We're training state-of-the-art language models (~1e10 parameters) to search through webpages in response to natural language queries. As this approach scales, it will become dramatically more powerful than keyword search.
I grew up in NYC. Then studied CS and physics at Harvard, where I did ML research and led the robotics club. I then spent two years as a software engineer at the ML startup Cresta, while also writing a book about the history of civilization in my spare time. Realizing that the future of civilization depends greatly on the quality of information we consume, I left to start Metaphor with Alex.
I grew up at on UChicago's campus, and after I finished my high school's computer science curriculum, I took 10 classes at UChicago's Master's program before starting college at Columbia. My freshman summer, I did RL research at Uber AI Labs with hundreds of GPUs, and I presented our work at NeurIPS and GECCO the following year. I left Columbia a few weeks before graduation to found Metaphor.
