Researcher at OpenAI
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarNick Cammarata is an interpretability researcher at OpenAI with 11 years of engineering and founding experience, focused on understanding neural networks under Christopher Olah. He co-founded Orbit (raising $1.75M from Founders Fund) and earlier built and exited education startup Tablo, demonstrating a pattern of shipping product-led ML and ed-tech innovations. Nick began building web applications and tools in his teens—founding Upload Robots at 14 and consulting for large companies—which seeded a rare blend of deep technical curiosity and real-world deployment experience. He occasionally angel-invests in early-stage startups and brings both operator instincts and research rigor to problems at the intersection of ML, systems, and human-facing products. An interesting through-line: he has repeatedly moved from product-building to deep technical research, applying startup pragmatism to interpretability challenges.
