Hi everyone, I’m Jen, an indie researcher with an applied math PhD.
I’m always curious to find other “grassroots” R&D teams or individuals who are also in the weeds, building foundational models or systems from first principles.
My current focus is on math reasoning and the “distributed chaos” 
of optimizers like Muon/FSDP.
Just wanted to put a signal out:
-
Are there other independent or small “grassroots” teams out there I should be following?
-
Who else here is deep-diving into math reasoning problems?
Always looking to connect with fellow trailblazers and see what hard problems everyone is tackling!
