[10/24, Grant] Secured a prestigious ARIA grant with Imperial College & Cambridge University.

I am deeply honored to receive a prestigious grant from the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) to develop a scalable and modular performance simulation framework for emerging AI models, systems, and hardware. This project will be co-led by Imperial (Aaron Zhao), Edinburgh (Luo Mai), and Cambridge (Robert Mullins), bringing together over 10 world-leading experts across the entire system stack. With this £4.5M funding, we will build a critical mass of talent and skills to incubate game-changing AI systems, enabling a 1000X improvement in AI’s efficiency.
