Autonomous Research

I developed a tool for autonomous scientific and ML research. Released under AGPL. →Imbue Catalyst

More about it:

• Automating AI model research with evolution
• Autonomous theory discovery

LLM-Based Darwinian Optimization

I spearheaded the development of an LLM-based Darwinian optimizer with a team at Imbue. We achieved near-SoTA on ARC-AGI-2.

My Blog

I occasionally blog about AI at amongai.com.

Experimented with recurrent reasoning in attention models before it became cool. →Variable-Time Neural Computation.
