Liam Fedus is co-founder of Periodic Labs. He co-created ChatGPT and led post-training as VP of research at OpenAI before leaving to start the company with Ekin Dogus Cubuk. He and Brendan discuss why ChatGPT nearly shipped as a meeting bot instead of a chat interface, why code had GitHub's built-in tests and science never did, why Periodic's first small lab left the team intelligence bottlenecked almost overnight, and how close he thinks we are to commercially viable fusion.

He and Brendan discuss why big law firms wanted the early product and startup lawyers didn't, the mistake of chasing custom models too early, why a partner's red lines are the closest thing legal work has to a unit test, and whether there will be more lawyers in five years.
