Meet my AI mentor who is building a ChatGPT competitor

In this video, I’m joined by my mentor, someone I’ve talked about so many times on this channel. He was my senior by two years at IIT Roorkee and has been a huge influence on my journey. He guided me when I was starting coding, helped me crack GSoC, and supported me during my early days as a developer.

He graduated from IIT Roorkee in 2016, went on to complete his master’s at NYU, where he wrote several AI research papers, worked at Meta, and later at Hugging Face. Now, he’s building Contextual AI, a company that has raised around $100 million in funding.

This conversation is truly special to me because I’m interacting with someone I deeply admire. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
