Cohere’s Ex-AI Lead Defies the Scaling Race
Why Cohere’s ex-AI research lead is betting against the scaling race AI companies are pouring billions into building massive data centers, some as large as Manhattan and consuming as much power as small cities. This relentless push stems from one belief — that more compute equals smarter AI. Yet not everyone agrees. A quiet rebellion is brewing, and why Cohere’s ex-AI research lead is betting against the scaling race is now one of the most talked-about shifts in the AI world. Image Credits:Chris Behroozian Sara Hooker, former VP of AI Research at Cohere and Google Brain alumna, believes the era of endless scaling is hitting its limits. Her new startup, Adaption Labs , challenges the notion that simply throwing more GPUs at large language models will yield the next leap in intelligence. Breaking away from the scaling dogma Hooker and co-founder Sudip Roy, another Cohere and Google veteran, are steering Adaption Labs toward a different frontier — building AI that learns and adapts continuousl…
