“If I do another startup, like I would like, I think at least some points I probably would have done better to be like heads down and execute on my vision for longer and like, kind of like go for the more ambitious thing, but that would take longer to sort of like prove value, which is definitely not the YC way.”

Corbitt: GRPO is likely a dead end due to parallel rollout constraints
“The big downside, the huge downside of GRPO, and I think actually the reason why GRPO actually is likely to be a dead end, and we probably will not be continue using it indefinitely. The fact that you need to have these parallel rollouts in order to train on i…”
Corbitt: Prompt optimization methods like JEPA failed OpenPipe's agent benchmarks
“It didn't work on the problems we tried it on. It just didn't. It got like a minor boost over the sort of like more naive prompt we had and was just like, it was like, okay, Just kind of like our naive prompt with our model gets maybe like 50% on this benchmar…”
Corbitt: Fine-tuning offers poor ROI for 90% of unconstrained use cases
“I would say for 90% of use cases where you aren't forced to a smaller model, then it's still not a good ROI, and you probably shouldn't invest in it today.”
Corbitt: 55-60% chance RL becomes the standard pattern for deploying scale agents
“I think that the chances that like everyone should be, or, you know, everyone who's deploying an agent at scale should be doing RL with it, either as part of sort of like a, you know, like pre-deployment or even like continuously as it's deployed, that that's …”
Corbitt: OpenPipe Beat Frontier Models Using a Qwen 32B Judge
“One of the results we published was we used Quen 2.5 14 B as the model we're training, and as the judge we used Quen 2.5 32 B, which is, like, Not, I mean, it's fine, but it's like not a, it's much worse than any frontier model. Right. And even with that combi…”
Corbitt: AI inference could be 10x larger if reliability issues are solved
“I think that there is today, like. 10 times as much AI inference that could exist than is existing right now, just Purely with projects that are like sitting in the proof of concept stage and have not been deployed because there's like huge bucket of those. An…”
