    If I ever met any of these people in real life, I would make their day extremely unpleasant. Dismantle this company and arrest everyone.

  • Getting it all wrong

    These people all sound so smart, but they fundamentally fail to understand - even with all the data and tools available - that economic growth is not the key to human happiness and prosperity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Tejal Patwardhan stopped underestimating the models - Episode 21
Q: Why is saturation of benchmarks a problem and how do you address it in frontier evals?
Benchmark saturation makes it hard to differentiate model progress; the team emphasizes unsaturated, more realistic tasks, transparency about gaps, and building a balanced suite of evals that cover science, real work, and safety to guide continual improvement.
Why Tejal Patwardhan stopped underestimating the models - Episode 21
Q: What do you see as current limitations of evals and benchmarks for these models?
The conversation highlights that static benchmarks struggle to capture long-horizon work and real-world utilization, with models able to perform tasks over extended periods; thus, evaluation needs to emphasize real-world context, tool use, and production usage to forecast progress and impact.
Why Tejal Patwardhan stopped underestimating the models - Episode 21
