Introducing Sakana AI's Frontier Intelligence Group (FIG)

Sakana AI · 22

Sakana AI announced the creation of its Frontier Intelligence Group (FIG) to foster long-term, speculative AI research aimed at alternative paradigms beyond scaling today’s dominant approach. FIG is described as starting from a weekly chat between two researchers at the beginning of Sakana AI that later grew into the group. FIG will hold regular meetings, invite external researchers, and emphasize research freedom and investigating core questions about intelligence rather than prioritizing benchmark gains.
