How Do Google Researchers Co-work With Models?

Sundar Pichai says Google is definitely at a stage where AI researchers co-work with the models in a deep way. A lot of humans stay in the loop because of the safety aspects.

The models are involved and maybe suggesting recipes, and they automatically evaluate next checkpoints. He says there is a healthy amount of models and researchers co-working. Some aspects of the pipeline are probably closer to recursive self-improvement, some are less so, and the whole continuum is shifting. Pichai expects the next 12 months to see continued acceleration because of recursive self-improvement.

He says it is important to think about how Google develops the frontier while moving through that shift.
