AI Frontiers: The Physics of AI with Sébastien Bubeck
Today I’m sitting down with Sébastien Bubeck, who leads the Machine Learning Foundations Group at Microsoft Research. In recent months, some of us at Microsoft had the extraordinary privilege of early access to GPT-4. We took the opportunity to dive deep into its remarkable reasoning, problem-solving, and the many other abilities that emerge from the massive scale of GPT-4.
Sébastien and his team took this opportunity to probe the model in new ways to gain insight into the nature of its intelligence. Sébastien and his collaborators have shared some of their observations in the new paper called “Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Experiments with an early version of GPT-4.”
Welcome to A.I. Frontiers.
Sébastien, I’m excited for this discussion.
The place that I want to start is with what I
