I'm an AI researcher based in San Francisco, California. I work at xAI on pretraining.

In research, I'm interested in human-level sample efficiency. In practice, I'm interested in actualizing intelligence in critical domains and the real economy. I believe both are closely related.

I've previously worked on:

• Learned representations in coupled dynamical systems at Johns Hopkins University and APL.
• Data-efficient architectures and multilingual post-training at Cohere Labs.
• Scaling predictive models for human simulation at Artificial Societies.
• Interactive collaborative education with GPT-2/3 at Google.

I was born in San Diego, California in the spring. In the limit of my lifetime, I wish to become a dense mosaic of ideas and experiences.
