Honoured that our 2016 paper, Robust Estimators in High Dimensions without the Computational Intractability, w/ Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel Kane, Jerry Li, Ankur Moitra, Alistair Stewart, was awarded the 2026 Gödel Prize
This is the highest award for papers in theoretical CS. 1/7
These days if someone ships a PR slowly my prior is "wow they must really have put some thought into the design and testing of this code" vs zero-shotting it with claude or codex...now a 10x engineer = 10x quality not 10x output
Had a fantastic time sitting down with @haslindatv from @BloombergTV at the @jpmorgan Global Summit before my panel.
We packed a lot into 6 minutes, diving into the momentum at our startup and our progress hiring top researchers and customers (actually the hiring number is already out of date). Watch it here! https://t.co/Jqnq7krQ4S
I am honoured (and still a bit stunned) to receive the 2026 Presburger Award from @eatcs_secretary.
This recognizes 1 or 2 young scientists for outstanding contributions in theoretical CS
This honour is shared w my collaborators, students, institutions, & research community 1/7
We’re excited to be at ICLR this year!
We’re celebrating the research community with our friends at @ElorianAI, @GeneralCatalyst, and @DeltaInstitutes this Saturday evening. Come for conversations on the frontier of multimodal reasoning, the AI startup landscape, and to hang out with other researchers! https://t.co/Zzj9VyJ4CZ
ICLR friends heading to Rio, save Saturday evening!!🇧🇷
Dinner + drinks to celebrate the research community, hosted by @ElorianAI , @strikervp , @GeneralCatalyst, and @DeltaInstitutes. If you're interested in the frontier of multimodal and meeting other amazing researchers, this is a must come
1/ Announcing @ElorianAI:
Together with an incredible team of researchers including @AndrewDai@yinfeiy we're building AI that natively understands the visual world — not by translating images into text, but by reasoning through them directly.

Excited to announce our seed round in @ElorianAI, with incredible founders @AndrewDai and @yinfeiy, alongside our friends @strikervp@MenloVentures
Elorian is a research and product lab building visual AGI
I sat down with Andrew to discuss his vision

Very excited to share Elorian's $55M seed round, co-led by @strikervp alongside @MenloVentures and @altcap with other amazing partners like @nvidia and @JeffDean as they pave the path in multimodal reasoning 🧵
