ML engineer MLBear2 announced he has officially joined Sakana AI as a full-time employee. He had worked with the company since last March on a three-days-a-week contractor arrangement, and is now fully committing as a regular employee.
He says he'll attend more events as a Sakana AI staff member, starting with the Kansai Kaggler meetup next week — a small signal of the company's ongoing team expansion.
