It doesn’t need to be this way. It should not be this way. It should not be OpenAI/Anthropic deciding which fields get accelerated. To truly accelerate science and technology, self-accelerating AI R&D must be democratized. In fact, this is the exact motivation behind Mirendil.
We are looking for someone with high agency and product vision to help shape our first product from the ground up!
If you are excited about Mirendil’s vision (checkout our website), please apply/reach out. Referrals welcome.
I would also love to hear what you think we should build toward!
We are building a frontier lab to ensure scientific progress is no longer bottlenecked by the speed of AI R&D.

@textangel@elonmusk It was a great pleasure working with you, Andrew! It was an absolute great run, and I’m grateful for your hard work and all the wonderful moments we shared. Wishing you all the best!
Career update: I left xAI to start something new, closing my 7+ year chapter working at Twitter, X, and xAI with so much gratitude.
xAI is truly an extraordinary place. The team is incredibly hardcore and talented, shipping at a pace that shouldn’t be possible. From the Home Timeline at X to Grok 2, 3, and 4 at xAI, I worked across product infra and model behavior post-training, from memory to coding infra, agents, and more. Pure startup mode, every day.
Working closely with Elon across X and xAI, I saw what happens when you refuse to accept impossible as an answer. I learned to embody obsessive attention to detail, maniacal urgency, and to think from first principles.
I’m deeply grateful to @elonmusk for the experience, to @wanghaofei for the trust and support throughout Twitter/X, and to @TheGregYang and @ibab for believing in me. And to the many incredible people I had the privilege to work with along the way, thank you!
Now, I’m excited to take the leap and build something new, focused on accelerating science. More soon.
