Excited to share that I will be joining UCSD CSE as an assistant professor in January 2026! I'll be recruiting PhD students from the 2024 application pool - if you're interested in anything ML Sys/efficiency/etc please reach out & put my name on your application! Until then

.@Kimi_Moonshot benchmarked K3 endpoints across major inference providers. Together AI leads or ties for #1 on 3 of 4 benchmarks: OCRBench, MMMU Pro Vision, and DeepSWE. Open models like Kimi K3 have gotten genuinely good. Frontier-class good. Which makes serving them well

Samir Menon @blintzbase and I are thrilled to announce Sail @sailresearchco ! We build infrastructure for long-horizon agents: inference served at unbeatable prices-per-token for open models, plus sandboxes designed to run for days, weeks, or longer. We've raised $80M, w/ our
