Chollet: Current LLM Stack Can Fully Automate Any Formally Verifiable Domain
“And I think right now we're in this situation where any problem where the solutions you've proposed can be formally verified, and you can actually trust the reward signal. It's not just some guess made by a model. Any domain like this can be fully automated wi…”

Chollet: ARC-3 private test set differs substantially from public set
“We've deliberately tried to create a private set of environments that is significantly different from the public set. Like you can look at the public set. It's not actually giving you that much information about what's in the private set. In the private set, y…”

Chollet: ARC-4 will focus on continual learning and compounding levels
“So there will be ARC four, which will be in the spirit of ARC three, but more focused on continual learning and curriculum learning at longer timescales. So you're gonna have fewer games but they're gonna have way more levels. And the levels are going to be co…”

Chollet: RL Benchmarks Like Dota and Atari Test Memorization, Not Intelligence
“If you look at Atari games, for instance, or even Dota, you're training on, on the same environment as what you use for testing. So effectively, you're just trying to memorize the best strategies. You're trying to at training time, explore the full space of po…”

Chollet: Symbolic Models Will Eventually Replicate and Outperform Deep Learning
“And so everything you're doing with machine learning today, with parametric curves, we should be able to do it. With symbolic models in the future in a way that will be much, much closer to optimality. Much closer to optimality in the sense that you're going t…”

Chollet: AI built from first principles will be more efficient than human brains
“It's an implementation of fundamental principles, the fundamental principles of intelligence, which, you know, I think we can identify these principles and re-implement intelligence from scratch, from first principles, in a way it will be much more efficient t…”

Chollet: LLM Progress in Non-Verifiable Domains Will Slow or Stall
“Progress of reasoning models and base LLMs on this type of domain is, is, you know, it's going to be very slow because the stack we're using, like the LLM stack is very, very reliant on its trained data. It's basically just operationalizing the trained data. A…”

Chollet: Artificial General Intelligence Will Likely Arrive Around ARC-6 or ARC-7
“My timeline to AGI, you know, if you just try to extrapolate from the current rate of progress and the amount of investment that's going into, not just the LLM stack, but also like side ideas, side bets that might work out, like, you know, India, for instance,…”
