I'm Aditya Somasundaram, a graduate student at Columbia University. I'm interested in learning algorithms, building real intelligence, and making this affordable and accessible to the world. Someday, I hope to create Jarvis. I am currently advised by Prof. Micah Goldblum. I'm also an intern at Numenta's ML team where I work on proprietary algorithms to make training LLMs simultaneously faster, and cheaper.
🎉 My research showing how to pretrain Large Language Models (LLMs) with small batch sizes and simple SGD (without momentum) has been accepted as a poster at NeurIPS 2025! Find our manuscript here. Huge shout out to my mentor Prof. Micah Goldblum and my collaborators at the Wilson Lab at NYU Courant.
