JAYRUP NAKAWALA
--------------------------------------------------
Independent AI-safety researcher
I build and study systems where models act, decide,
and sometimes misbehave — usually the small ones,
because small models are all I can afford. You can train one
overnight, take it apart, and check whether what
you believe about it is actually true.
My taste in research:
- Small, testable experiments over big claims \
- Simple baselines that beat fancy methods \
- Things that shouldn't work but kind of do \
- Mistakes that are found and fixed, out in the open \
I write about all of it the same way I think about it:
from first principles, in plain words, so anyone can
follow along. If I can't explain something simply,
I don't understand it well enough yet.
I prefer tools that run locally, logs that can be
inspected, and experiments that fail loudly.
