Hello! I am the sole founder of VANTA Research—a bootstrapped AI research project focused building safe and resilient AI models optimized for human-AI collaboration. All of our published work has been made open source thus far, and in roughly 2 months has garnered 60k+ downloads on Hugging Face and Ollama across original model families.

I have several goals with VANTA Research, but among the first major stops is building a large (400B+) open source foundational model from scratch. I love learning, asking hard questions, and a good mystery.

DMs are always open.
