Anshu is the founder and CEO of ThirdAI (pronounced third eye) , a cutting-edge startup carving scalable and sustainable AI. Instead of trying to make it more efficient by throwing huge amounts of computing power at it, Anshu wants to rethink the fundamentals of AI itself in an effort to make it cheaper and more widely used. ThirdAI builds hash-based processing algorithms that accelerate training and inference of neural networks. The technology is a result of 10 years of innovation in finding fundamental ways to make deep learning more efficient.

He's currently an associate professor of computer science at Rice University. Previously, he was Amazon Visiting Academic at AWS, and machine learning consultant at Blackstone. Anshu earned a PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University.
