We are excited to announce that Resolution (fka Sequent) has a $160M grant from Coefficient Giving (cG) to put rigorous alignment research on a (closer to) even footing with the frontier labs. We will use it to accelerate progress towards higher-confidence alignment, or to find evidence and obstacles showing why...
EDIT: We originally launched under the name Sequent. Read why we renamed to Resolution. Alignment is not on track Artificial superintelligence (ASI) may be developed in the next few years. It is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready on the same timeframe. At a minimum, the empirical...
We previously announced a forthcoming research journal for AI alignment. This cross-post from our blog describes our tentative plans for the features and policies of the journal, including experiments like reviewer compensation and reviewer abstracts. It is the first in a series of posts that will go on to discuss...
tl;dr We’re incubating an academic journal for AI alignment: rapid peer-review of foundational Alignment research that the current publication ecosystem underserves. Key bets: paid attributed review, reviewer-written synthesis abstracts, and targeted automation. Contact us if you’re interested in participating as an author, reviewer, or editor, or if you know someone...
> TLDR: We made substantial progress in 2024: > > * We published a series of papers that verify key predictions of Singular Learning Theory (SLT) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. > * We scaled key SLT-derived techniques to models with billions of parameters, eliminating our main concerns around...

Thanks to Echo Zhou and John Wentworth for feedback and suggestions. Some of these ideas were presented originally in a talk in...
