About Vishwadeep Balakrishnan

I'm an undergrad studying Computer Science, and I'm into AI research, writing software, and building awesome engineering projects.

My current area of research focuses on Applied AI and VLSI Design.

I also run Speculative Commons, a philanthropy organisation grounded in high-risk, high-reward giving, the idea that philanthropic impact follows a statistically fat-tailed distribution. Most interventions do little. A small number matters enormously. The goal is to find and help fund those before consensus.

I write Silicon Macro on Substack. A blog covering tech and listed tech companies, some global macro, and compute markets.
