1/ PhD, Big Tech, or founding a startup?
I've now done all three. And honestly, all three are incredibly worthwhile.
Here's what I learned from each, and how we're trying to combine the best of them in Aionic Labs. 🧵

Hey! I'm looking to join a high-velocity team in SF that works toward human flourishing and civilizational progress
Missions that excite me most: thoughtfully accelerating science with AI, making the transition to powerful AI go well, and scaling inner work
Short page on who I am and what I've done
In SF until Nov 6, grateful for any intros 🫶

Wild day for banners at the office. Happy neighbors @PalantirTech! 👋
Join us on the bright side (first floor)! #OpenScience
P.S. Nothing to do with the other banner. Just coincidental timing.

Was fun sharing the stage with @PascalBtd at AI+X, looking back at the early days of the @ETH_agent_lab and what we're building now with @aionic_labs and @seldon_tech.
Thanks @ETH_AI_Center, Sören Fehrmann and Swisscom Ventures for having us!

100+ people in Zurich for the @aionic_labs launch.
also launched: karaoke and our new caps. 🎤🧢
thanks to everyone helping us give AI a sense of time.
first of many. now, it’s time to build! 🚀
and yes, we’re hiring. (singing skills optional)

Introducing VGI-Bench: a multimodal, holistic benchmark probing 12 distinct visual and audio-visual skills.
550 human-curated questions, designed to mitigate the common mistakes in today's video benchmarks and expose pragmatic failures of state-of-the-art models.
Best model: 64.73%. Humans: 84.5%.

We are launching Aionic Labs (@aionic_labs). 🔥🚀
With support from SPRIN-D’s Next Frontier AI initiative, we are building a frontier AI company at the heart of Europe’s leading AI ecosystem.
Clinicians decide when a patient needs intervention. Factory teams catch machine problems before production stops. Operators determine which alarms demand action.
These are some of the most consequential decisions in the physical economy, and they all depend on time-series data.
We are developing Time-Series Language Models (TSLMs) that can understand these signals, reason over them, predict what comes next, and suggest actions in natural language.
TSLMs connect sensor data with language experts use to make critical decisions.
Europe is the right place to build this technology. We have world-class research, top technical talent, and decades of industrial expertise and data.
Our team brings together former founders, frontier tech experience, and world-class researchers from Stanford, Harvard, ETH Agentic Systems Lab (@ETH_agent_lab), ETH AI Center (@ETH_AI_Center) and CDTM (@cdtm_munich). We have built companies, developed technology at scale, and advanced research at the frontier of AI.
Over the coming months, we will:
→ Launch selected TSLM pilots across manufacturing, healthcare, energy, logistics, telecom, insurance, and banking.
→ Build an open research community around OpenTSLM (@OpenTSLM) and TimeNet.
→ Enable trusted data partnerships across industries.
→ Accelerate the Time-Series AI community in Zurich and Europe.
From Zurich. For Europe. 🇨🇭🇪🇺
Join our mission and help build a Frontier AI Lab from day one. Career and pilot program links are in the comments.
