:19:53
    think this is one of the most important
  • 00:19:55
    inputs to human progress so one of the
  • 00:19:58
    like retirement things I fantasize about
  • 00:20:01
    doing is writing a book of everything
  • 00:20:03
    I've learned about how to build an
  • 00:20:05
    organization and a culture that does
  • 00:20:07
    this thing not the organization that
  • 00:20:09
    just copies what everybody else has done
  • 00:20:11
    because I think this is something that
  • 00:20:13
    the world could have a lot more of it's
  • 00:20:15
    limited by human talent but there's a
  • 00:20:17
    huge amount of wasted human talent
  • 00:20:20
    because this is
  • 00:20:21
    not an organization style or culture
  • 00:20:25
    whatever you want to call it that we are
  • 00:20:27
    all good at building so I love way more
  • 00:20:30
    of that and that is I think the thing
  • 00:20:32
    most special about us Sam how is human
  • 00:20:34
    Talent
  • 00:20:35
    wasted oh there's just a lot of really
  • 00:20:38
    talented people in the world that are
  • 00:20:39
    not working to their full potential um
  • 00:20:42
    because they work at a bad company or
  • 00:20:44
    they live in a country that doesn't
  • 00:20:45
    support any good companies uh
  • 00:20:48
    or a long list of other things I mean
  • 00:20:51
    the
  • 00:20:52
    the one of the things I'm most excited
  • 00:20:54
    about with AI is I hope it'll get us
  • 00:20:57
    much better than we are now at helping
  • 00:20:59
    get everyone to their Max potential
  • 00:21:01
    which we are nowhere nowhere near
  • 00:21:04
    there's a lot of people in the world
  • 00:21:05
    that I'm sure would be phenomenal AI
  • 00:21:08
    researchers had their life paths just
  • 00:21:09
    gone a little bit
  • 00:21:11
    differently Sam you've had an incredible
  • 00:21:13
    journey again sorry for the off-script
  • 00:21:15
    you've had an incredible journey over
  • 00:21:17
    the last few years through you know
  • 00:21:20
    unbelievable hypergrowth you say about
  • 00:21:22
    writing a book there in retirement if
  • 00:21:24
    you reflect back on the 10 years of
  • 00:21:26
    leadership change that you've under gone
  • 00:21:29
    how have you changed your leadership
  • 00:21:31
    most
  • 00:21:34
    significantly
  • 00:21:38
    well I think the thing that has been
  • 00:21:41
    most unusual for me about these last
  • 00:21:43
    couple of
  • 00:21:44
    years
  • 00:21:46
    is just the rate at
  • 00:21:48
    which things have changed at a normal
  • 00:21:51
    company you get time to go from Z to 100
  • 00:21:55
    million in Revenue 100 million to a
  • 00:21:56
    billion billion to 10 billion you don't
  • 00:21:58
    have to do that in like a 2-year period
  • 00:22:01
    and you don't have to like build the
  • 00:22:03
    company we had to research that but we
  • 00:22:05
    really didn't have a company in the
  • 00:22:06
    sense of a traditional Silicon Valley
  • 00:22:08
    startup that's you know scaling and
  • 00:22:09
    serving lots of customers whatever um
  • 00:22:12
    having to do that
  • 00:22:15
    so quickly there was just like a lot of
  • 00:22:17
    stuff that I was supposed to get more
  • 00:22:19
    time to learn than I got and what did
  • 00:22:23
    you not know that you would have liked
  • 00:22:25
    more time to learn
  • 00:22:30
    I I I mean I would say like what did I
  • 00:22:32
    know um
  • 00:22:37
    the one of the things that just came to
  • 00:22:40
    mind out of like a rolling list of a 100
  • 00:22:42
    is how hard it is how much active work
  • 00:22:46
    it takes to get the company to focus not
  • 00:22:50
    on how you grow the next 10% but the
  • 00:22:52
    next 10x and growing the next 10% it's
  • 00:22:55
    the same things that worked before will
  • 00:22:56
    work again but to go from a company
  • 00:22:58
    doing say like a billion to1 billion
  • 00:23:00
    doar in Revenue
  • 00:23:02
    requires a whole lot of change and it is
  • 00:23:05
    not the sort of like let's do last week
  • 00:23:08
    what we did this week mindset and in a
