In my ~14 months at @OpenAI, one of the most surprising and genuinely wonderful things about it, has been the full leadership support for full-duplex models (gpt-live series), even when it seemed deeply improbable that they would work.
And yet, if they did work, it was obvious how magical they could be. I am quite sure this is not an exception but a general rule for research projects at @OpenAI.
There were so many moments when the problem felt impossibly hard. But one thing kept being true: it was never clear why it shouldn’t work. And almost every time we understood the problem a little better, it became a little easier to solve.
I’m pretty sure there are very few environments in the world where a bet like this could have been made and sustained. So grateful to be part of this wonderful place.
Someone asked what I'd do if I were 17. I'd learn how to build LLMs from scratch, and then train ones as powerful as I could with whatever hardware I could get access to.
