About

Abhay most recently initiated the frontier AI initiative at Anduril to deploy and train frontier AI models for national security. Previously, he joined as one of the first AI hires at the company under CEO to invent Lattice for Mission Autonomy, and built large parts of Anduril’s command-and-control platform and infrastructure. He saw the company from less than 50 people to almost 10,000 and growing.

Before that, he was an AI researcher focusing on machine learning and machine learning systems research, and was going to do his PhD at the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science under the Catalyst machine learning and systems group. He has also worked on AI at places like Meta and Stanford.

In addition, Abhay is a seed investor in startups like Saronic, Mercor, Factory, and more, and has worked with firms like Greylock, Index, and Sequoia to deploy capital on their behalf.

Abhay wrote down his thoughts on startups in his Startup Principles, his piece on Sovereignty Gaps, and his piece on The AI Economy.
