caught the same rainbow from the @modal office — it was a sign of something special. I’m thrilled to run it back and build with @ekzhang1!
I’m back at @modal
Working at @thinkymachines was really something. I’ll miss my coworkers, and a lot has happened since I joined last year - all sorts of ML and production systems, witnessing what goes into a model, throwing new kernels at training and inference, scaling research infra, making interaction models fast and good, wrangling RL dynamics.
It was also my second job, so perhaps a formative experience. When I joined, I discovered I was the youngest at the company (like 60 people) and felt pretty out-of-place, surrounded by ex-OpenAI/Meta/GDM/Mistral folks. Anyway, the company reinvented itself many times, and I think with the recent model releases we can see it’s on a good path.
Thanks to @cHHillee for originally recruiting me to Thinky and my boss and various coworkers (whom I won’t dox) for teaching me very much
I saw this sunset rainbow the other day in NYC, and it’s the only time aside from July 4 I’ve seen everyone on the streets stop and stare at the sky for a bit, together. It was brief. This won’t last forever.
Anyway, hope to have more for you soon… much to build! The Modal team is very strong. I’m glad to be here.
weekend project: cure cancer
Skill issue.
New side projects: change legislation, robotics, hardware, new kernels, new data stores, rockets/drones, biology…
Old side projects: notes app, read it later app, marginally better coding tool, weather app, todo list app, camera app, hacker news app, voice dictation app…

abliterating dsv4.1 flash to build GLaDOS, purely for the love of the game
Back from @modal eng hackathon in Mohonk. My team built a Portal-themed AI escape room, all running on Modal. The twist: your AI helper, GLaDOS, Is secretly trying to phish you for more permissions.
60+ eng played and we won “For the Love of the Game” category. Check it out:
