Jared Kaplan
AnthropicCo-founder and Chief Science Officer
Johns Hopkins UniversityAssociate Professor
Kaplan co-authored neural scaling laws, showing that model performance improves in predictable ways as computing power, data, and model size increase.[1] The result gave AI labs a practical way to forecast gains before expensive training runs and strongly influenced the development of frontier models.
