Me with some friends during my 30th (it was finally time to update my about picture).

Hello! After graduating from Princeton with a degree in Computer Science, I became an EECS Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley at the RISELab. I dropped out to work at a startup, Sisu, where I was Head of ML. At Google, I worked in Google Research in Cerebra, and now I’m at Google DeepMind, as a lead for Gemini pretraining.

If you find any typos or incorrect information, I would really appreciate it if you let me know! Please fill in a GitHub issue form.

If you want to contact me for some other reason, or don’t have a GitHub account, then you can email me. It’s my full first name (Vlad is short for Vladimir), followed by my last name (Feinberg) at Gmail.
