hi! i'm guangyu chen, aka nathan

my life goal is to explore the potentialities of intelligence

i am currently working on ml research at kimi moonshot. prior to this, i worked on applied interpretability research at tilde.

research interests: model architecture, optimization, continual learning

here are some things i believe in:

• agency is a superpower
• taste is learnable
• write things down
• everything is figureoutable with friends
• the world is hackable in wholesome ways
• you'd probably love ssh config with named hosts

here are some things i like:

• mangoes, cold showers, trees, excalidraw, google docs, elegant kernels, asking llms first, mixing lego pieces, constrained geometric shapes, stargazing, snowboarding, meditation, learning from my sensei gemini (this didn't age well), green, intuitively understanding things, light mode, open source, cli, spicy food, blocks, "twitter" - the name, twitter's rec algo

things i don't like:

• twitter's rec algo, short convolution, nondeterministic patterns, fallback, clip (not the physical one), office tools

i love people and write back. send me a message! (email probably works the best)
