tkasasagi · x · 2026-08-06
Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean and his founding team outlined their core vision: driving AI development through an automated experimental loop. They plan to initially focus on ML research and engineering before expanding to other scientific and engineering disciplines.
hardmaru, co-founder of Sakana AI, strongly echoed this sentiment. He believes that bringing the AI Scientist into a loop of recursive self-improvement will be the next major paradigm shift in AI beyond building large foundation models, profoundly altering the field's trajectory.
