Hi, I’m Fabrizio Milo, a senior AI/ML engineer, large-scale systems architect, and former technical co-founder. I’ve spent my career building production AI, ML infrastructure, and high-scale backend systems across startups and growth-stage companies.
Most recently, I’ve been building AI platforms for LLM training and fine-tuning, RAG databases, local and remote LLM inference, semantic retrieval, and agentic orchestration for business intelligence and code generation. I’ve also contributed to open source ML projects including GPT-Neo, TensorFlow and published research on synthetic data from LLMs.
Previously, I was VP of Technology at ZELIG, where I led the virtual try-on AI research roadmap and managed a cross-functional team building ML/3D systems for fashion retail. Before that, I was Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Recurrency, where I hired and led a 6-person ML/platform team and shipped demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and recommendation systems on AWS/Snowflake/SageMaker. I also co-founded Passio, where I built the technical foundation for an on-device Nutrition-AI SDK with real-time computer vision inference.
Earlier in my career, I built scalable systems at TheRealReal and Scopely, optimized CUDA kernels at NVIDIA, and worked on real-time market-data and high-performance systems. I’m strongest where AI research, production engineering, and startup execution meet: taking ambiguous technical/product goals and turning them into shipped systems, teams, and infrastructure.
I can architect and build anything you need given enough compute and time.
I am fascinated by this example of using AI to improve AI. I won a small prize using this technique on helion kernels at a pytorch hackathon in SF.
The next step are:
- give the agent the whole deep learning literature research and do tree search over the various ideas that have been proposed in the past.
- have some distributed notepad that any of these agents can read and improve upon.
Was thinking the same thing. probably once a day would be more than enough.
if you really want a minute by minute probably a delta file from the previous day should be more than enough.
Very impressive work from Waymo. The driving with a tornado in the horizon example kind of struck my imagination, many people actually panic in such scenarios. I wonder though the compute requirements to run these simulations and producing so many data points.
Yeah I totally agree, we need time to completion of each step and the number of steps, sizes of prompts, number of tools, ... and better visualization of each run and break down based on the difficulty of the task
I was just reflecting on this blog post after reading it this morning. What do you think on code mode after implementing it? At this point would not be better to just have a sandboxed api environment with customizable api/tools endpoints? basically an RL environment :)
one axis that is missing from the discussion is how fast they are improving. We need ~35 years to get a senior software engineer (from birth to education to experience). These things are not even 3.5 years old. I am very interested in this space, if you are too dm me on X:@fabmilo I am in SF.
I like zotero, I started vibe coding some integration for my workflow, the project is a bit clunky to build and iterate the development specially with gemini & claude. But I think that is the direction to take instead of reinvent from scratch something
for the curious: Trafilatura means "extrusion" in Italian.
| This method creates a porous surface that distinguishes pasta trafilata for its extraordinary way of holding the sauce. search maccheroni trafilati vs maccheroni lisci :)
The interesting delta here is that this proves that we can distribute the training and get a functioning model. The scaling factor is way bigger than datacenters
Technologies: Python, Go, TypeScript, PyTorch
