One of the clearest anchors for understanding why scaling laws became such a central planning tool for frontier-model research and training strategy.
A high-signal researcher for understanding how post-training and behavioral steering become concrete product behavior rather than abstract alignment talk.
A strong person to follow for how Anthropic moved from assistant training into more explicit evaluation work around model behavior, red-teaming, and chain-of-thought faithfulness.
Worth following for the evaluation side of Anthropic’s alignment program, especially where model-written tests and public-input methods become practical tooling rather than just ideas.
One of the clearest people to follow if you care about scaling laws, training efficiency, and the systems choices that quietly shape frontier-model progress.
