I’ve left Google DeepMind after an amazing chapter.
I’m incredibly grateful for the people I worked with, the things we built, and the lessons I learned from taking frontier AI research into production. DeepMind shaped how I think about research, product, evaluation, and what it takes to build AI systems at real scale.
As I wrap up this chapter, I wrote down something I’ve been thinking about a lot: evals.
We’re good at evaluating the models we have. We’re much worse at evaluating the models we’re about to build — especially if they cross into a new capability regime. We will have self-evolving models, but before that, we need self-evolving evaluations.
