Lenny and I talked about: • Why Anthropic and Google are winning • The brutal choice model builders face: Engagement vs. Values • The underappreciated post-training skills: Taste and Sophistication • Why Fields Medalists love teaching models on our platform • What RL environments teach us about agents • Why we're still a decade from AGI Listen to it here: https://t.co/PjzAKNafkK
