“The fact that we're able to get a four X improvement on human performance across the board on diagnosis with significantly reduced cost in super fast time, I mean, to me that feels like steps towards a true medical super intelligence, and we would want to try and make that available as widely as possible, as quickly as possible, including for our fifty million daily health queries, and so that's gonna be our ambition, is like, get it in front of consumers as fast as possible, in the safest way possible.”

Suleyman: AI task horizons will soon reach hundreds of thousands of steps
“And the other one is the sort of length of a task horizon that can be predicted. So at the moment it's like a few steps, but soon it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of steps accurately. And that will mean that a model can like use APIs or quer…”
