CHERRY RESEARCH
about
Cherry Research is an independent project dedicated to learning about, with, and by computers. As artificial intelligence becomes more capable, interpretation and diffusion of the technology is essential to maximizing the good that it creates in the world. We focus on building accessible knowledge tools, conducting computer-assisted research, and working to understand the broader impacts of these systems. This comes from a belief that AI should be a collaborative, trusted partner to extend our abilities, not replace them.
SHOWCASE
Showcase collects the projects that have enough shape to share: tools, interfaces, and experiments built in public.
LAB NOTES
Lab Notes are short writeups on training, evaluation, architecture, and the slow business of figuring out what actually works.
