Context is the new weight.

I mainly work on post-training LLM agents. Low-latency control of what to remember, forget, and explore decides next-gen world-model-aware, self-improving AI. I work on continual learning, unlearning, memory management, task adaptation — at the agentic context (in-context RL, harness) and model level (distillation, finetuning).

what i work on
memory

Agentic Memory

Continual learning of AI agents — in-context learning, continual fine-tuning, and unlearning.

world model

World Model

In-context world models, adaptation to post-training task worlds, and adapting agents in evolving envs.

latency

Low-Latency AI

Efficient attention architectures, KV-cache compression, latent segmentation, and recurrent transformers.

safety

AI Safety

Synthetic data training, risks of multi-agent interaction, post-training guardrails, and AI behavioral study.
