“Think beyond boundaries”

Hi, I am Jiawei Gu, a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington, advised by Ranjay Krishna. I also work closely with Yejin Choi and Manling Li.

My research began with scaling language models as a foundation for intelligence. I now build on this by unifying modalities to teach models to think in words and images, and act in the world. My focus is scaling native multimodal reasoning, including understanding, world modeling, and embodied reasoning.
