Partnering with Ineffable Intelligence: A Superlearner for the Era of Experience
Sequoia amoore
Sequoia Capital is backing Ineffable Intelligence, a new AI research lab founded by David Silver, to build a reinforcement learning system that learns purely from environmental interaction without pre-training or human data. The approach, which Silver previously demonstrated through AlphaGo Zero achieving an ELO rating of 5,000+ compared to ~3,700 for the pre-trained AlphaGo, aims to discover knowledge across physics, mathematics, and technology without human shortcuts. The lab represents a contrarian bet that scaling RL from a clean base could lead to capabilities beyond systems trained on internet data.
