If you're at @neuripsconf.bsky.social on Dec 6, don’t miss our panel session at @unireps.bsky.social with Ahmad Beirami, Sara Hooker and more to be announced! 🚀
Will be at NeurIPS Thu Dec 4 to Sun Dec 7, excited to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
If you are excited about AI engineering (orchestration, evals, and optimizing scaffolds), we are hiring!
On Saturday I’ll be on panels at the Reliable ML & UniReps workshops.
