    How Glean CEO Arvind Jain Solved the Enterprise Search Problem – and What It Means for AI at Work

    Years before co-founding Glean, Arvind was an early Google employee who helped design the search algorithm. Today, Glean is building search and work assistants inside the enterprise, which is arguably an even harder problem. One of the reasons enterprise search is so difficult is that each individual at the company has different permissions and access to different documents and information, meaning that every search needs to be fully personalized. Solving this difficult ingestion and ranking problem also unlocks a key problem for AI: feeding the right context into LLMs to make them useful for your enterprise context. Arvind and his team are harnessing generative AI to synthesize, make connections, and turbo-change knowledge work. Hear Arvind’s vision for what kind of work we’ll do when work AI assistants reach their potential.  Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital  00:00 - Introduction 08:35 - Search rankings  11:30 - Retrieval-Augmented Generation 15:52 - Where enterprise search meets RAG 19:13 - How is Glean changing work?  26:08 - Agentic reasoning  31:18 - Act 2: application platform  33:36 - Developers building on Glean  35:54 - 5 years into the future  38:48 - Advice for founders

    OpenAI Researcher Dan Roberts on What Physics Can Teach Us About AI

    In recent years there’s been an influx of theoretical physicists into the leading AI labs. Do they have unique capabilities suited to studying large models or is it just herd behavior? To find out, we talked to our former AI Fellow (and now OpenAI researcher) Dan Roberts. Roberts, co-author of The Principles of Deep Learning Theory, is at the forefront of research that applies the tools of theoretical physics to another type of large complex system, deep neural networks. Dan believes that DLLs, and eventually LLMs, are interpretable in the same way a large collection of atoms is—at the system level. He also thinks that emphasis on scaling laws will balance with new ideas and architectures over time as scaling asymptotes economically. Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital  Mentioned in this episode: The Principles of Deep Learning Theory: An Effective Theory Approach to Understanding Neural Networks, by Daniel A. Roberts, Sho Yaida, Boris Hanin Black Holes and the Intelligence Explosion: Extreme scenarios of AI focus on what is logically possible rather than what is physically possible. What does physics have to say about AI risk? Yang-Mills & The Mass Gap: An unsolved Millennium Prize problem AI Math Olympiad: Dan is on the prize committee

    Google NotebookLM’s Raiza Martin and Jason Spielman on Creating Delightful AI Podcast Hosts and the Potential for Source-Grounded AI

    NotebookLM from Google Labs has become the breakout viral AI product of the year. The feature that catapulted it to viral fame is Audio Overview, which generates eerily realistic two-host podcast audio from any input you upload—written doc, audio or video file, or even a PDF. But to describe NotebookLM as a “podcast generator” is to vastly undersell it. The real magic of the product is in offering multi-modal dimensions to explore your own content in new ways—with context that’s surprisingly additive. 200-page training manuals become synthesized into digestible chapters, turned into a 10-minute podcast—or both—and shared with the sales team, just to cite one example. Raiza Martin and Jason Speilman join us to discuss how the magic happens, and what’s next for source-grounded AI. Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital

    Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy on Using Data to Create Simple, Reliable AI for Businesses

    All of us as consumers have felt the magic of ChatGPT—but also the occasional errors and hallucinations that make off-the-shelf language models problematic for business use cases with no tolerance for errors. Case in point: A model deployed to help create a summary for this episode stated that Sridhar Ramaswamy previously led PyTorch at Meta. He did not. He spent years running Google’s ads business and now serves as CEO of Snowflake, which he describes as the data cloud for the AI era. Ramaswamy discusses how smart systems design helped Snowflake create reliable "talk-to-your-data" applications with over 90% accuracy, compared to around 45% for out-of-the-box solutions using off the shelf LLMs. He describes Snowflake's commitment to making reliable AI simple for their customers, turning complex software engineering projects into straightforward tasks.  Finally, he stresses that even as frontier models progress, there is significant value to be unlocked from current models by applying them more effectively across various domains. Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode:  Cortex Analyst: Snowflake’s talk-to-your-data API Document AI: Snowflake feature that extracts in structured information from documents

    OpenAI's Noam Brown, Ilge Akkaya and Hunter Lightman on o1 and Teaching LLMs to Reason Better

