WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.357
And there's been this pattern where
these massive models come out uh they

00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:06.357
get distilled uh by open source model

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.077
makers and then open source is just a

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.077
couple months behind the leading
foundational models. Um

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.517
and you know, I guess like when
the investment was smaller, being a couple

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.437
months ahead, uh you know, mattered
a lot. But I'm curious now that the

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:24.477
investment is so big um and the models

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:26.757
are capabilities are increasing you

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:28.957
know, fairly dramatically you know, uh

00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:32.357
as you go. Um how is this defensible in

00:00:32.440 --> 00:00:36.277
the long term if you're just going
to have that pattern repeat over and over?

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:37.837
Well, I look at it a little differently.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.357
Like I think that the real
investment that we are making is into

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:46.717
that end-to-end co-design, right?
Of having a system a system of people,

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.957
right? Who are producing this technology,
right? A way of working

00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:53.277
together and some of this is about
how you leverage these massive

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:55.837
supercomputers to produce these models.

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.797
Now, it is also the case that it's not
as simple as you can take the output of

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.717
these models and distill and you have
exactly the model of the same capability.

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:07.797
It's just smaller and can run fast.
If that were the case, we would just do

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.837
that and then we would also have a model
that would be, you know, much more uh

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.517
easy to serve in in many ways.
And of course, there's a lot of art behind

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.837
distillation. There's a lot of great
things there. But the point that I'm

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.757
getting at is that the real thing that we
are investing in is the machine that

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.197
makes the machine. Now, the at the
deployment side, we think a lot about

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.077
safeguards. We think a lot about
mitigations and we do that for many many

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:32.157
different aspects of how these models

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.317
could be misused um in real
situations. And that's something

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.637
that we have been investing in for many
years and we think about that across

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:42.477
areas like cyber or thinking about that

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.397
areas like bio that we have a I
a long-standing effort that you can see in

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.157
our preparedness framework, which
is public, about how we approach these

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:55.637
kinds of uses of the model and how
we try to make maximize the benefits,

00:01:55.720 --> 00:01:59.877
mitigate the risks. And so I think it's
a real motion that every piece of what

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:03.117
we do needs to connect
to the question of how do we

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.357
continue to make progress, but also
how do we make these models broadly

00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:08.917
available? Because that's something
that we really believe in, that we believe

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.037
this technology empowers people,
and that we want it to benefit people and

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.237
lift everyone up. Yeah,
but just to go back on that, um

00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:19.037
the pricing on this model is, I think,

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.277
double the last model, GPT-5.4.

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.277
Um and so, from an economics or a
business standpoint, the question would

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.957
be, you know, let's say you keep
on progressing, but because there's been

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:33.757
all this infra- infrastructure
that's been put towards

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.597
training the models, if open source uh

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.637
can deliver not as good performance, but

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:42.317
almost as good, uh and do it cheaper, um

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.357
how do you handle that threat?

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:47.637
Well, again, I look at it a little
differently. So, first of all, if you

00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:51.397
look at our history, which
really is not driven by anything

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:54.797
in competition, it's just
like our our own sort of

00:02:54.880 --> 00:02:57.557
progress and and desire, we have dropped

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:02.277
prices on the same level of intelligence
year over year, sometimes by literally a

00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.237
factor of a hundred. Right? It's like,
at least an order of magnitude year over

00:03:05.320 --> 00:03:06.997
year, sometimes literally a hundred.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.517
But, the thing that keeps happening,
it's real Jevons paradox, where it's

00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:12.077
like you lower the cost of something,

00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:14.877
way more activity happens, right? And I

00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.517
think that what we keep seeing
is that there are returns to intelligence,

00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:23.477
right? That for the kinds of tasks that
these models are now capable of doing,

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.997
that a little bit more intelligence
goes a long way. And I think that is the

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.677
story of 5.5, that in some ways, you can
almost look at it as like, "Oh, there's

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:34.197
just an incremental improvement
in intelligence." But, I think there's

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.917
going to be a massive improvement
in terms of what people use it for. And by

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.997
the way, I actually think that
incremental is actually very much an

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.757
understatement for this model relative
to 5.5. You know, it's a point one

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.837
improvement in some ways, um but I
think that I that that actually really

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:52.717
undersells the magic that we see within
this model, and that the that our early

00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.320
testers have have really [music]
seen in their practical work.
