Summary
Ankit Jain is a senior research and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building production AI systems that learn, remember, and adapt to users, currently leading personalization and alignment efforts for LLMs at Meta toward a “Personal SuperIntelligence.” He has led large multimodal teams across voice, vision, safety, and inference, and previously shipped generative features on Instagram such as Imagine and AI Stickers using RLHF/DPO and RAG pipelines. Before Meta, he was a senior research scientist at Uber AI applying graph representation learning and time-series forecasting at scale, and co-founded a CV startup that was later acquired. Based in San Francisco, he combines deep academic training from IIT Bombay and UC Berkeley with hands-on deployment experience across PyTorch/TensorFlow, large-scale data platforms, and MLops. He also invests in and advises ML startups, bringing product-oriented technical guidance as well as operational know-how. A not-obvious detail: his background includes leading high-stakes field engineering operations early in his career, giving him atypical experience in operating complex systems under pressure.
