Hobbies & Interests
Competitive activities and personal interests outside of research.
The Model Report
In my free time, I write The Model Report, a small blog about AI developments. I believe it's important for people to stay informed about AI since it's arguably the most transformative technology of our time.
The blog aims to make AI news accessible without excessive technical jargon, covering new models, tools, and breakthroughs in a digestible format.