  • 00:23:11
    world where people don't get time to
  • 00:23:14
    even get caught up on the basics because
  • 00:23:16
    growth is just
  • 00:23:18
    so rapid uh I I badly underappreciated
  • 00:23:24
    the amount of work it took to be able to
  • 00:23:26
    like keep charging at the next big step
  • 00:23:30
    forward while still not neglecting
  • 00:23:32
    everything else that we have to do um
  • 00:23:36
    there's a big piece of internal
  • 00:23:37
    communication around that and how you
  • 00:23:39
    sort of share information how you build
  • 00:23:41
    the structures to like get the company
  • 00:23:44
    to get good at thinking about 10x more
  • 00:23:47
    stuff or bigger stuff or more complex
  • 00:23:49
    stuff every eight months 12 months
  • 00:23:52
    whatever
  • 00:23:53
    um there's a big piece in there about
  • 00:23:56
    planning about how you
  • 00:23:58
    balance what has to happen today and
  • 00:24:01
    next month with the the long lead pieces
  • 00:24:03
    you need in place for to be able to
  • 00:24:06
    execute in a year or two years with you
  • 00:24:08
    know build out of compute or even you
  • 00:24:11
    know things that are more normal like
  • 00:24:13
    planning ahead enough for like office
  • 00:24:15
    space in a city like San Francisco is
  • 00:24:18
    surprisingly hard at this kind of rate
  • 00:24:21
    so I I think
  • 00:24:24
    the there was either no playbook for
  • 00:24:27
    this or someone had a secret Playbook
  • 00:24:28
    book they didn't give me um or all of us
  • 00:24:31
    like we've all just sort of fumbled our
  • 00:24:33
    way through this but there's been a lot
  • 00:24:34
    to learn on the
  • 00:24:36
    Fly God I don't know if I'm going to get
  • 00:24:38
    into trouble for this but s it I'll ask
  • 00:24:40
    it anyway and if so I'll deal with it
  • 00:24:42
    later um Keith R boy uh did a talk and
  • 00:24:46
    he said about you should hire incredibly
  • 00:24:48
    young people under 30 and that is what
  • 00:24:51
    Peter teal taught him and that is the
  • 00:24:52
    secret to building great companies and
  • 00:24:55
    it got a little bit of resistance uh to
  • 00:24:57
    say the least
  • 00:24:58
    um I'm intrigued when you think about
  • 00:25:01
    this book that you write in retirement
  • 00:25:03
    and that advice you build great
  • 00:25:05
    companies by building incredibly young
  • 00:25:08
    hungry ambitious people who are under 30
  • 00:25:11
    and that is the mechanism how do you
  • 00:25:13
    feel I think I was 30 when we started
  • 00:25:14
    opening eye or at least thereabouts so
  • 00:25:17
    you know I wasn't that
  • 00:25:24
    young seem to work okay so far
  • 00:25:28
    worth a try uh uh going back uh is the
  • 00:25:33
    question like the question is how do you
  • 00:25:35
    think about hiring incredibly young
  • 00:25:36
    under 30s as this like Trojan Horse of
  • 00:25:40
    Youth
  • 00:25:42
    energy ambition but less experience or
  • 00:25:45
    the much more experienced I know how to
  • 00:25:48
    do this I've done it
  • 00:25:49
    before um I mean the obvious answer is
  • 00:25:53
    you can succeed with hiring both classes
  • 00:25:56
    of people like we have
  • 00:25:59
    I was just like right before this I was
  • 00:26:01
    sending someone a slack message about
  • 00:26:04
    there was a guy that we recently hired
  • 00:26:05
    on one of the teams I don't know how old
  • 00:26:07
    he is but low 20 is probably doing just
  • 00:26:09
    insanely amazing work and I was like can
  • 00:26:11
    we find a lot more people like this this
  • 00:26:13
    is just like off the charts brilliant I
  • 00:26:14
    don't get how these people can be so
  • 00:26:16
    good so young but it clearly happens and
  • 00:26:18
    when you can find those people uh they
  • 00:26:21
    bring amazing fresh perspective energy
  • 00:26:24
    whatever else on the other hand uh when
  • 00:26:27
    you're like
  • 00:26:30
    designing some of the most complex and
  • 00:26:33
    massively
  • 00:26:34
    expensive computer systems that Humanity
