Interview

Tony Siu, founder of C.O.D.E, was recently featured in the International Business Times for his work in AI research and community building. The article explores Tony’s long-term approach to developing impactful AI systems, combining academic research in multimodal generative systems and optimization with hands-on community work through C.O.D.E. “Many meaningful movements come from accumulating small, deliberate steps. You don’t need to solve everything at once to move somewhere worthwhile.” The piece highlights how Tony’s philosophy of incremental progress shapes both his technical research and his approach to building developer communities.
