The workshop
Lab
Things I'm building in public as I climb the AI-infrastructure stack — a language model from scratch, the memory roofline verified on real hardware, a genome filter, a robot policy. Each project is the build terminus of a rung on the study ladder: study the layer, build the thing, document the thinking.
Building
Building
the-machine — MenFem's own agentic system
The orchestration harness that runs the whole operation — the "98% harness" thesis, built.
TypeScriptClaudeSkills / Workflows
Building
Live demoinference-bench — the memory roofline, verified
Reproduce the fast-inference math, then benchmark a real serving stack against it.
PythonvLLM / SGLangCUDA
Planned
Planned
nanolm — a language model from scratch
BPE tokenizer → Transformer → a real training run, built from the ground up.
PythonPyTorch
Planned
read-filter — the memory wall, in biology
A pre-alignment genome filter — and the data-movement it saves, measured.
C / C++Python
Planned
robot-policy — an embodied policy in sim
The ETH Robot Learning final project: imitation / RL, trained and documented.
