OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Slams AI Researchers for Underestimating Scaling's Potential
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes a generation of researchers has held back the field of AI by underestimating the power of scaling large language models, a strategy that has already led to breakthroughs in mathematics and other areas. Altman's comments come as OpenAI and other companies continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI.
At a Stanford talk, Sam Altman defended LLM scaling and hit back at skeptics, saying a whole generation of researchers slowed the field by underestimating what scaling could do. He cited OpenAI's recent disproof of a mathematical conjecture as evidence.
