OpenAI’s industrial compute chief Sachin Katti says scaling laws in research and training still hold, and argues that AI is now doing a lot of AI research itself, which is speeding up the pace of progress.
He adds that every time people think they have enough compute to slow down, reality proves otherwise. The thread is essentially a note of continuing compute demand and faster research iteration.
