LLaVA coauthor and multimodal AI researcher whose work spans visual instruction tuning, vision-language evaluation and Grok model development.
Harness Engineering, Part 2 of 2: Evidence, Context, and Control
Part 2 follows coding agents from demonstrating a change to working inside an enterprise—and asks which harness investments will remain useful as models improve.
Harness Engineering: Delegating the Whole Development Loop — Part 1 of 2
Ryan Lopopolo’s experiment began with a constraint: write none of the code himself. Part 1 follows the resulting work on builds, observability, review, and Symphony’s agent orchestration—and the human attention those systems still require.
Harrison Chase
Creator of LangChain and co-founder of the company, Chase develops software for connecting language models to data, controlling agent execution and managing longer tasks.
Hassan El Mghari
Developer Experience leader at Together AI who builds open-source AI applications and teaches developers how to use models in working products.
Heather Kulik
MIT computational chemist combining quantum chemistry, machine learning, and experimental collaboration to discover molecules and materials.
Henry Mao
Builder of Smithery and co-founder of Jenni, with earlier research in generative neural networks and efficient language models.
High Taste Testers: Making AI Assistants Useful in Practice
A roundtable on local tools, fast decisions, human review and the permissions that shape everyday assistants.
Hiring AI Engineers for the Work Between Models and Users
Elicit’s approach combines software engineering, curiosity about model capabilities, and product judgment about when to recover, experiment, or report a failure.
How AI Moats Accumulate: Glean, Anthropic, and OpenRouter
From enterprise search to coding agents, durable advantages depend on integration work, product habits, research progress, and the judgment needed to use the results.
How Claude Plays Pokémon: Tools, Memory, and the Long Game
Pokémon exposes the gap between choosing a goal and reliably acting on it—and makes improvements in long-running agents visible.
How Computer-Use Agents See, Act and Recover
Ari Weinstein and Nikunj Handa explain the interface and API choices behind faster agents, and where their limits remain.
How Dyna Teaches Robots to Work Beyond a Demo
Jason Ma explains human-video pretraining, robot demonstrations, and the hardware and workflow decisions behind Dyna’s physical agents.
How NotebookLM Was Made
From asking questions of a textbook to generating two-person audio discussions, NotebookLM’s development joined model capability with editorial judgment—and a deliberately simple interface.
How Runway Turns Video Generation Into an Interactive World
Inside WorldPrompt, real-time diffusion, robot simulation, and the limits of predicting what happens next.
HuggingFace
An AI platform for sharing models, datasets and applications, with research spanning language, multimodality and robotics.
Hugo Laurençon
Researcher whose collaborative work on Idefics, WebSight and open training corpora examines how data, architecture and evaluation shape vision-language models.
Humanloop
Humanloop developed tools for prompt management, LLM evaluation and production observability before announcing its team's move to Anthropic in 2025.
Humanloop and the engineering of a feedback loop
From selecting wind-tunnel experiments to evaluating generative applications, Humanloop’s story follows a changing bottleneck: turning model behavior into evidence a team can act on.
Ian Livingstone
Keycard cofounder focused on task-scoped access, accountable delegation, and control over autonomous AI agents.
Ian Quigley
Leash Bio co-founder building the experimental data and cross-disciplinary teams behind models of protein–molecule interactions.
Ian Webster
Promptfoo co-founder whose work connects systematic LLM evaluation with application security and adversarial testing.
ICLR 2024, Part 1 of 4: Learning Representations, Compression, and Control
Part 1 follows the VAE retrospective, Würstchen’s compressed image generation, concept-based controls for diffusion, the compression argument for unsupervised learning, and the opening of Christian Szegedy’s adversarial-examples retrospective.
ICLR 2024, Part 1 of 5: Finding the Tasks Agents Still Cannot Do
Part 1 follows the path from rebuilding an NLP course after ChatGPT to web agents, social evaluation, code optimization and the compute constraints shaping academic research.
ICLR 2024, Part 2 of 4: Adversarial Examples, Transformer Workspace, and Long Context
Part 2 follows tiny image perturbations, tokens that provide working space, selective training data, and cheaper context extension—ending with the distinction between a larger window and the ability to use it.
ICLR 2024, Part 2 of 5: Compute, Context, and Benchmarks for Working Agents
Part 2 moves from the experiments academia can afford to run into SWE-Bench, contamination detection, and GAIA’s tests of everyday assistance.
ICLR 2024, Part 3 of 4: What Should a Model Remember?
Part 3 of 4 moves from the limits of longer context to synthetic-data selection, adaptive KV caches and distributed training, then follows Sasha Rush’s tutorial on recurrent models for language and diffusion.
ICLR 2024, Part 4 of 5: Verifiers, Safety Systems, and Agents
Part 4 follows stepwise reasoning feedback into deployment safety, browser automation, and multi-agent software development, then closes with the reversal curse: why learning a fact in one direction may not teach its reverse.
