Work Experiences

DeepLeap

Areas of Focus: Custom LLMs, virtual worlds, and NPCs ("non-player characters").

  • DeepLeap's final framework is as a standalone project, loosely on the topic of autonomous, human-like AI entities and their interactions at scale in virtual worlds.
  • It is currently a "super-repo": encompassing several smaller proof-of-concept projects. An example is BotPlot, a world adventure game where users can "co-pilot" their AIs in customizable scenes and set heuristics for the bots to follow. Find all projects here.
