LLMs and ML systems from scratch, measured rather than assumed.
- co-founder of EXCAR, an in-car voice AI running on real devices
- scratchbench: from-scratch neural nets, benchmarked on real hardware
- handmade-llm: a language model built and trained end to end in plain Python, no frameworks
- upstream fixes across the ML open-source ecosystem, every bug proven with a reproducible test
I care about high-performance computing: arithmetic intensity, memory bandwidth, and why the profiler disagrees with the paper.
