馃挕 My Take
Liang is quietly one of the most important figures in AI evaluation. Without HELM, we'd have no standardized way to compare LLMs. Together AI represents the thesis that open-source can compete with closed models, a bet that's increasingly looking right.
Key Influence
Created HELM benchmark, the standard for evaluating LLMs. Co-founded Together AI for open-source training.
