A reflection on how my personal AI usage has evolved from pasting error messages to full-blown life logging, and why I believe this trajectory — giving agents ever more context about your life — is how the future will unfold.
A summary of my personal opinions on world models in 2025, covering their current state, future prospects, and implications for embodied AI. Discusses 3D modeling approaches, data challenges, research directions, and the role of JEPA-style architectures in the evolution of world models.
Lecture notes and Cheat Sheet for Course: Algebra and Computation, which is a course offered to Freshman students at Yao Class.
This article introduces Titans, a novel architecture that as a meta in-context learner, learns to memorize at test time. Through designing a long-term memory module, and proposing three variants of Titans (MAC, MAG, MAL), the model achieves superior performance compared to Transformers and other baselines, especially in long-context tasks.
This is the first article in the Life Hacks Series. It covers how to manage your Python environment. Basically, it covers how to install packages, how to create a new environment, how to clone an environment, and how to pack an environment. A special mention is Conda-Pack, which really made my life a lot easier.
