I’m currently working on a startup (Reka.ai) where I am co-founder and chief scientist. Reka is an AI research and product company that builds state-of-the-art multimodal language models.

Before founding Reka.ai, I spent a wonderful 3.3 years at Google Research & Google Brain where I made contributions to many industry-defining LLMs such as PaLM, UL2, Flan-2 and Bard and multimodal models such as PaLI-X and ViT-22B. Notably, I was also the co-lead of modeling on PaLM-2 and PaLM-2 API.

During my time as a research scientist at Google, most of my published work revolved around Transformers, especially pertaining to efficiency, scaling and architecture research.
