Summary

OpenAI researchers Mark Chen and Jakub Pachocki drive the company's pursuit of artificial general intelligence, developing powerful reasoning models that can autonomously tackle complex coding, math, and scientific tasks over extended time periods.

Key Points

  • OpenAI's twin heads of research, Mark Chen and Jakub Pachocki, shape the company's technical vision and research roadmap
  • They are focused on developing more capable reasoning models that can tackle complex tasks in coding, math, and science
  • Chen and Pachocki believe models with longer 'autonomous time' to work on problems will be a key milestone toward artificial general intelligence
