“Benchmarks, particularly external ones that are publicly available, have their utility, but they often have a lifespan of utility... I like to think the best kinds of benchmarks are ones where the initial scores are like 10% to 20% or 30% and then you can sort of work on [video]

From rewriting Google's search stack in the early 2000s to reviving sparse trillion-parameter models and co-designing TPUs with frontier ML research, Jeff Dean has quietly shaped nearly every layer of the modern AI stack. As Chief AI Scientist at Google and a driving force behind…
