Hey, I'm Johannes!
I'm an AI researcher and co-founder of Prime Intellect. Subjects I love to discuss to no end are decentralized AI, semi, energy abundance, definite techno-optimism, BCIs and many others - far too many for a currently normal lifespan, which is one of the reasons I'm also into longevity.
After reading the Scaling Hypothesis in 2020, I got extremely scaling-pilled and shifted my entire focus to LLMs. I joined Aleph Alpha over two years ago, helping build a novel, distributed training framework from scratch with state-of-the-art efficiency .
Following endlessly discussions on the latest AI research, traveling together to ICML, NeurIPS and more, @vincentweisser and I decided at end of 2023 to go all in on Prime Intellect to build our vision of an open and decentralized future of AI.
At Prime Intellect we are building the infrastructure for decentralized AI development at scale. We aggregate global compute and enable researchers to collaboratively train state-of-the-art models through distributed training across clusters .
We have recently raised a $5.5 million seed round from an awesome group of investors and angels, such as Clem from HuggingFace and Dylan Patel from SemiAnalysis.
We are hiring for Founding Engineers, Researchers and more, apply here.

Side Projects
InstructCode
A code generation model fine-tuned on human feedback to producer higher quality and less buggy code.
ActiveSegmentation
A Simulation Framework for Benchmarking Active Learning Strategies for 3D Medical Image Segmentation (Paper accepted for ICML)
VSCode Extension Code Snippet Generator
CoPilot-like VSCode Extension with the option to choose your preferred code generation model.
Space Browser

Lex Fridman Library
I became such a big fan of the Lex Fridman podcast that I created a website with all of the book recommendations of his guests, the site went viral and received 250k page views on the first day.
Podcast Book Recommendations Library
I built an NER model that can automatically detect book recommendations in podcast transcripts. It's completely open-source.
