37          <p>I&#x27;ve gone beyond the point where I can reply to every email or request. To help process this information, I have strict rules for where different requests should go. </p>
38          <p><strong>I do read all of my personal emails, but I do not have time for some responses.</strong></p>
39          <p>I automatically check if emails are written with AI. AI written emails are automatically moved to trash.</p>
40          <p>Some guidelines to getting in touch:</p>
41          <ul role="list">
42            <li>For Ai2 projects, use [email protected] for OLMo questions and [email protected] for Tülu post-training questions.</li>
43            <li>All engagements with private companies that cannot share the materials publicly are consulting. I do these very rarely and they require a premium price. </li>
44            <li>Media should email me at [email protected].</li>
45            <li>All inquiries related to promotions or business operations of Interconnects.ai should go to [email protected].</li>
46            <li>My primary email is <strong>[email protected]</strong>. This is for direct communications. Emailing me press pitches? See above. </li>
47            <li>I have other email addresses. Using these incorrectly (e.g. found on the web randomly) will result in your message being ignored.</li>
48            <li>My phone number is intended to be private and any unsolicited contact there is considered spam.</li>
49          </ul>
50          <p>Other forms, from Twitter to Substack DMs are used randomly and do not have a promise of reading content. Email is my primary form of communication. </p>
51          <p><strong>Note on collaborations</strong>: Unfortunately due to the focused nature of my work, I add very few collaborations from external organizations. Feel free to propose it, but especially for cross-organizational collaborations they tend to be inefficient unless scoped in a manner than can be strongly separated and pursued in parallel.</p>

55            <p>Nathan Lambert is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Trillium Labs, a non-profit with the mission of fostering the open science of frontier AI, which currently focuses on building open post-training recipes, studying how models get their character, and understanding the open-weight model ecosystem. He also writes Interconnects AI, a well read technical newsletter on open models and AI research. He was recently a Senior Research Scientist and post-training lead at the Allen Institute for AI, where he co-led the team building open language models (Olmo 1, 2, and 3; Tülu 2 and 3). He works to increase transparency and understanding of current AI models and systems by building the open ecosystem.</p>
56            <p>Previously, he helped build an RLHF research team at HuggingFace. He received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley working at the intersection of machine learning and robotics. He was advised by Professor Kristofer Pister in the Berkeley Autonomous Microsystems Lab and Roberto Calandra at Meta AI Research. He was lucky to intern at Facebook AI and DeepMind during his Ph.D. Nathan was awarded the UC Berkeley EECS Demetri Angelakos Memorial Achievement Award for Altruism for his efforts to better community norms.</p>
