Ex-OpenAI researcher Jerry Tworek launches Core Automation to build the most automated AI lab in the world

Former OpenAI researcher Jerry Tworek has launched Core Automation, a new AI lab focused on automating AI research.

The lab plans to use AI agents for research and develop new learning algorithms beyond standard pre-training and reinforcement learning.

It also aims to explore scalable model architectures and alternatives to today’s dominant transformer-based approach.

The launch reflects a broader shift toward rebuilding lab workflows and training systems around automation and new methods, not just bigger foundation models.