  • 00:26:36
    has ever built actually like pieces of
  • 00:26:39
    infrastructure of any sort then I would
  • 00:26:42
    not be comfortable taking a bet on
  • 00:26:44
    someone who is just sort of like
  • 00:26:46
    starting out uh where the stakes are
  • 00:26:48
    higher so you
  • 00:26:51
    want you want both uh and I think what
  • 00:26:55
    you really want is just like an extreme
  • 00:26:58
    ex High Talent bar of people at any
  • 00:27:00
    age
  • 00:27:02
    and a strategy that said I'm only going
  • 00:27:05
    to
  • 00:27:06
    hire younger people or I'm only going to
  • 00:27:08
    hire older people I believe would be
  • 00:27:11
    misguided uh I I think it's like somehow
  • 00:27:15
    just not it's not quite the framing that
  • 00:27:17
    resonates with me but the part of it
  • 00:27:19
    that does is and one of the things that
  • 00:27:22
    I feel most
  • 00:27:24
    grateful about why combinator 4 is
  • 00:27:28
    inexperience does not inherently mean
  • 00:27:31
    not valuable and there are
  • 00:27:35
    incredibly high potential people at the
  • 00:27:37
    very beginning of their career that can
  • 00:27:39
    create huge amounts of value and uh we
  • 00:27:44
    as a society should bet on those people
  • 00:27:46
    and it's a great
  • 00:27:47
    thing I am going to return to some
  • 00:27:49
    semblance of the schedule as I'm I'm
  • 00:27:51
    really going to get told off but
  • 00:27:52
    anthropics models have been sometimes
  • 00:27:55
    cited as being better for coding
  • 00:27:58
    C why is that do you think that's fair
  • 00:28:01
    and how should developers think about
  • 00:28:03
    when to pick open AI versus a different
  • 00:28:07
    provider yeah they have a model that is
  • 00:28:09
    great at coding for sure uh and it's
  • 00:28:11
    impressive work
  • 00:28:14
    I I think developers use multiple models
  • 00:28:18
    most of the time and I'm not sure how
  • 00:28:21
    that's all going to evolve as we head
  • 00:28:23
    towards this more agen toied World um
  • 00:28:27
    but
  • 00:28:29
    I sort of think there's just going to be
  • 00:28:30
    a lot of AI everywhere and something
  • 00:28:33
    about the way that we currently talk
  • 00:28:35
    about it or think about it
  • 00:28:39
    feels wrong uh may maybe if I had to
  • 00:28:43
    describe it we will shift from talking
  • 00:28:44
    about models to talking about systems
  • 00:28:47
    but that'll take a
  • 00:28:48
    while when we think about skating models
  • 00:28:52
    how many more model iterations do you
  • 00:28:54
    think scaling laws will hold true for it
  • 00:28:57
    was the kind of
  • 00:28:58
    common refrain that it won't last for
  • 00:29:00
    long and it seems to be proving to last
  • 00:29:03
    longer than people
  • 00:29:05
    think
  • 00:29:08
    uh without going into detail about how
  • 00:29:10
    it's going to happen the the the core of
  • 00:29:13
    the question that you're getting at is
  • 00:29:16
    is the trajectory of model capability
  • 00:29:19
    Improvement going to keep going like it
  • 00:29:21
    has been going and the answer that I
  • 00:29:25
    believe is yes for a long time
  • 00:29:28
    have you ever doubted that totally why
  • 00:29:33
    uh we have had well we've had
  • 00:29:35
    like Behavior we don't understand we've
  • 00:29:38
    had filled training runs we' all sorts
  • 00:29:39
    of things we've had to figure out new
  • 00:29:41
    paradigms when we kind of get to towards
  • 00:29:43
    the end of one and have to figure out
  • 00:29:45
    the next what was the hardest one to
  • 00:29:49
    navigate um could be a new paradigm
  • 00:29:52
    could be a training
  • 00:29:53
    run which one do you remember most Fally
  • 00:29:56
    and how did you get through that
  • 00:30:00
    well when we started working on gp4
  • 00:30:02
    there were some issues that caused us a
  • 00:30:04
    lot of consternation that we really
  • 00:30:05
    didn't know how to solve we figured it
  • 00:30:08
    out but there was there was definitely a
  • 00:30:10
