David Silver, the former DeepMind scientist behind AlphaGo, is building a startup called Ineffable around an AI “super learner”, the Financial Times says. The approach uses reinforcement learning as an alternative path to large language models.
Why it mattersThat is a useful signal from a prominent AI researcher: not every effort to build more capable systems is following the LLM road. The report excerpt offers no further detail on how Ineffable’s system works or what it can do, so the ambition is clearer than the product, for now.
Discuss: Should AI development keep pursuing alternatives to language models, or is the LLM path still the best bet?
