You asked, I deliver (2 weeks late).
A blogpost about what I did over the last 18 months to sign as a research engineer at a foundation model lab.

Today I signed with @MistralAI as a Research Engineer.
Hard to put into words how excited I am.

Haskell Day 30
Haskell and the real world.
Worked with IO Monads, DB connections and HTTP servers.

Maybe hybris, but once I know the codebase, I don’t think AI is a better programmer than I am…
Didn’t feel that way a year ago, despite the models getting better. Kinda nice

Let me create 13 oneline helpers and a 3 focused unit tests that the booleans are actually saved in the dataclass.
I’ll also reformat this file so the linter doesn’t have to.

codex writes the most digusting code
idk who's responsible for pre-training over there but you gotta flip the script

Why is it that instead of learning something monetizable I’m consistently drawn to studying Haskell, fluid dynamics , or shower thoughts of some old timey dudes?

I hate that claude switches to "automatically accept edits" when you allow it to do some bash ops.
Like why would i ever want this setting to silently change?

Universal approximation theorem ?
(Though it’s not pretty…)

Ironically, this paved my future career then.
The class was fun and I felt bad for not having given it an honest shot.
So a year or so later, i sat down to properly study it.
I liked it so much I ended up working at some small German AI co and now Mistral.

ML in Physics was an oral exam in my masters.
So, my lazy ass only grinded theory and then they pull up a laptop.
Couldn’t even code up an MLP. Worst grade I got in my masters (rightfully)

The PhD exams are different. At Stanford I had one of these. The topics were machine learning, graphical models, and convex optimization, broad to the point of meaninglessness and my committee was Andrew Ng, Daphne Koller, and Stephen Boyd, and it was an oral so they stare.

Now stop the procrastination and back to distributed training

After 8 months of a hiatus (perils of newfound employment), I've finally implemented closures and thus finished up my Rust implementation of @thorstenball MonkeyLang

Spring is great.
Unfriendly waiters are great.
TGV connections to anywhere are great.
Pastries are great.
Paris really grows on me.

Are ML researchers constantly sleep deprived because they're trying to submit all their jobs before they sleep

Introducing remote agents in Vibe and Mistral Medium 3.5. You can now launch remote agents in the cloud, including from the CLI or Le Chat. Plus, new Work mode in Le Chat for complex, multi-step tasks. 🧵

Coding agents not defaulting to them will probably friction-kill quite a few new dev-tools.
I really like JJ for vcs but even with system prompts and reminders they default back to git often
