Nathan Ranchin

I'm Nathan, a computer science student at EPFL currently working on controlled generation methods for LLMs in the data science lab under the supervision of Saibo Geng.

I’m particularly interested in local intelligence. Small, efficient models have the potential to revolutionize how we use our personal computers. However, this couldn’t be achieved with large models running on the cloud due to privacy and connectivity concerns. I’m currently working on a fully local system that leverages the power of LLMs on Apple’s hardware, specifically the Apple Neural Engine (ANE).

I am also passionate about research on novel ML architectures.
