Two weeks ago I joined Meta / FAIR, and I couldn't be more excited about this new chapter. Meta is indeed the only place left that supports highly ambitious long-term oriented & fundamental research projects and has a strong commitment to open science and open source. (and has hundreds of thousands of H100s lying around)
In my short tenure here I've already met tons of super talented, ambitious and kind folks, and I'm blown away by all the futuristic tech being developed, as well as the sheer scale of Meta's operations.
I will be joining
@syhw & team to work on code generation. Codegen is obviously an important application domain, but it also provides a great setting for research on general methods for planning, search, reasoning, etc. Stay tuned!
