I was born in San Diego and moved around the bay before finding a home in Fremont, California. I like living here; the town offers a community but leaves you alone with your thoughts enough to be your own person. I do not think I have become the person I want to be yet. I enjoy the proximity to San Francisco and Palo Alto, as well as the culture, food, and history of the area. There is something intoxicating about the acceleration of technology here and it makes me very excited for what the future holds.
I spend my most of time building Aesara, working on information machines and chasing AGI. For the summer, I am working on Engineering at Artificial Societies in London, building Artificial Collective Intelligence.
I split my free time on research at Cohere Labs on multilingual language models, leading Celeritas Research for bootstrapped scaled autonomous racing, and building products at Lipsti.cc to make the internet pop again. I also did some contract work earlier this year at Clado (fka. Linkd), building out a beta of their search and discovery infrastructure from scratch.
Before that, I founded Silicon Valley Brain Company, where we worked on neuromodulation to make you superhuman, backed by Google AI. Our hypothesis was that it should be possible to manufacture focus by leveraging deep neural networks to stimulate specific neural cortexes. We spent some time on open research as well.
Previously, I worked as an apprentice at Google, where I built AI-enabled discussion over Google Classroom, and did research at a stealth startup, where I worked on infinite context length in constant time for language models.
For fun, I love to help organize events and competitions. I like to lift heavy weights, read, travel, and talk to people much smarter than me. I absolutely love building side projects (see below).
I use(d to use) X as a log for new things I work on. Reach me there, on LinkedIn, or at [email protected]. I prefer email.
The most advanced open-source matching engine for financial trading systems. Supports more trading scenarios than some production systems and includes a client library.
github.com/bxptr/plutus
A collection of AI agents built from scratch for a set of popular high school AP textbooks, with infrastructure and MLOps from scratch. 1,000+ students and 24,000+ queries/month in ~1.5 months solely from word of mouth.
book.lipsti.cc
Yet Another Vector Store. The only vector database that enables efficient insertion and retrieval cross-platform, within the browser with Web Assembly and locally with Python bindings.
github.com/bxptr/yavs
Agentic AI search for the masses. Uses a tree-based search algorithm alongside open-source LLMs for the fastest deep research system available, for everything from hard questions to vast topics.
openvector.xyz
Systematic and automated AI-based summaries and analysis of Board of Supervisors meetings from counties (currently only San Francisco County). Aims to distill and disseminate policies and legislation.
imperium.aarushgupta.com
A Chrome extension with the best machine learning models to emulate human typing to bypass revision checkers. Aquired a dataset and trained a robust and parameter-efficient model with customizable WPM.
ghost.lipsti.cc
The most advanced GPT humanizer. Scientifically ensures text to bypass AI detectors (by working with probability and statistical theory) and outscores all major AI humanizers on detectors like GPTZero.
vita.lipsti.cc
A fine-tuned LLaMA 3.3 over transcriptions of LeBron's various interviews and press conferences. Performs surprisingly good and drops a few gems now and then.
legpt.lipsti.cc
A collaborative work platform and forum over Google Classroom. Supported all basic features alongside AI generated summaries over discussions and a grounded chatbot. Built at Google in summer 2023.
classfra.me
A simple machine learning library to train neural networks in the browser. Made primarily as a joke to show that you can train a neural network in Firefox and still consume less memory than having more than a couple tabs open in Chrome.
github.com/bxptr/candle
A production-ready middleware for Flask with common security and performance features. Includes JWT, mTLS, rate limiting, etc. and covers most attack vectors with an ergonomic API.
github.com/bxptr/murus
A mini vector database implementation for educational purposes. Sub-linear time complexity on searches and locality-sensitive hashing for storage — fun and performant.
github.com/bxptr/vektor
A language-dependent operating system in Rust, built to be the easiest system to add new architectures to. Implements all modern features expected from a stable system.
github.com/bxptr/sanity
A really efficient, conservative mark-and-sweep garbage collector for C. Realistically, not for optimizing software but more so for beginners to learn the language.
github.com/bxptr/oscar
An AI-powered link management system, based on embedding LLM generated summaries for webpages that are uploaded through a custom Safari shortcut.
