I left Stability AI in late July 2024 to join a new stealth HW startup. I want to thank my former Stability AI colleagues for a year and a half filled with exciting challenges, discoveries and technical achievements. I wish them all the best.

Looking for an RL algorithm for your video diffusion model? Worried about reward hacking? DDRL might be what you are looking for. Give it a try.

🤔Want a principled way to RL your diffusion model? Check Data-regularized Reinforcement Learning (DDRL)! Post-train @nvidia #Cosmos World Foundation models with a million GPU hours! 🤯 Novel formulation ➡️ Theoretically integrates SFT into RL ➡️ Robust to Reward Hacking 🛑

I told my parents that I’d like to drop out of my cs phd program at Stanford a few months back. They didn’t let me, we’re asian :) So I graduated and started @moonlake_ai. @sharonal_lee and I saw urgency, and opportunities. Excited to share that we raised a 28 million dollar

We raised $28M seed from Threshold Ventures, AIX Ventures, and NVentures (Nvidia's venture capital arm) —alongside 10+ unicorn founders and top AI researchers— to build reasoning models that generate real-time simulations and games. Models are bottlenecked by practical

Hi, I'm now available for consulting or full-time. If your team is looking for a tech leader with lots of experience in Generative AI R&D, 3D, GPUs, etc -- or if you're looking for a CEO or CTO for a very early stage startup -- I might be your guy.

Today is my last day at @StabilityAI . It’s incredible how quickly the past year has flown by! I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented and inspiring colleagues. A special thank you to Christian @chrlaf for trusting me to lead the speech research

As a senior researcher who has both published in A* venues and has written toolkits himself and overseen the development of several others, it is humiliating to have to do leetcode grinding for a research scientist role in big tech. I have written more code than most people and I

@3scorciav Perhaps, but this blue place works already a lot better than mastodon ever did. I created the account a couple of months ago, and when I went back yesterday found 1000 new followers, and lots of discussions. Will now be active there. It's enough for me.

Europeans need to be frank: The "free world" will be led by a convicted felon & demagogue who doesn’t share our values but wants to destroy them. Liberal democracy is in peril. Is Europe prepared? No. Can it be & will we see real 🇪🇺 leadership we desperately need ? Hopefully!
