I work with models!

Hi! I usually go by Sirius on the Internet, though my real name is Akshat. I'm an 18 year old AI researcher, entrepreneur, and developer deeply passionate about generative AI.

My interests extend to robotics, hardware, blockchain, nuclear fusion, mixed reality, open-source, and open research.

I'm the founder and CEO of Mithril AI, an open-source AI R&D company dedicated to democratizing AI. Our goal is to be the 'Linux of AI' by making everything from model weights to data pipelines completely open and accessible to everyone.

I also founded OpenDeepLearning, a nonprofit offering free AI education for all, and Hackspace, a club for hackers building cool projects together.

Beyond tech, I enjoy reading books in diverse genres, and I'm also into music, creating AI-generated tracks with my band, One Ring.

Some things I believe:

• Anyone can learn anything on the internet (for free) if they’re truly passionate about it.
• The e/acc techno-optimist philosophy is the way forward. We should speed up technological progress, especially in developing AGI.
• Open source and open research are crucial. I believe AGI should be open source for everyone's benefit.
• AGI is more likely to help humans than harm them.
• We need more nuclear fusion plants for clean, sustainable energy. Fusion could meet our growing energy needs for building AGI.

If you're interested in collaborating on generative AI (or not), just DM me on Twitter. I'm always open to new ideas and projects!
