Summer 2027
comma.ai
I'll be a datacenter intern at comma.ai this summer. They make openpilot, open-source driver assistance for 350+ car models, and they train everything in their own datacenter.

Culbertson
I build software and study Computer Engineering at Purdue.
You might see William on official stuff, but please call me Chase :)

SculptorAI
SculptorAI is a registered nonprofit AI research lab. I co-founded it and I'm the CEO, and we release our work as open source.
Our research covers diffusion language models, autonomous driving, and a few science problems, like predicting the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and forecasting how long an apple will keep. I trained and released the Ursa model family. More at sculptorai.org.
On the driving side there's TurnPilot, our fork of openpilot. We rebuilt Navigate on openpilot inside BeamNG.drive and wrote up what should carry over to a real car.
We also released Indra, a family of tiny, general weather models at 3 million and 1.5 million parameters, and the small one is a 6 MB file. We've only tested them at airports so far, and at 12 airports they'd never seen, their temperature error was 11.7% and 10.3% lower than the National Blend. Indra-3M also runs the forecast at weather.explodingcb.com.
Silk
I lead engineering at Silk, an AI shopping assistant. I shipped the iOS app and the Safari extension to the App Store. I build the web app and the backend too.
Barcode scanning, product scanning, and shopping lists, written in Swift on a Flask backend.
Project Andromeda
At Lakeside School, I co-founded an AI platform running on the school's own hardware. I built the backend for model routing, authentication, and usage analytics. About 600 people were on it by the time I left.
It runs on aiportal, the open-source chat platform I lead development on.
Google TPU Research Cloud
Google gave me TPU access through their research cloud. I used it to train a diffusion language model in JAX.
ChApp Store
Free apps I've made for Mac, Windows, and the web, including Mewp, TV Remote, and Termloft, all in an app store I built for them.