    time period where we just didn't know
  • 00:30:11
    how we were going to do that model um
  • 00:30:14
    and then in this shift to 01 and the
  • 00:30:18
    idea of reasoning models uh that was
  • 00:30:21
    something we had been excited about for
  • 00:30:23
    a long time but it was like a long and
  • 00:30:26
    Winding Road of research to get
  • 00:30:29
    here is it difficult to maintain morale
  • 00:30:33
    when it is long and winding roads when
  • 00:30:34
    training runs can fail how do you
  • 00:30:37
    maintain moral in those
  • 00:30:40
    times you know we have a lot of people
  • 00:30:43
    here who are excited to build AGI and
  • 00:30:45
    that that's a very motivating thing and
  • 00:30:48
    no one expects that to be easy and a
  • 00:30:50
    straight line to success but uh it does
  • 00:30:53
    feel like
  • 00:30:59
    there's a famous quote from history it's
  • 00:31:01
    something like I'm going to get this
  • 00:31:03
    totally wrong but the spirit of it is
  • 00:31:06
    like I never pray and ask for God to be
  • 00:31:09
    on my side you know I pray and hope to
  • 00:31:11
    be on God's side and there is something
  • 00:31:14
    about betting on deep learning that
  • 00:31:16
    feels like being on the side of the
  • 00:31:17
    angels
  • 00:31:18
    and you kind of just it eventually seems
  • 00:31:21
    to work out even though you hit some big
  • 00:31:23
    stumbling blocks along the way and so
  • 00:31:25
    like a deep belief in that has been good
  • 00:31:27
    for us
  • 00:31:30
    can I ask you a really weird one I had a
  • 00:31:32
    great quote the other day and it was the
  • 00:31:34
    heaviest things in life are not iron or
  • 00:31:36
    gold but unmade
  • 00:31:38
    decisions what unmade decision weighs on
  • 00:31:41
    your mind
  • 00:31:44
    most it's different every day like I
  • 00:31:46
    don't there's not one big
  • 00:31:50
    one I mean I guess there are some big
  • 00:31:52
    ones like about are we gonna bet on this
  • 00:31:56
    next product or that next product uh or
  • 00:31:59
    are we going to like build our next
  • 00:32:01
    computer this way or that way they are
  • 00:32:03
    kind of like really high stakes oneway
  • 00:32:06
    doorish that like everybody else I
  • 00:32:07
    probably delay for too long but but
  • 00:32:11
    mostly the hard part is every day it
  • 00:32:14
    feels like there are a few
  • 00:32:17
    new 5149
  • 00:32:19
    decisions that come up
  • 00:32:22
    that kind of make it to me because they
  • 00:32:25
    were 51 49 in the first place and that I
  • 00:32:28
    don't feel like particularly likely I
  • 00:32:30
    can do better than somebody else would
  • 00:32:33
    have done but I kind of have to make him
  • 00:32:34
    anyway and it's it's the volume of them
  • 00:32:37
    it is not
  • 00:32:40
    anyone is there a commonality in the
  • 00:32:42
    person that you co when it's
  • 00:32:45
    5149 no um
  • 00:32:50
    I I think the wrong way to do that is to
  • 00:32:52
    have one person you lean on for
  • 00:32:54
    everything and the right way to at least
  • 00:32:56
    for me the right way to do it is to have
  • 00:32:57
    like like 15 or 20 people Each of which
  • 00:33:00
    you have come to believe has good
  • 00:33:02
    instincts and good context in a
  • 00:33:04
    particular way and you get to like phone
  • 00:33:07
    a friend to the best expert rather than
  • 00:33:09
    try to have just one across the
  • 00:33:11
    board in terms of hard decisions I do
  • 00:33:13
    want to touch ON Semiconductor Supply
  • 00:33:15
    chains how wide are you about
  • 00:33:18
    semiconductor Supply chains and
  • 00:33:20
    international tensions
  • 00:33:23
    today I don't know how to quantify that
  • 00:33:26
    worried of course is the answer answer
  • 00:33:29
    uh it's probably not it's well I guess I
  • 00:33:30
    could quantify it this way it is not my
  • 00:33:32
    top worry but it is in like the top 10%
  • 00:33:35
    of all
  • 00:33:38
    worries am I allowed to ask what's your
  • 00:33:40
    top
  • 00:33:41
    worry I'm I'm in so much I've got past
