OPENAI RESEARCH LEAD NOAM BROWN THINKS CERTAIN AI 'REASONING' MODELS COULD'VE ARRIVED DECADES AGO

Academic institutions can still contribute by focusing on areas requiring less computing, such as model architecture design. The poor state of AI benchmarks is an area where academia can make a significant impact.
