Tim Dettmers is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and a Research Scientist at the Allen Institute for AI, and his research focuses on making foundation models, such as ChatGPT, accessible to researchers and practitioners by reducing their resource requirements. This involves developing novel compression and networking algorithms and building systems that allow for memory-efficient, fast, and cheap deep learning. He has won oral, spotlight, and best paper awards at conferences such as ICLR and NeurIPS. He created the bitsandbytes library for efficient deep learning, which is growing at 2.2 million installations per month, and received Google Open Source and PyTorch Foundation awards.