  • 00:33:43
    the stage of being in trouble for this
  • 00:33:45
    one
  • 00:33:48
    um it's something
  • 00:33:53
    about the the sort of generalized
  • 00:33:56
    complexity of all we as a whole field
  • 00:33:59
    are trying to do
  • 00:34:02
    the and it feels like a I think it's all
  • 00:34:06
    going to work out fine but it feels like
  • 00:34:08
    a very complex system now this kind of
  • 00:34:12
    like works fractally at every level so
  • 00:34:13
    you can say that's also true like inside
  • 00:34:16
    of opening eye itself uh that's also
  • 00:34:18
    true inside of anyone team um but you
  • 00:34:23
    know an example of this since you were
  • 00:34:24
    just talking about semiconductors is you
  • 00:34:26
    got to balance the
  • 00:34:28
    power availability with the right
  • 00:34:30
    networking decisions with being able to
  • 00:34:31
    like get enough chips in time and
  • 00:34:33
    whatever risk there's going to be there
  • 00:34:35
    um with the ability to have the research
  • 00:34:37
    ready to intersect that so you don't
  • 00:34:39
    either like be caught totally flat
  • 00:34:41
    footed or have a system that you can't
  • 00:34:43
    utilize um with the right product that
  • 00:34:47
    is going to use that research to be able
  • 00:34:49
    to like pay the eye watering cost of
  • 00:34:51
    that system so
  • 00:34:55
    the it's supply chain makes it sign
  • 00:34:58
    sound too much like a pipeline but but
  • 00:35:00
    yeah the overall ecosystem complexity at
  • 00:35:03
    every level of like the fractal scan is
  • 00:35:06
    unlike anything I have seen in any
  • 00:35:08
    industry
  • 00:35:10
    before uh and some version of that is
  • 00:35:14
    probably my top
  • 00:35:16
    worry you said unlike anything we've
  • 00:35:18
    seen before a lot of people I think
  • 00:35:19
    compare this you know wave to the
  • 00:35:22
    internet bubble uh in terms of you know
  • 00:35:25
    the excitement and the exuberance and I
  • 00:35:26
    think the thing that's different is the
  • 00:35:27
    amount that people are spending Larry
  • 00:35:29
    Ellison said that it will cost a hundred
  • 00:35:31
    billion doar to enter the foundation
  • 00:35:33
    model race as a starting point do you
  • 00:35:36
    agree with that statement and when you
  • 00:35:37
    saw that we like yeah that makes
  • 00:35:40
    sense uh no I think it will cost less
  • 00:35:42
    than that but there there's an
  • 00:35:47
    interesting there's an interesting point
  • 00:35:49
    here um which is everybody likes to
  • 00:35:54
    use previous examples of a technology
  • 00:35:57
    Revolution to talk about to put a new
  • 00:35:59
    one into more familiar context and a I
  • 00:36:04
    think that's a bad habit on the whole
  • 00:36:06
    and but I understand why people do it
  • 00:36:09
    and B I think the ones people pick
  • 00:36:12
    for analogizing AI are particularly bad
  • 00:36:16
    so the internet was obviously quite
  • 00:36:19
    different than Ai and you brought up
  • 00:36:20
    this one thing about cost and whether it
  • 00:36:22
    cost like 10 billion or 100 billion or
  • 00:36:24
    whatever to be competitive it was very
  • 00:36:26
    like one of the defining things about
  • 00:36:28
    the
  • 00:36:29
    internet Revolution was it was actually
  • 00:36:33
    really easy to get started now another
  • 00:36:36
    thing that cuts more towards the
  • 00:36:38
    internet is
  • 00:36:41
    mostly for many companies this will just
  • 00:36:43
    be like a continuation of the Internet
  • 00:36:45
    it's just like someone else makes these
  • 00:36:46
    AI models and you get to use them to
  • 00:36:49
    build all sorts of great stuff and it's
  • 00:36:51
    like a new primitive for Building
  • 00:36:53
    Technology but if you're trying to build
  • 00:36:54
    the AI itself that's pretty different
  • 00:36:57
    another example people uses electricity
  • 00:37:00
    um which I think doesn't make sense for
  • 00:37:02
    a ton of reasons the one I like the most
  • 00:37:05
    caveat by my
