Nathan Lambert is the founder of a stealth AI lab and currently writing Interconnects AI, a well read technical newsletter on AI models and research. He was recently a Senior Research Scientist and post-training lead at the Allen Institute for AI focusing on building open language models like Olmo. He works to increase transparency and understanding of current AI models and systems by building the open ecosystem.
Previously, he helped build an RLHF research team at HuggingFace. He received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley working at the intersection of machine learning and robotics. He was advised by Professor Kristofer Pister in the Berkeley Autonomous Microsystems Lab and Roberto Calandra at Meta AI Research. He was lucky to intern at Facebook AI and DeepMind during his Ph.D. Nathan was awarded the UC Berkeley EECS Demetri Angelakos Memorial Achievement Award for Altruism for his efforts to better community norms.
