Following Ilya Sutskever's departure from OpenAI, Masa AI has developed IlyaGPT, an AI chatbot that emulates the renowned AI researcher's expertise.
The project utilized Masa's Web Scraper to collect data from:
- Sutskever's Wikipedia page
- Summaries of his research papers
- Other publicly available content
The collected data was integrated with ChatGPT to create a specialized AI assistant capable of addressing complex AI-related queries.
