andrewgwils · x · 2026-11-09
Andrew Gordon Wilson details the Perplexity Frontier Research agenda via a roadmap diagram:
- Multi-agent orchestration: automated research scientist, agentic search, open + closed weights — "best quality for any cost"
- Pre-training: new architectures, synthetic data, scaling science
- Continual learning: curiosity, memory persistence, personalization
- RL: verifiable & rubric rewards, post-training environments from real usage
- Systems: inference/training environments, security; Frontier evals: model vs. harness, memorization vs. reasoning
He frames it as "an environment where you could propose the next transformer."
