About me

Hi, I’m Gabriel Ilharco. I work on large multimodal models at xAI. Previously, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Washington, where I was fortunate to be advised by Ali Farhadi and Hannaneh Hajishirzi. Prior to UW, I was an AI Resident at Google Research.

My research interests broadly include natural language processing and computer vision. I am particularity excited about large-scale multimodal models, transfer learning, distributional robustness, and data-centric machine learning. You can find more about my recent work from recent publications.
