Kyu Song is an applied scientist with nine years of experience building and scaling multimodal AI systems, currently focused on high-throughput video generation at Mirage. He has led teams and research programs—from heading an 18-person AI group at MINDsLab to driving edge foundation model research and event detection with VLMs showcased at NVIDIA GTC. Kyu’s work spans speech synthesis, real-time multilingual talking-face generation (25 fps on consumer GPUs with a popular Hugging Face demo), and efficient diffusion models using distillation and pruning presented at ICCV and ECCV. He combines hands-on model engineering with product delivery, contributing to a company public listing and practical multimodal ID systems early in his career. Based in the NYC area with a KAIST background in Bio & Brain Engineering and CS, he also brings cross-disciplinary interests in synthetic biology and optogenetics hinted at in his GitHub bio. Known for marrying research rigor with production constraints, he excels at squeezing state-of-the-art models into real-world, resource-constrained deployments.
