I'm at LightOn, in Paris. I work on information retrieval, fine-tuning LLMs, and machine learning in general. I train state-of-the-art retrieval models, including DenseOn and LateOn. Rust when it needs to be fast, Python for everything else. Previously at ManoMano and Renault.
Some things I've built:
- β‘ fast-plaid & next-plaid β multi-vector search engines written in Rust; colgrep, semantic code search for terminals and coding agents, is available in next-plaid
- π§ͺ PyLate β training and retrieval for late interaction models (ColBERT, ColPali & friends)
- π knowledge β an online library for AI, which doubles as my personal search engine
- π cherche & neural-cherche β neural search pipelines
- π¦ LeNLP β NLP primitives in Rust, for Python
- π river β online machine learning in Python (contributor)
Welcoming contributions π
