building ai for humans @humansand // was lgtm-ing @xAI, phd-ing @stanford
Joined April 2010
i've been thinking lately about how future ai systems will interact with us and how we can make systems that care about people and wanted to put words to it -- hopefully it resonates a bit!

Also happy to share that I've joined @humansand!! More details in the coming days, but I am SO excited to build AI to work with and be good for humans!

Mini ATG Gym Design + Knee & Lower Back Recipes That Have Been Wonderful For My Clients (Heads up: long article format) I measured off 200 square feet (10’ x 20’), including ample walking space, and polished off my own mini ATG. In fact, only 100 square feet of it is really

We've been running @radixark for a few months, started by many core developers in SGLang @lmsysorg and its extended ecosystem (slime @slime_framework , AReaL @jxwuyi). I left @xai in August — a place where I built deep emotions and countless beautiful memories. It was the best

There is beauty in growing your student into your collaborator. Sir Hardy to Ramanujan. Professor Ono to me. And now, a group of brightest mathematicians at Axiom @axiommathai to our AI. The Thue equations we worked with are on the board. Our paper was an instance of

reach out if you want to chat about humans& at neurips - a bunch of us are dropping by! 👋
we think humanity’s biggest challenges won’t be solved by ai thinking for 1000 hours coming back with an answer they’ll be solved by many collaborating humans, and ai that understands them and their different skills, goals, values, etc to empower them to do more together

No counselor knows your child like you do. So why would you let one promise to change something that can't be changed? Your child needs you.

Why do large companies progress slower than small ones? While a lot has been written about the cost of communication and collaboration in these companies, I think there is something else at play as well. It's not just that communication and collaboration costs rise per se, but

Miles is the RL framework we want to push for enterprise use. This story is just beginning. Lightweight, customizable, flexible, scalable, as always. ☺️
🚀 Introducing Miles — an enterprise-facing RL framework for large-scale MoE training & production, forked from slime. Slime is a lightweight, customizable RL framework that already powers real post-training pipelines and large MoE runs. Miles builds on slime but focuses on new

some folks and i are making something new if you're hopeful about AI empowering everyone if you've worked on multiturn, memory, model behavior, multiagent RL, user sim, AI interfaces/products, kernels, or dist systems if you want frontier-scale compute & top infra let's chat!

✨Masked Diffusion Language Models✨ are great for reasoning, but not just for the reasons you think! Fast parallel decoding? 🤔 Any-order decoding? 🤨 Plot twist: MDLMs offer A LOT MORE for inference and post-training! 🎢🧵

nice of them to invite a couple dropouts too 😊
Today, we’re overjoyed to have a 25th Anniversary Reunion of @stanfordnlp. So happy to see so many of our former students back at @Stanford. And thanks to @StanfordHAI for the venue!

thanks for the great conversations - awesome to see folks so excited about how we might build AI for humans! (pc to @ElizaKosoy)
That’s a wrap on Session 1 at #TEDAISF2025💥 We looked under the hood of intelligence, where computation powers the next wave of AI. 🧵 A recap 👇

If Prometheus could choose again, he would steal AI from the gods. It is the most profound innovation in history. Yet, unlike fire, the nature of AI is still ours to choose. Our best path forward is to center relationships – optimizing AI for interdependence. 🧵

arrivé! feel free to DM me if you want to chat (esp if you’re not usually in the sf bay area)
will also be in montreal friday at colm🦙 if you’re passionate about building ai that deeply understands and empowers people, say hi - you’re in better company than you think ☺️

had a lot of fun chatting with @saranormous about ai: how we ended up in the current task-centric paradigm, why it’s incomplete, and what a more human-centric paradigm will mean
New @NoPriorsPod w/ @ericzelikman (former Stanford/@xai) about his new startup: humans& we talk about training models with EQ that collaborative with humans to unlock their full potential, the challenge of understanding human objectives, long-term memory & his views on abundance

looking forward to seeing what carina builds and i’m hopeful this will empower human mathematicians too! :)
Today, I am launching @axiommathai At Axiom, we are building a self-improving superintelligent reasoner, starting with an AI mathematician.
