Hi 🤝 I am Rahul, I am currently a grad student at Stanford🌲 and an intern at NVIDIA Research working on reasoning and post-training for Nemotron LLMs. Before this I worked as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research with Yashoteja Prabhu & Manik Verma on Transformer Compression & Extreme Classification. My current interests are in RL+LLMs (Understanding how/if LLMs reason) and Robotics (You can have super intelligence in a box for 20$/month but it wouldn't meaningfully change the world unless you can give it a physical body). Currently, I am working at the Scaling Intelligence Lab at Stanford on LLMs and at the ILIAD group on robotics.

In the future I look forward to getting replaced by AGI and work as a Wallace design protein farmer.

In my previous life, I completed my undergrad in CS from BITS Pilani & worked at VAL (IISc) on Capsule Networks for my undergrad thesis. For more details, check my CV
