The wiki
A field guide to the people, organizations, and ideas in our reporting.
Chai Asawa
Engineer working on clinical decision support at Abridge, with earlier experience in enterprise search at Glean and robotics and AI research at Vicarious AI.
Chai Discovery
An AI molecular-design company whose work progressed from structure prediction to generative antibody design and pharmaceutical platform partnerships.
Chai Discovery: From Protein Prediction to Molecular Engineering
Designing an antibody means specifying where it should bind, what it should avoid, and how it should behave. Chai’s models and visual tools aim to make that process programmable, while experiments remain the test.
Chai Research
A consumer AI company connecting user-created characters with engagement research, crowdsourced model evaluation, and custom inference infrastructure.
Chai’s feedback loop: crowdsourced models, human preferences, and inference economics
From unwanted utility bots to social AI: how Chai lets users shape the experience, evaluates models in hours, and spends inference compute on selecting better replies.
Charles Packer
Letta co-founder and AI researcher whose collaborative work includes MemGPT’s memory management and sleep-time compute.
Charlie Snell
AI researcher whose collaborative work examines how language models use computation, acquire capabilities, and learn to complete user-specified tasks.
Chatbot Arena: What a Preference Leaderboard Measures
How community comparisons became a model benchmark—and what style, voter expertise, private testing and inference cost mean for its scores.
ChatGPT Work: Bringing the Coding Agent to Knowledge Work
Shared tools, persistent files and inspectable outputs extend Codex beyond software development. Making that useful requires helping people discover tasks, preserve context and distinguish activity from progress.
ChatGPT’s App Store Moment: From Conversation to Computation
A launch-day discussion moves from video editing and plugin distribution to personal assistants, context limits and the permissions models need to act.
Chelsea Finn
Stanford professor and Physical Intelligence cofounder working on robot learning, fast adaptation, and reliable general-purpose robots.
Chip Huyen
Writer and computer scientist focused on bringing AI into production, from machine learning systems design to foundation-model applications and agent evaluation.
Chris Lattner
Compiler and language engineer whose work on MLIR, TensorFlow infrastructure, and Modular connects AI programming with heterogeneous hardware.
Chris Manning
Stanford NLP researcher whose work spans statistical language processing, neural models, preference optimization, and action-conditioned world models.
Chris Ré
Stanford computer scientist whose collaborative work spans weak supervision, memory-efficient attention and GPU kernels, with recent arguments about how AI agents change systems programming.
Christian Szegedy
AI researcher whose collaborative work spans adversarial examples, Inception and Batch Normalization, and whose later research advocates machine-verifiable reasoning.
Christina Huang
OpenAI Platform Experience contributor who demonstrated AgentKit and explained its customer-informed approach to building, evaluating and deploying AI agents in 2025.
Ci Chu
Xaira Therapeutics’ Chief Discovery Officer leads the experimental biology and data generation behind its AI-driven discovery work.
Claude Code for Finance: From Information Gathering to Judgment — Part 1 of 3
AI can organize research without knowing what matters. Part 1 follows Doug O’Laughlin’s path into semiconductors, then explores coding agents for financial analysis, evaluation rubrics, context management and shared research infrastructure.
Clémentine Fourrier
AI researcher whose work at Hugging Face spans reproducible model evaluation, assistant benchmarks, and practical guidance on what benchmark results mean.
Cline
The company behind an open-source coding agent that grew from a VS Code extension into a shared runtime for editor, terminal and desktop workflows.
Cline’s bet: give the model context, keep the developer in control
How planning, visible execution, direct model access, and persistent task state shape an open-source coding agent.
CloudChef
An AI cooking company whose software-guided Palo Alto kitchen preceded its Zippy kitchen robotics platform.
CloudChef: Teaching a Robot to Cook One Recipe at a Time
CloudChef combines cooking-state perception, reusable robot skills and structured recipes to automate commercial kitchen work. Its single-demonstration promise depends on skills the robot already has.
CMU
Carnegie Mellon University’s AI work spans robotics, machine learning compilation, agent coordination and dedicated undergraduate education.
Code Interpreter, Part 2 of 3: The Missing Manual and the Self-Debugging Loop
Part 2 of 3 follows practitioners discovering useful capabilities, testing the limits of an isolated workspace, and explaining why code that runs and revises itself changes what they choose to build.
Code Interpreter, Part 3 of 3: Local Execution, File Workflows, and Exploratory Analysis
Part 3 of 3 examines missing charts in shared sessions, requests for local code execution, and a central tension in business analysis: how do you choose an upload before you know what data you need?
Code Interpreter: Run, Fail, Revise — Part 1 of 3
Part 1 follows the early beta from uploaded databases and iterative debugging to sandbox limits, interactive exports, and the distinction between files a program can execute and information a model has read.
Codeium
An AI coding company that evolved from GPU-serving infrastructure into editor extensions and the Windsurf IDE, whose product lineage continued at Cognition as Devin Desktop.
Codeium AI
The AI coding company that evolved from GPU infrastructure into cross-IDE assistants, Windsurf’s agentic editor, and the foundation for Devin Desktop.
