Chris Shi

Hi, I’m Chris Shi (also known as Hongyi Shi), an undergraduate studying math and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

This is a personal blog. I’m interested in infrastructure, biodefense, interpretability, automation.

I’m fascinated by the hardware of thinking. I’m currently researching mechanistic interpretability for in-context learning and pretraining. I’m also interested in optimal transport and high dimensional probability. For fun, I work on animating robots (like these).
