Google legends Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le announced the founding of Discovery Loop, a Public Benefit Corporation. The new lab's mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress.
The four founders have worked together at Google for 14 to 30 years, helping build some of the world's most used products, infrastructure, and AI models. Industry commentators are calling it the ultimate stacked roster for a recursive self-improving AI lab, noting Jeff Dean alone was key to initiatives like Google's TPU division, adding immense market cap over his 27-year tenure.
