Lossfunk: the AI lab for independent researchers
Hi! I'm Paras, founder of Lossfunk. I'm a newly-minted AI researcher [my Google Scholar profile] and a builder [my GitHub profile]. Previously, I founded Wingify, bootstrapped it to $50mn ARR and then exited to a private equity group.
Now, with Lossfunk, I'm building an AI research lab for curious people and independent researchers.
Programs
- Initialize (for independent researchers): conduct AI research towards achieving a crazy or ambitious goal. Join our community, get GPU/resources for your project
- Residency (for curious minds): a 6 week, on-site, curiosity-led exploration into AI and related topics
Projects underway
- AI scientist: How science will be done if we (re)invented it today with AIs
- AI engineer: Can an AI system solve hard AI/ML engineering problems autonomously?
- IndiaML tracker: papers by Indian teams accepted in top AI/ML conferences
Join the team
