ARC and @aicrowdHQ are launching a ≥$100k contest for white-box estimation algorithms: given the weights of an MLP, the goal is to estimate the expected output of the network on Gaussian inputs. (Thread)
Can you estimate the average behavior of a neural network without running it? In ARC's latest paper, we address this question for wide randomly-initialized MLPs with Gaussian inputs. (Thread)
Although this doesn't fully preserve OpenAI's obligation to its nonprofit mission, I'm pleased to see a number of governance measures buried in the details here. These could act as meaningful guardrails, but only if further steps are taken. (Thread)
We completed our recapitalization.
The non-profit, the OpenAI Foundation, is now one of the best resourced philanthropies ever, with equity valued at ~$130B. It continues to control the OpenAI for-profit, which is now a public benefit corporation.
