The Scaling Journey
Notes on training and serving models at scale — how they are built, how they run, and what happens when the workload is a world rather than a sentence.
I come at this from compilers and clusters as much as from models. Troiani is the from-scratch language-model family. The World Model Platform is the system that is supposed to run the rest. Writing is the front door.

- 02World ModelsPrediction, planning, and the workloads that justify the platform.
- 03AI InfraRooflines, clusters, serving, kernels. How any of this actually runs.
- 04MeAbout, CV, work, and the old Windows box.
