Gabe Pereyra(@gabepereyra):When I was an undergrad at USC, I emailed @JeffDean inviting him to come play soccer with the club team after his talk on campus. To my surprise he ended up moving a meeting with the dean to come and play with us. What is truly special about Jeff is that despite being responsible for some of the most impressive engineering and AI work in history, he still finds time for everyone - even if it means taking a break from inventing tensorflow to kick a ball around with an undergrad who looked up to him. I was fortunate to see some of the great work Jeff, @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix did at Brain and DeepMind. They are truly unique - so excited to see what this team can build.

Announcing Discovery Loop! I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world’s most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we’re excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor. ♾ Learn more at:
