BREAKING: The future of AI isn't open vs. closed. We need a TON of both. Turing CEO on why frontier AI & open-weight models are increasingly serving different parts of the AI stack. “There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs. But there's also a place in the world for Model Ys.” Frontier models continue pushing the limits of intelligence. Jonathan's point isn't that one replaces the other. We need frontier AI to keep advancing capabilities & open models to diffuse those capabilities across the economy. BTW "Only 2% of US households pay for AI" It's still early. At the same time, AI training is moving beyond benchmarks into simulated environments built for real work, as agents move from completing tasks to operating autonomously for days, & eventually weeks, months & years. @turingcom CEO Jonathan Siddharth (@Jonsid) We break down what this shift means for frontier labs, enterprises & the AI stack: › Frontier AI vs. sovereign AI › Distillation & the shrinking model gap › Why enterprises are moving to open models › What AI safety & alignment teams actually do › Reward hacking & why “if the model can figure out a way to cheat & get the reward, it will” › Super Intelligence, recursive self-improvement & slow takeoff 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Jonathan Siddharth, Co-Founder & CEO at Turing (01:03) The biggest shift in AI data this year (04:10) Why AI won't replace jobs, but uplevel them (08:31) The arms race inside cybersecurity (11:22) Why train AI on what it shouldn't do?

Frontier AI is a Ferrari or Koenigsegg. Turing CEO Jonathan Siddharth (@Jonsid) says sometimes enterprise AI just needs a Model Y, but most of the time, they need both: “There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs.” “But there's also a place in the world for Model Y’s when you just want to go from place A to place B as efficiently as possible.” If you're Elon, Sam, Satya or Dario, if there is a model that helps them be 5-10% more productive or effective in making decisions, you probably want the biggest, baddest model in the world.” “But if you are automating a workflow in customer support, you don't need that.”

We're building a strong research team at @turingcom. Hiring at all levels to work on: - The science of data generation and RL environments - Post-training and RL - New benchmarks and evals for frontier models You'll publish and collaborate with academia. DM if interested.
