Misha Laskin

I'm a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind where I work on developing generally intelligent agents. I'm currently working on the Gemini (opens in a new tab) project and am interested in how RL can unlock new capabilities in large language and multi-modal models. Previously I was a postdoc at UC Berkeley, founder of a Y Combinator-backed startup, and a theoretical physics PhD at UChicago.

I sometimes write here and on Twitter @MishaLaskin (opens in a new tab).
