mit ‘26, prev openai, prod

[Behnam Neyshabur @bneyshabur]

This is the glimpse @HarshMeh1a saw more than a year ago when he initiated & led the automated pre-training R&D project in Anthropic (@karpathy leads that project now). We left Anthropic to start Mirendil because we believe democratizing self-accelerating AI R&D is a bottleneck for accelerating science: Any lab trying to use AI in drug discovery, chemistry, biology, or robotics should have access to this technology in a safe manner.

If you are excited about Mirendil’s vision (checkout our website), please apply/reach out!

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.

At mlsys today and tomorrow. Would love to chat if you’re in town!

Stopped by their office last week. Awesome group.

[Tara Rezaei @tararezaeikh]

Lots of excitement around the product. Would be a special time to join the team.

[Behnam Neyshabur @bneyshabur]

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!

Whiteboarding is a critical skill to wallpaper R&D process🤝

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.

Enterprise wallpaper design doing well🤝

Career Update: I've left Anthropic to start something new.

Anthropic is a magical place — amazing people, strong culture, and unmatched taste. I have a lot of respect for my friends and ex-colleagues, and knowing them, I'm confident they'll do the right thing, especially when the choices are hard. I feel grateful and proud to have been part of the journey with them.

Excited to start a new chapter — stay tuned for more!

[Tara Rezaei @tararezaeikh]
