Graduated @ University of Washington; PM at Code Metal. Opinions are my own.

New business idea: an solution that fact-checks @YouTube and @Instagram ads. Took 10 seconds to learn this "California fig farm" is a 16-month-old Alibaba domain with no address, no phone, 256 one-star reviews. They ran these for weeks. That gap is somebody else's opportunity.

What gets lost when AI is used in code translation? AI translated code can compile successfully but still behave differently from the original. But in safety-critical environments, this behavioral gap is unacceptable - and can have serious consequences. Our latest research blog post explores how defining good type mappings can close that gap, and how Code Metal approaches the problem from a formal methods perspective.

Entropy is best handled by spreadsheets. Everyone hates it but humanity hasn’t yet found a better way yet. Soon…. hopefully

Love getting to connect with this research community. 5x the submissions we expected, from 74 institutions in 22 countries. Thank you to everyone who applied! ♥️ #AI #CodeModernization
Applications for the Code Metal Verified Code Translation Research Awards are now closed, and the research community did not disappoint! We received 5X as many submissions as we were anticipating, with applicants across 5 continents, 22 countries, and 74 institutions. The caliber of submissions and topics we received blew us away, across verified code translation, formal semantics, trustworthy optimization and hardware targeting, and so much more. Thank you to everyone who submitted, we cannot wait to dig into the incredible work these teams put forward. A proud day to be a part of this community! ♥️ Winners will be announced in December - stay tuned!

See the #CodeMetal platform in action. Self-driving cars use LiDAR to spot objects in real time. On NVIDIA's latest hardware, we found that a few pieces of custom GPU code were taking up about a fifth of the processing time. #NVIDIA #TensorRT #GPUOptimization #ADAS
In AI performance, most of the optimization effort goes to the model. But in a real product, the model is surrounded by supporting code that runs alongside it on every frame – often left exactly as it was first written, with inefficiencies that can slow the whole system down, use excessive compute, and drive up costs. We saw this in an open-source LiDAR perception pipeline running on @nvidia Thor hardware. Three custom CUDA kernels accounted for ~20% of GPU kernel time. We optimized them with Code Metal in less than a day. Full results coming soon 😎 Curious how a LiDAR scan turns into detected cars, pedestrians and cyclists?

Another great panel today at SPLASH/ISSTA in Oakland! Our Director of Formal Methods @laura_titolo will be speaking with peers from Meta, Amazon, Purdue University and more about the future of static analysis - where it's headed, emerging trends, and the key challenges being tackled. Full session details here 👉 ordnl.link/olUo3aI #SPLASH #ISSTA

Our research team is on a roll! Next week our Director of Formal Methods @laura_titolo will deliver a keynote at the 11th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Numerical and Symbolic Abstract Domains (NSAD 2026), co-located with SPLASH/ISSTA. Her talk, “Numerical Abstract Domains for Trustworthy Code Transpilation,” explores an important challenge for AI-driven code transformation: how do we ensure that numerical behavior is preserved when code moves across languages, compilers, and hardware? The keynote will connect decades of research in numerical abstract domains with LLM-based code transpilation, showing how static analysis can help assess and guide transformations while providing evidence that the resulting code meets its accuracy requirements. Hope to see you there! Full program here 👉️ ordnl.link/pSMorlD #SPLASH #ISSTA

The DoD and #OpenAI just did something #Anthropic couldn’t have pulled off on its own — they made a martyr out of it. Libertarians hate the overreach. Liberals hate the Trump angle. Real tailwind for Anthropic. Principles do pay off in business world, who knew?!

Modernization without guarantees isn't modernization — it's just risk transfer. Proud to be building the solution with #CodeMetal 🚀
