    Karina Nguyen leads research at OpenAI, where she’s been pivotal in developing groundbreaking products like Canvas, Tasks, and the o1 language model. Before OpenAI, Karina was at Anthropic, where she led post-training and evaluation work for Claude 3 models, created a document upload feature with 100,000 context windows, and contributed to numerous other innovations. With experience as an engineer at the New York Times and as a designer at Dropbox and Square, Karina has a rare firsthand perspective on the cutting edge of AI and large language models. In our conversation, we discuss:
    • How OpenAI builds product
    • What people misunderstand about AI model training
    • Differences between how OpenAI and Anthropic operate
    • The role of synthetic data in model development
    • How to build trust between users and AI models
    • Why she moved from engineering to research
    • Much more
