Grigory Sizov is a Staff Software Engineer in Machine Learning at Meta with nine years of experience optimizing large language model inference and other AI workloads on GPUs. He contributes to AITemplate and the PyTorch ecosystem (Core, TorchAudio, TorchRL), notably integrating WavLM into pytorch/audio with TorchScript and quantization tests and performance-focused refactors. His background spans industry and research—from delivering ML products and platforms at Bain to a PhD and postdoc in theoretical physics—giving him deep mathematical rigor paired with production engineering chops. Based in London, he combines low-level GPU performance tuning with high-level model integration, and is an active open-source maintainer and advocate for reproducible ML tooling. An unexpected thread through his career is applied physics research informing robust, numerically stable ML implementations.

Contributions summary:Grigory contributed significantly to the `pytorch/audio` repository by implementing and integrating the WavLM model. They added the `WavLMSelfAttention` class, factory functions, and WavLM model bundles, which involved adjusting existing components to be compatible. Furthermore, the user expanded HuggingFace integration tests and implemented TorchScript and quantization tests for the WavLM model. The user also refactored code to utilize `torch.nn.MultiheadAttention` (BetterTransformer) for improved performance and added HiFi GAN generator to prototypes.