  • 00:37:07
    earlier comment that I don't think
  • 00:37:09
    people should be doing this or trying to
  • 00:37:11
    like use these analogies to seriously is
  • 00:37:14
    the
  • 00:37:16
    transistor it was a new discovery of
  • 00:37:18
    physics it had incredible scaling
  • 00:37:21
    properties it seeped everywhere pretty
  • 00:37:24
    quickly you know we had things like mors
  • 00:37:27
    in a way that we could now imagine like
  • 00:37:29
    a bunch of laws for AI that tell us
  • 00:37:31
    something about how quickly it's going
  • 00:37:32
    to get better um and everyone kind of B
  • 00:37:36
    like the whole tech industry kind of
  • 00:37:38
    benefited from it and there's a lot of
  • 00:37:41
    transistors involved in the products and
  • 00:37:43
    delivery of services that you use but
  • 00:37:45
    you don't really think
  • 00:37:46
    of them as transistor
  • 00:37:49
    companies um it's there's a very complex
  • 00:37:53
    very expensive industrial process around
  • 00:37:55
    it with a massive supply chain and
  • 00:37:57
    and you know the the incredible progress
  • 00:38:01
    based off of this very simple discovery
  • 00:38:03
    of physics led to this gigantic uplift
  • 00:38:05
    of the whole economy for a long time
  • 00:38:07
    even though most of the time you didn't
  • 00:38:09
    to think about it and you don't say oh
  • 00:38:11
    this is a transistor product it's just
  • 00:38:13
    like all right this thing can like
  • 00:38:14
    process information for me you don't
  • 00:38:17
    even really think about that it's just
  • 00:38:19
    expected Sam I'd love to do a quick fire
  • 00:38:22
    round with you so I'm going to say so
  • 00:38:24
    I'm going to say a short statement you
  • 00:38:25
    give me your immediate thoughts okay
  • 00:38:28
    okay so you are building today as a
  • 00:38:32
    whatever 23 24 year old with the
  • 00:38:34
    infrastructure that we have
  • 00:38:36
    today what do you choose to build if you
  • 00:38:39
    started
  • 00:38:42
    today uh some AI enabled vertical I'll
  • 00:38:46
    I'll I'll use tutors as an example but
  • 00:38:48
    like the the the best AI tutoring
  • 00:38:51
    product or the you know that I could
  • 00:38:53
    possibly imagine to teach people to
  • 00:38:54
    learn any category like that could be
  • 00:38:56
    the AI lawyer could could be the sort of
  • 00:38:58
    like AI CAD engineer whatever you
  • 00:39:02
    mentioned your book that will be coming
  • 00:39:04
    out once it's written in retirement no I
  • 00:39:07
    said I think about it I I don't know if
  • 00:39:09
    I'll actually get around to it but I
  • 00:39:10
    think it's an interesting idea if you
  • 00:39:12
    were to write a book what would you call
  • 00:39:15
    it this is so unfair sorry Sam um I
  • 00:39:20
    don't have the title really I haven't
  • 00:39:22
    thought about this book other than like
  • 00:39:24
    I wish something existed because I think
  • 00:39:25
    it could unlock a lot of human potential
  • 00:39:28
    so maybe I think it would be something
  • 00:39:29
    about human
  • 00:39:30
    potential what in AI does no one focus
  • 00:39:33
    on that everyone should spend more time
  • 00:39:37
    on what is not hot should be
  • 00:39:44
    hot I think there's people focused on
  • 00:39:47
    everything uh what I would love to
  • 00:39:50
    see there's a lot of different ways to
  • 00:39:52
    solve this problem but something about
  • 00:39:54
    an AI that can understand your whole
  • 00:39:55
    life doesn't have to literally the
  • 00:39:58
    infinite context but some way that you
  • 00:40:00
    can have an AI agent that like knows
  • 00:40:02
    everything there is to know about you
  • 00:40:03
    has access to all of your data things
  • 00:40:06
    like that what was one thing that
  • 00:40:08
    surprised you in the last month
  • 00:40:12
    Sam it's a research result I can't talk
  • 00:40:15
    about but it is breathtakingly
  • 00:40:18
    good which competitor do you most
  • 00:40:21
    respect why
  • 00:40:24
    then uh I mean I kind of respect
