Adaption Labs: Gradient-Free Continual Learning — Sara Hooker, Adaption
Sara Hooker from Adaption Labs argues that AI development is facing a revolution.
Currently, a handful of companies and research institutions control how large AI models are trained — fewer than 5,000 people worldwide know how to do it. Hooker presents AutoScientist, a tool that automates the training process itself and finds better solutions than humans by testing different design choices instead of relying on prior experience. She also claims that the era when larger models are always better is coming to an end, which would make it possible for more people to build powerful AI systems — because smaller, smart models can be deployed without requiring enormous GPU resources concentrated in one place.
