Vladislav Bataev is an AI Scientist with a decade of experience building and shipping ML/DL systems for speech and language, currently working on LLM post-training and reasoning at Mistral AI. Previously he led teams at Yandex developing automatic dubbing, TTS improvements and voice cloning, and at Replika built a voice stack from scratch including production emotional TTS voices and ASR datasets. His background blends hands-on research and production optimization—he delivered a 20% RPS boost by tuning GPT inference with ONNX Runtime and Triton and has deep expertise in prosody and neural TTS from multiple roles at Tinkoff Bank. Trained at MIPT and Yandex School of Data Analysis, he combines strong academic foundations with practical experience moving research models into reliable, scalable products. An interesting thread through his career is repeatedly taking nascent speech research into production-ready systems, from acoustic training pipelines to large-scale inference optimizations.
