Psychology PhD at University of Toronto studying early visual pathways and perception. On the side I fine-tune, merge, and quantize open weight models.
Right now a lot of the heavier training still happens on rented cloud GPUs and the bills add up. My goal is to do the majority of my work locally on my own hardware.
If you find any of this helpful, feel free to support on Ko-fi as training is funded from my own pocket: https://ko-fi.com/djlougen
