I enjoy building scalable machine learning systems and advising startups on deploying new AI methods in real-world products.

Previously, I worked at Together AI and started my undergraduate studies at Caltech.

Selected Publications

    LoLCATs: On Low-Rank Linearizing of Large Language Models 2025

    Michael Zhang, Simran Arora, Rahul Chalamala , Benjamin Spector, Alan Wu, Krithik Ramesh, Aaryan Singhal, Christopher Ré

    ICLR

    LoLCATs (Low-rank Linear Conversion via Attention Transfer) converts softmax attention into linear attention using low-rank adaptation so open-source LLMs generate in linear time and constant memory without retraining from scratch.
