Hi! I’m Haoxing.
I am a proud effective altruist trying to help this whole AI thing go well.
I’m currently working on a new project on AI behavior evaluations, incubated at Surplus.
Please get in touch if you’d like to chat about this!
Most recently, I worked on predicting the weather with AI at a balloon startup called WindBorne.
Before that, I evaluated AI models for dangerous capabilities at METR, where we poked at the first AI agents before the term “AI agent” was invented.
I also did some research on neural network interpretability at Redwood Research.
Before AI captured my entire attention I wanted to become a theoretical physicist.
At Berkeley, I did research at the intersection of machine learning and physics in the amazing Nachman group.
Prior to Berkeley, I was fortunate to be part of the Perimeter Scholars International program, and had the privilege of spending the best college years possible at Harvey Mudd College.
If not for AI, I might have spent my career thinking about the foundations of quantum theory.
A few years ago, I wrote a couple of posts on quantum foundations, hoping to communicate some of my favorite recent advances to a wider audience, which you can find on this site.
When I’m not thinking about the above topics, I like to read, play video games, make music, fly my paraglider, and climb extremely casually.
I’m happily married to Kasey Markel, and we’re moving to San Francisco soon after a few years in East Bay.
We have signed the 🔸 10% Pledge.
