Theophile Gervet

I’m a research scientist at Mistral AI, working on accelerating AI open-source. I believe progress on language models as cultural technologies is currently our best lever on the rate of human progress. Come build with us!

Before that, I was doing an ML PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, working on computer vision and robotics with Katerina Fragkiadaki.

Even before that, I was working on reinforcement learning (RL) with Doina Precup and Joelle Pineau at McGill in Montreal. Early in my PhD, I worked on offline RL for education with Tom Mitchell. I took a couple of years of leave to build the ML product & team of Relyance AI.

I grew up in Paris, and my English accent has long been stuck at a local optimum. I like good food and wine, traveling, nature, and lifting weights while listening to cool science or philosophy.
