Y Combinator Startup Podcast · Jeff Dean: The 1% Rule for Building in AI · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

All right, should we get started, Jeff?

All right, Jeff, welcome.

And again, thank you so much for being here.

Especially, I just got a cold, and thank you for being here.

So, you built MapReduce, Bigtable, TensorFlow, the TPU, Gemini.

We could spend a whole hour on all the things you've done.

But what I love is that you're still making bold predictions in public.

Last year, yes,

Last year in May 2025 at AI Ascent, you said that AI is at the level of a junior engineer.

That was about a year ago.

How close are we to that prediction?

What did you underestimate from that prediction?

So give us another bold prediction.

What do you think is gonna be the 2027 edition?

Now let's go back to a little bit in history.

Way back in 2001, Google Search used to run on hard drives.

And you and Sanjay did the math and realized at some point the whole search index would finally fit in all of the RAM of all the computers you had running.

And you made that radical realization.

And you basically, in a few days with Sanjay, shipped in production a whole new search version that worked in RAM rather than hard drive.

And that was the thing that got Google to be so fast with Google searches.
