Friday was our 3rd @sequoia AI Ascent, gathering over 150 of the top founders and researchers in AI! We’ve just released the first batch of videos from the event 👀 🌲
🦾 @DrJimFan of @nvidia: The Physical Turing Test? When robots clean your home unsupervised.
The key is ning in millions of virtual worlds so the physical world becomes just another scenario they've already mastered.
We like to call this the "Fan Physical Test." Go Jim!

💼 @btaylor of @SierraPlatform : AI agents redefine software business models.
The future sells outcomes, not productivity tools. Pricing based on value delivered gives startups an edge over incumbents locked in traditional models.

🤖 @hwchase17 of @langchain : Ambient agents that are always-on and constantly monitor events so they can act autonomously.
The "Agent Inbox" provides human oversight—agents seek approval when needed.

⚡ @ChaseLochmiller of @CrusoeAI: AI data centers have become industrial "compute factories."
The bottleneck isn't just chips anymore—it's energy, materials, and infrastructure. Power availability now determines where AI hubs emerge.

🔍@isafulf of @OpenAI: Deep Research enables ChatGPT to conduct complex multi-step research with full citations in minutes instead of hours. The system clarifies goals first and shows its reasoning throughout.
Next: integrating private data and moving from research to action.

🧠 @danintheory of @OpenAI : Reinforcement learning is evolving to be the main driver of AI breakthroughs.
o3 solves complex physics problems in minutes that take hours to verify—imagine Einstein with unlimited compute. Dan is a rockstar Eng and Physicist...fun fact we sat across from each other for over a year!

Will be posting more talks in the days to come! Don’t miss talks from @AnthropicAI CPO @mikeyk, @GoogleDeepMind Chief Scientist @JeffDean, @OpenAI’s @sama, and many more.
