His work spanned neural program synthesis, reinforcement learning, and language model reasoning, with major contributions to ChatGPT, GPT-4, Codex, and the development of OpenAI’s o1 and o3 reasoning models. At Core Automation, he is pursuing a new vision for AI development: building systems that automate research workflows while exploring learning algorithms and architectures beyond conventional large-scale pretraining. His work focuses on how AI systems can become better at reasoning, learn from experience, and help accelerate the research process itself.Topics

• What it takes to build systems that can solve increasingly complex problems.
• Automating AI research with agents, including how systems work.
• Moving beyond conventional pretraining toward continual learning.
