hey, i'm sarthak. 20 y/o cs undergrad into inference systems, high-performance computing, and distributed systems.
mostly obsessed with the machinery behind intelligence: how a pile of matmuls turns into useful behaviour, and how to make the systems around it fast, reliable, and efficient.
currently going deep on pretraining, post-training, and the systems around them.
this site is a log of things i'm learning, building, or overthinking. usually the latter.
