Chief of Staff

At Tilde Research, our mission is to build moonshot, applied interpretability solutions. We believe that by fundamentally understanding models, we can unlock paradigm shifts in throughput, performance, and safety. Our approach is to innovate across the entire stack, from uncovering the fundamental building blocks of model computation to enabling the precise steering of their behavior. We are driven by the conviction that true progress in interpretability will allow us to make AI more reliable and capable.
