Jeff Dean's new startup Discovery Loop, founded with Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le and Oriol Vinyals, is seeking a $50B valuation — up from $10B just weeks ago. It aims to automate scientific and engineering discovery by running thousands of AI experiments in parallel, with Google as a founding investor; Khosla compares it to his early OpenAI bet.
