    WHY I LEFT GOOGLE DEEPMIND: THE TRUTH BEHIND AI LABS 💥👇 Beyond the Model Series 2, Episode 1 with my friend and all round extraordinary human Yanping Huang ❤️ What a pleasure it was to hear about the life of a highly successful research leader who spent over a decade inside Google Brain and Google DeepMind. Yanping is a fascinating, highly intelligent, considered and deeply talented human. Tune into this latest episode to hear how he and his colleagues pioneered AI techniques used by the entire AI research community. And, if you're curious, what it takes to navigate FAANG AI Labs, and why one might pursue their own thing... Yanping - it was a pleasure 🤝 Strativ Group + Dan Wilkinson - thanks for making this happen! Link in the comments people! 👇☑️ #machinelearning #bigtech #artificialintelligence #ai #google

    POV: A private dinner with researchers from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind and MORE 🔥👇 Long gone are the days when scientists can meet up and speak about actual science without fear of being aggressively pitched Seriously - they can't escape it (those pesky recruiters 💀👀) SOOO, we (Strativ Group) arranged a private dinner where people could talk shop. No pitches, no sales - just real conversation. 💪 It was awesome. Really. We had everything from EvolutionaryScale to Martian to Google to Meta and everything in between. Lots of great conversation and a few more grey hairs acquired ✅ Here's the series link --> https://lnkd.in/er-qrW5Y #machinelearning #beyondthemodel #ai

    Waymo just announced they are coming to London in 2026 - what an awesome surprise! In this video you can see exaaaactly what it's like 😎👀 Me and ☁️ Antonia Otter managed to catch our first one a few weeks back in SF and let me tell you - it was a vibeeeeee 😅🔥 You get it, jazz music starts playing and boom - off it goes... It's got to be the future right? As someone who's been building AI teams for a long time, and someone who remembers when self-driving cars were looked on as a failure, this is awesome. But yeah, wild wild wild - can't wait to sit in LDN traffic 😅🤣 And incase you want to see the rest of our vlogs, the series link is here ---> https://lnkd.in/er-qrW5Y

    YEAH. I VLOG NOW 😏   I filmed an entire week BTS doing recruitment in San Francisco, including:   🤝 Podcasts with 2 Google DeepMind veterans.    🤝 Hosting a private research dinner with the world's best.    🤝 Spending invaluable face-to-face time with amazing people   Recruitment elicits often quite negative reactions from people.    I'm proud of the work we do, proud to work with people who are changing the world and proud to play my part in it.    7 years ago, I'd have laughed if you told me that business class flights to SF (best $300 purchase ever btw) would be my job.    Now it is, and I love it 🚀🔥   Shout out to Dan Wilkinson for trusting me with an expensive camera. Poor decision making from him. Huge shout out to ☁️ Antonia Otter for coming with me 🤝😎   And generally from Strativ Group letting me vlog. Hope you guys enjoy 💥   There's a vlog for everyday; here's the series link: https://lnkd.in/er-qrW5Y #AI #SanFrancisco #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence

    Anthropic dropped an absolute banger last week: "Tracing the thoughts of an LLM"... 👇💥 They literally trace Claude’s thoughts step-by-step 😬🤯 By freezing the model mid-generation and probing intermediate activations, they show how Claude plans, revises, and sometimes second-guesses itself before it even speaks. You can see the latent reasoning evolve token by token—like a thought bubble forming before words. This isn’t toy examples either—they dig into algebra problems, logic puzzles, and even hallucinated citations. It’s one of the clearest looks yet at what’s actually going on inside a frontier LLM. And honestly, it raises the bar for interpretability research. Super cool read for anyone thinking about alignment, chain-of-thought, or the inner lives of transformers. Link below and let us know your thoughts in the comments 💫🙌👇 #beyondthemodel #machinelearning #deeplearning #claude #anthropic

    Google just claimed its AI ‘Co Scientist’ solved in days what took scientists over a decade. But did it really? 🧬 There’s no doubt AI-assisted science has the potential for massive breakthroughs—arguably more than any other field. And this is an impressive step forward. But let’s be clear: the 10-year challenge wasn’t in formulating the hypothesis—it was in experimentally validating the results. That distinction matters. A tool that rapidly generates hypotheses and collates research is valuable. But the bottleneck in science isn’t just idea generation—it’s proving those ideas in the lab. I do however feel optimistic about our chances here. We need more of this work. So, this is a huge step in the right direction. If AI can generate hypotheses faster than we can test them, what does that mean for the future of science? https://lnkd.in/ecz3Gw4a #beyondthemodel #artificialintelligence #machinelearning

    I genuinely believe the next 5 / 10 years will bring change so transformational, it's hard to realistically contemplate what they will be☠️🚀 And between DeepSeek AI's R1 and OpenAI's Stargate announcement, it's already been a fairly crazy start to the year 😅 The question I'm seeing a lot of people ask is: Are we optimizing our way out of the AI arms race, or are we stepping on the gas? 👀 IMO, we're stepping on the gas 😮💨 Jevons Paradox states that as technological improvements make a resource more efficient, its overall consumption often increases rather than decreases (Shoutout to Satya Nadella). As training and inference costs drop, AI adoption will accelerate, embedding itself even deeper into industries that haven’t yet fully leveraged its potential. The result? More demand for compute, not less 💥🔥 Which is simple, really. You make something objectively useful more efficient and more people will use it. Domains that have historically been less accessible to AI will now be reaping the rewards. And I cannot wait. LFG 💥😮💨🚀 #beyondthemodel #machinelearning #artificialintelligence
