Partnering with Ineffable Intelligence: A Superlearner for the Era of Experience

Sequoia 5 months ago 37 ● 2 sources

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.

Partnering with Ineffable Intelligence: A Superlearner for the Era of Experience

Sequoia 5 months ago 42 ● 2 sources

Sequoia announced a partnership with David Silver and the London lab Ineffable Intelligence to pursue reinforcement-learning “superlearner” research aimed at learning from experience rather than human data or imitation. The update cites a jump in AlphaGo Zero’s ELO rating from about 3,700 to 5,000+ after removing human pre-training. This backing expands Ineffable’s effort to scale reinforcement learning from a clean start, with Sequoia co-leading its first funding round.