  • 00:40:27
    everybody in the space right now I think
  • 00:40:29
    there's like really amazing work coming
  • 00:40:31
    from the whole field
  • 00:40:37
    I an incredibly talented incredibly
  • 00:40:39
    hardworking people I don't mean this to
  • 00:40:41
    be a question Dodge it's like I can
  • 00:40:42
    point to super talented people doing
  • 00:40:45
    super great work everywhere in the
  • 00:40:49
    field is that
  • 00:40:53
    one not
  • 00:40:56
    really uh tell me what's your favorite
  • 00:40:58
    open a
  • 00:41:00
    API I think the new real time API is
  • 00:41:03
    pretty awesome but we have a lot of I
  • 00:41:05
    mean we have a we have a big API
  • 00:41:07
    business at this point so there's a lot
  • 00:41:08
    of good stuff in there what are the
  • 00:41:10
    biggest constraints on llama from it
  • 00:41:12
    being open
  • 00:41:16
    source I don't know it seems like a
  • 00:41:18
    better question for
  • 00:41:21
    them I'm doing well with this quick F uh
  • 00:41:24
    who do you most respect in AI today Sam
  • 00:41:31
    like ever or doing current work doing
  • 00:41:33
    current
  • 00:41:34
    work like a person
  • 00:41:38
    yeah
  • 00:41:45
    um well I feel like I I feel like I
  • 00:41:47
    can't just go name a bunch of open AI
  • 00:41:49
    people because that would
  • 00:41:51
    be unfair uh and it would sound like I'm
  • 00:41:54
    just biased so let me try to think of a
  • 00:41:56
    non-opening eye person
  • 00:41:58
    person uh let me give a shout out to the
  • 00:42:00
    cursor team I mean there's a lot of
  • 00:42:02
    people doing incredible work in AI but I
  • 00:42:04
    think to really have do what they've
  • 00:42:07
    done and built I thought about like a
  • 00:42:09
    bunch of researchers I could name um
  • 00:42:12
    but in terms of using AI to deliver a
  • 00:42:16
    really magical uh experience that
  • 00:42:20
    creates a lot of value in a way that
  • 00:42:22
    people just didn't quite manage to put
  • 00:42:23
    the pieces together I think that's it's
  • 00:42:25
    really quite remarkable and I
  • 00:42:27
    specifically left anybody at open AI out
  • 00:42:29
    as I was thinking through it otherwise
  • 00:42:30
    it would have been a long list of open
  • 00:42:32
    AI people first how do you think about
  • 00:42:34
    the trade-off between latency and
  • 00:42:40
    accuracy you need a dial to change
  • 00:42:43
    between them like in the same way
  • 00:42:46
    that you want to do a rapid fire thing
  • 00:42:48
    now and I'm not even going that quick
  • 00:42:50
    but I'm you know trying not to think for
  • 00:42:51
    multiple minutes uh in this context
  • 00:42:54
    latency is what you want if you but if
  • 00:42:57
    you were like hey Sam I want you to go
  • 00:42:59
    like make a new important Discovery in
  • 00:43:01
    physics you'd probably be happy to wait
  • 00:43:03
    a couple of years and the answer is it
  • 00:43:07
    should be user
  • 00:43:10
    controllable can I ask when you think
  • 00:43:12
    about insecurity and Leadership I think
  • 00:43:13
    it's something that everyone has uh it's
  • 00:43:15
    something we don't often talk about um
  • 00:43:17
    when you think about maybe an insecurity
  • 00:43:19
    in leadership an area of your leadership
  • 00:43:21
    that you'd like to improve where would
  • 00:43:23
    you most like to improve as a leader and
  • 00:43:25
    a CEO today
  • 00:43:29
    [Music]
  • 00:43:31
    um it's a long list I'm trying to scam
  • 00:43:33
    for the top one
  • 00:43:38
    here the thing I'm struggling with most
  • 00:43:41
    this week is I feel more uncertain than
  • 00:43:45
    I have in the past
  • 00:43:47
    about
  • 00:43:49
    uh what are like the details of what our
  • 00:43:52
    product strategy should be um I think
  • 00:43:55
    that product is a weakness of mine in
  • 00:43:58
    general um and it's something that right
  • 00:44:02
    now the company like needs stronger and
  • 00:44:05
    clearer vision on from me like we have a
  • 00:44:07
    wonderful head of product and a great
