My name is Ahmet. I'm a high school junior in Ankara, Turkiye. I am an aspiring researcher driven to push the boundaries of machine intelligence through impactful research.
I am passionate about developing intelligent systems that can solve real-world problems, advance scientific discovery, and deepen our understanding of complex systems and the nature of intelligence.
Some things I'm interested in:
- What should I be doing right now to be the person who creates the next frontier research lab (DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)?
- Model architecture, multi-agent systems, full-duplex speech models, quantum machine learning
- Pretraining at scale (even though never did :D)
- Mathematics
- Writing
I love people and write back. Send me a message! (twitter probably works the best)
