EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Here is my episode with Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind. We discuss:
- Why scaling is an artform
- Adding search, planning, & AlphaZero type training atop LLMs

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Dwarkesh Podcast, featuring Demis Hassabis and Dwarkesh Patel, Demis Hassabis — Scaling, superhuman AIs, AlphaZero atop LLMs, AlphaFold explores demis Hassabis explains path to AGI, scaling, safety, and Gemini Demis Hassabis outlines how large multimodal models plus planning/search (AlphaZero-style RL) are his likely recipe for AGI within the next decade, with current LLMs seen as “unreasonably effective” but still incomplete.
