I used the Breakout List in my new grad recruiting (almost a decade ago!), so this feels very cool. DMs are open - we’ll share more soon and are hiring!

ex-@GoogleDeepMind gemini post-training. ex-@mercor.

now they're fixing ai agents in production, and the company has 2 followers: @Convergent_Dev

@OmkarSavant_ and @debnilsur turn production agent failures into evals, then fix them.

Much of my free time in the last five years (!) went to moments like this one. Still no words -- just grateful for all my students. They've given me so much more than I could ever give them.

SF has some of the country's smartest kids. They just need the opportunities to shine.
Your 2023 state champions, Win Neubarth and Eloise So. No words, only :')
