OpenAI research lead Noam Brown thinks certain AI ‘reasoning’ models could’ve arrived decades ago


Noam Brown, who leads AI reasoning research at OpenAI, says that "reasoning" models like OpenAI's o1 could've arrived 20 years earlier.

“There were various reasons why this research direction was neglected,” Brown said during a panel at Nvidia’s GTC conference in San Jose on Wednesday. Brown is one of the principal architects behind o1, an AI model that employs a technique called test-time inference to “think” before it responds to queries. Brown was asked during the panel whether academia could ever hope to perform experiments on the scale of AI labs like OpenAI, given institutions’ general lack of access to computing resources.
