Thomas Scialom
AI researcher whose work spans Llama post-training, learning from human preferences, tool-using language models and practical agent evaluation.
Thomas Sohmers
Positron AI co-founder focused on the economics of transformer inference, memory-system design, and shipping adaptable hardware before committing to custom silicon.
Thomas Wolf
Hugging Face co-founder and Chief Science Officer whose work spans open-source machine-learning tools and the question of how AI might produce new scientific knowledge.
Thor Schaeff
Developer relations engineer focused on AI audio, voice interfaces, and practical examples that help developers ship applications.
Thorsten Ball
Amp co-founder and co-creator, software engineer, and author who explains coding agents through working implementations and accounts of model-driven engineering decisions.
Tianqi Chen
Machine learning systems researcher behind XGBoost, Apache TVM and MLC-LLM, and co-creator of Apache MXNet.
Tim Dettmers
Researcher behind bitsandbytes and coauthor of QLoRA, whose work spans memory-efficient language models and open coding agents.
TinyStories: Making Language-Model Reasoning Small Enough to Study
Synthetic children’s stories make coherence, elementary reasoning and model internals accessible to small experiments. Which lessons transfer to larger models remains an open question.
tldraw
Steve Ruiz’s canvas company grew from digital ink and an open-source whiteboard into a developer SDK, an AI prototyping environment, and tools for agents to draw and script.
tldraw: How a whiteboard became an AI input device
Good-looking arrows, digital ink, and reusable canvas interactions led to a workspace for expressing intent—and revising what a model produces.
TNAI
Thursday Nights in AI is a San Francisco fireside-chat and interview series co-hosted by Outset Capital and Imbue, covering AI products, research, and engineering.
Together AI
An AI cloud company combining open-model research, inference, fine-tuning and customer-owned model development with distributed GPU infrastructure.
Together AI: Making Open Models Practical Across the Stack
Together connects data selection, model architecture and GPU systems to lower the cost of building and serving models. Its goal of 5,000 tokens per second reaches beyond faster chat.
Toran Bruce Richards
AutoGPT’s founder described using programming techniques from games to chain language-model predictions, and advocated open source as a way to broaden access to AI.
Training a 70B Model Means Debugging the Whole Stack
The engineering behind reliable clusters, predictable training runs, and evaluations that measure useful coding capabilities.
Training a Million-Token Context Window Is Only the Beginning
Gradient’s context-extension work combines positional scaling, distributed training and carefully constructed data. The harder test is whether a model can use the extra information.
Training IDEFICS: the engineering behind an open multimodal model
How Hugging Face’s M4 team connected pretrained models, built interleaved web data, debugged unstable attention and planned a smaller successor.
Training LLMs: From Compute Estimates to Working Clusters
How training budgets, numerical precision, memory and communication shape the practical work of running large language models.
Tri Dao
The FlashAttention and Mamba researcher designs machine-learning algorithms around GPU memory, parallel execution, and the cost of generating tokens.
Turbopuffer
A search infrastructure company built around object storage, with vector and full-text retrieval for AI applications.
TurboPuffer
A Canadian search company connecting large datasets to AI through vector and full-text retrieval built on object storage.
