Sayak Paul

Hi there 👋 I am Sayak Paul (সায়ক পাল). I work on 🧨 diffusion models at Hugging Face. Know more about me from here. I maintain a Google Doc answering some FAQs at length. You can check it out here.

My external articles and other publishing engagements are listed here. Decks from my speaking engagements are listed here. A detailed account of the things that are not directly available from the top navbar (interviews, talks etc.) can be found here.

The structure of this website is inspired by Omar’s site.