  • 00:44:08
    product team but it's an area that I
  • 00:44:10
    wish I were a lot stronger on and
  • 00:44:13
    acutely feeling the the miss right now
  • 00:44:15
    you hired Kevin um I've known Kevin for
  • 00:44:17
    years he's exceptional Kevin's amazing
  • 00:44:21
    what makes Kevin worldclass as a product
  • 00:44:23
    leader to
  • 00:44:24
    you um this was the first word that came
  • 00:44:28
    to mind huh in terms of
  • 00:44:32
    focus focus what we're going to say no
  • 00:44:34
    to like really trying to speak on behalf
  • 00:44:37
    of the user about why we would do
  • 00:44:38
    something or not do something like
  • 00:44:40
    really trying to be rigorous about not
  • 00:44:43
    not having like Fantastical
  • 00:44:47
    dreams Sam you've done a lot of
  • 00:44:49
    interviews I want to finish with one
  • 00:44:51
    which is what question are you not often
  • 00:44:53
    or never asked that you often leave an
  • 00:44:56
    interview and think God I should have
  • 00:44:58
    been asked that or I wish I was asked
  • 00:45:05
    that I mean this is such a meta answer
  • 00:45:07
    but I've been asked that question so
  • 00:45:08
    many times that I've like used up all
  • 00:45:10
    time that is that is so
  • 00:45:12
    massive okay I'll change it then we have
  • 00:45:16
    a 5year horizon for open Ai and a
  • 00:45:20
    10-year if you have a magic wand and can
  • 00:45:23
    paint that scenario for the 5 year and
  • 00:45:25
    the 10 year can you paint that canvas
  • 00:45:27
    for me for the 5 and 10
  • 00:45:35
    year I mean I can easily do it for like
  • 00:45:37
    the next two years but if we are right
  • 00:45:41
    and we start to make systems that
  • 00:45:45
    are so good at you know for example
  • 00:45:48
    helping us with scientific
  • 00:45:50
    advancement actually I I will just say
  • 00:45:52
    it I think in five years it looks like
  • 00:45:54
    we have
  • 00:45:58
    an unbelievably rapid rate of
  • 00:46:00
    improvement in technology itself you
  • 00:46:03
    know people are like man the AGI moment
  • 00:46:06
    came and went whatever the like the the
  • 00:46:09
    pace of progress is like totally crazy
  • 00:46:12
    and we're discovering all this new stuff
  • 00:46:14
    both about AI research and also about
  • 00:46:16
    all the rest of
  • 00:46:17
    Science and that
  • 00:46:20
    feels like if we could sit here now and
  • 00:46:22
    look at it it would seem like it should
  • 00:46:25
    be very crazy and then the second part
  • 00:46:27
    of the prediction is that Society itself
  • 00:46:31
    actually changes surprisingly
  • 00:46:34
    little an example of this would be that
  • 00:46:37
    I think if you asked people five years
  • 00:46:39
    ago if computers were going to pass the
  • 00:46:41
    Turing test they would say no and then
  • 00:46:43
    if you said well what if an oracle told
  • 00:46:44
    you it was going to they would say well
  • 00:46:46
    it would somehow be like just this crazy
  • 00:46:49
    breathtaking change for society and we
  • 00:46:52
    did kind of satisfy the Turning test
  • 00:46:54
    roughly speaking of course and so
  • 00:46:56
    Society didn't change that much it just
  • 00:46:58
    sort of went whooshing
  • 00:47:00
    by and that's kind of uh example of what
  • 00:47:06
    I expect to keep happening which is
  • 00:47:08
    progress scientific progress keeps
  • 00:47:12
    going outperforming all expectations and
  • 00:47:15
    Society in a way that I think is good
  • 00:47:17
    and healthy um changes not that
  • 00:47:20
    much at least not that much in the long
  • 00:47:22
    term it will hugely change five or 10
  • 00:47:26
    years you've been amazing I had this
  • 00:47:28
    list of questions I I didn't really
  • 00:47:29
    stick to them uh thank you for putting
  • 00:47:32
    up with my Meandering around different
  • 00:47:34
    questions thank you everyone for coming
  • 00:47:36
    I'm so thrilled that we were able to do
  • 00:47:37
    this today and Sam thank you for making
  • 00:47:39
    it happen ma'am thank you
