SUMMARY:Christopher Ong | Research Acceleration: The View Inside OpenAI
DESCRIPTION:In the last year\, AI models have rapidly improved on public be
 nchmarks measuring their ability to carry out research tasks autonomously.
  Such performance suggests that models may be capable of automating parts 
 of the AI R&D process itself\, thereby accelerating the pace of AI progres
 s. However\, there is still little empirical data on how these new capabil
 ities have changed the research process within the AI labs at the research
  frontier. This talk will share findings from OpenAI's recent report on AI
 -powered research acceleration\, which aims to help fill this gap. We will
  also discuss future research directions for the economics of recursive se
 lf-improvement (RSI). The report documents several stylized facts. First\,
  models are increasingly capable of autonomously completing research tasks
  that would take a human researcher several hours or even days to finish. 
 However\, completing longer tasks remains challenging and more frequently 
 requires human intervention. Second\, agentic use is…\n\nhttps://localz.
