Kunvar Thaman is a machine learning research engineer at Standard Intelligence in San Francisco. He studied at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani. His work focuses on training large-scale neural networks and mechanistic interpretability research — reverse-engineering the internal computations of neural networks to understand how they work. He co-authored "Benchmark Inflation: Revealing LLM Performance Gaps Using Retro-Holdouts," presented at ICML 2024, which introduces a methodology called retro-holdouts to measure how much public benchmark scores are inflated by training data contamination. He also participated in AI Safety Camp (AISC9) where his team applied mechanistic interpretability methods to study out-of-context learning in neural networks. He maintains a research site at mechinterp.com and writes at kunvarthaman.com.

Philippe Rivet

TeamIndividual
Individual

Philippe Rivet is a Canadian electrical engineer based in Toronto, Ontario, who has pursued applied technical AI alignment research. He received an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award during his undergraduate studies and later completed studies related to machine learning and AI safety, including coursework from Dan Hendryck's ML Safety program. His GitHub profile reflects interests in evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, interpretability, and AI alignment. He has described his path as a "costly attempt at AI safety research" and has since considered earning-to-give as an alternative contribution to effective altruism. He received a $10,000 grant in support of applied technical AI alignment research. He is active in the effective altruism community, having published a post on the EA Forum titled "The Highly Sensitive EA," and maintains interests in contemplative practice and philosophy.