    Combining LLMs with AlphaGo-style deep reinforcement learning has been a holy grail for many leading AI labs, and with o1 (aka Strawberry) we are seeing the most general merging of the two modes to date. o1 is admittedly better at math than essay writing, but it has already achieved SOTA on a number of math, coding and reasoning benchmarks. Deep RL legend and now OpenAI researcher Noam Brown and teammates Ilge Akkaya and Hunter Lightman discuss the ah-ha moments on the way to the release of o1, how it uses chains of thought and backtracking to think through problems, the discovery of strong test-time compute scaling laws and what to expect as the model gets better.  Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital  Mentioned in this episode: Learning to Reason with LLMs: Technical report accompanying the launch of OpenAI o1. Generator verifier gap: Concept Noam explains in terms of what kinds of problems benefit from more inference-time compute. Agent57: Outperforming the human Atari benchmark, 2020 paper where DeepMind demonstrated “the first deep reinforcement learning agent to obtain a score that is above the human baseline on all 57 Atari 2600 games.” Move 37: Pivotal move in AlphaGo’s second game against Lee Sedol where it made a move so surprising that Sedol thought it must be a mistake, and only later discovered he had lost the game to a superhuman move. IOI competition: OpenAI entered o1 into the International Olympiad in Informatics and received a Silver Medal. System 1, System 2: The thesis if Danial Khaneman’s pivotal book of behavioral economics, Thinking, Fast and Slow, that positied two distinct modes of thought, with System 1 being fast and instinctive and System 2 being slow and rational. AlphaZero: The predecessor to AlphaGo which learned a variety of games completely from scratch through self-play. Interestingly, self-play doesn’t seem to have a role in o1. Solving Rubik’s Cube with a robot hand: Early OpenAI robotics paper that Ilge Akkaya worked on. The Last Question: Science fiction story by Isaac Asimov with interesting parallels to scaling inference-time compute. Strawberry: Why? O1-mini: A smaller, more efficient version of 1 for applications that require reasoning without broad world knowledge. 00:00 - Introduction 01:33 - Conviction in o1 04:24 - How o1 works 05:04 - What is reasoning? 07:02 - Lessons from gameplay 09:14 - Generation vs verification 10:31 - What is surprising about o1 so far 11:37 - The trough of disillusionment 14:03 - Applying deep RL 14:45 - o1’s AlphaGo moment? 17:38 - A-ha moments 21:10 - Why is o1 good at STEM? 24:10 - Capabilities vs usefulness 25:29 - Defining AGI 26:13 - The importance of reasoning 28:39 - Chain of thought 30:41 - Implication of inference-time scaling laws 35:10 - Bottlenecks to scaling test-time compute 38:46 - Biggest misunderstanding about o1? 41:13 - o1-mini 42:15 - How should founders think about o1?

    Why Vlad Tenev and Tudor Achim of Harmonic Think AI Is About to Change Math—and Why It Matters

    Adding code to LLM training data is a known method of improving a model’s reasoning skills. But wouldn’t math, the basis of all reasoning, be even better? Up until recently, there just wasn’t enough usable data that describes mathematics to make this feasible. A few years ago, Vlad Tenev (also founder of Robinhood) and Tudor Achim noticed the rise of the community around an esoteric programming language called Lean that was gaining traction among mathematicians. The combination of that and the past decade’s rise of autoregressive models capable of fast, flexible learning made them think the time was now and they founded Harmonic. Their mission is both lofty—mathematical superintelligence—and imminently practical, verifying all safety-critical software. Hosted by: Sonya Huang and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital  Mentioned in this episode: IMO and the Millennium Prize: Two significant global competitions Harmonic hopes to win (soon) Riemann hypothesis: One of the most difficult unsolved math conjectures (and a Millenium Prize problem) most recently in the sights of MIT mathematician Larry Guth Terry Tao: perhaps the greatest living mathematician and Vlad’s professor at UCLA Lean: an open source functional language for code verification launched by Leonardo de Moura when at Microsoft Research in 2013 that powers the Lean Theorem Prover mathlib: the largest math textbook in the world, all written in Lean Metaculus: online prediction platform that tracks and scores thousands of forecasters Minecraft Beaten in 20 Seconds: The video Vlad references as an analogy to AI math Navier-Stokes equations: another important Millenium Prize math problem. Vlad considers this more tractable that Riemann John von Neumann: Hungarian mathematician and polymath that made foundational contributions to computing, the Manhattan Project and game theory Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: co-inventor of calculus and (remarkably) creator of the “universal characteristic,” a system for reasoning through a language of symbols and calculations—anticipating Lean and Harmonic by 350 years! 00:00 - Introduction 01:42 - Math is reasoning 06:16 - Studying with the world's greatest living mathematician 10:18 - What does the math community think of AI math? 15:11 - Recursive self-improvement 18:31 - What is Lean? 21:05 - Why now? 22:46 - Synthetic data is the fuel for the model 27:29 - How fast will your model get better? 29:45 - Exploring the frontiers of human knowledge 34:11 - Lightning round

    Jim Fan on Nvidia’s Embodied AI Lab and Jensen Huang’s Prediction that All Robots will be Autonomous

    AI researcher Jim Fan has had a charmed career. He was OpenAI’s first intern before he did his PhD at Stanford with “godmother of AI,” Fei-Fei Li. He graduated into a research scientist position at Nvidia and now leads its Embodied AI “GEAR” group. The lab’s current work spans foundation models for humanoid robots to agents for virtual worlds. Jim describes a three-pronged data strategy for robotics, combining internet-scale data, simulation data and real world robot data. He believes that in the next few years it will be possible to create a “foundation agent” that can generalize across skills, embodiments and realities—both physical and virtual. He also supports Jensen Huang’s idea that “Everything that moves will eventually be autonomous.” Hosted by: Stephanie Zhan and Sonya Huang, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: World of Bits: Early OpenAI project Jim worked on as an intern with Andrej Karpathy. Part of a bigger initiative called Universe Fei-Fei Li: Jim’s PhD advisor at Stanford who founded the ImageNet project in 2010 that revolutionized the field of visual recognition, led the Stanford Vision Lab and just launched her own AI startup, World Labs Project GR00T: Nvidia’s “moonshot effort” at a robotic foundation model, premiered at this year’s GTC Thinking Fast and Slow: Influential book by Daniel Kahneman that popularized some of his teaching from behavioral economics Jetson Orin chip: The dedicated series of edge computing chips Nvidia is developing to power Project GR00T Eureka: Project by Jim’s team that trained a five finger robot hand to do pen spinning MineDojo: A project Jim did when he first got to Nvidia that developed a platform for general purpose agents in the game of Minecraft.
