“Epoch is one of the coolest (and in my opinion underrated) research orgs for understanding trends in ML. Rather than speculating, they meticulously analyze empirical trends and make projections for the future. Lots of interesting findings in their data!”

“How AI should be governed depends hugely on empirical factors: what is needed to train frontier AI systems, in terms of costs, model size, and so on? How should we expect that to change? Epoch has in a short time produced some of the most useful work out there on these questions. I expect their research to continue informing my views and my work in years to come.”
