Learning to Reason with LLMs
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in
generating coherent text and completing various natural language tasks.
Nevertheless, their ability to perform complex, general reasoning has
remained limited. In this talk, I will describe OpenAI's new o1 model, an
LLM trained via reinforcement learning to generate a hidden chain of
thought before its response. We have found that the performance of o1
consistently improves with more reinforcement learning compute and with
more inference compute. o1 surpasses previous state-of-the-art models in a
variety of benchmarks that require reasoning, including mathematics
competitions, programming contests, and advanced science question sets. I
will discuss the implications of scaling this paradigm even further.

*Noam Brown <https://noambrown.github.io/>* is a research scientist at
OpenAI investigating reasoning and multi-agent AI. He co-created Libratus
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libratus> and Pluribus
<https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/11/science/poker-robot-ai-artificial-intelligence.html>,
the first AIs to defeat top humans in two-player no-limit poker and
multiplayer no-limit poker, respectively, and Cicero, the first AI to
achieve human-level performance in the natural language strategy game
Diplomacy. He has received the Marvin Minsky Medal for Outstanding
Achievements in AI, was named one of *MIT Tech Review's 35 Innovators Under
35*, and his work on Pluribus was named by *Science* as one of the top 10
scientific breakthroughs of 2019. Noam received his Ph.D. *(CS)* from
Carnegie Mellon University.


*About the Lecture:  The Katayanagi Lectures recognize the best and the
brightest in the field of computer science and are presented by the School
of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in cooperation with the
Tokyo University of Technology (TUT). The lectures recognize both senior
and junior talent.  The series were established through a gift from
Japanese entrepreneur and education advocate, Mr. Koh Katayanagi, who
founded TUT and other technical institutions in Japan over many multiple
decades.*
