If You Can Think It,
I Can Make It
CS Graduate from IIT Indore. Building AI systems, training models, and building production-grade systems that scale.
Building at the Intersection of AI & Engineering
From research papers to production systems, I transform complex ideas into scalable solutions.
Yatharth Gupta is a Computer Science graduate from IIT Indore and an AI Infrastructure Engineer. He is known for his research on Diffusion Models and LLMs, including the development of SSD-1B (Segmind Stable Diffusion), a distilled version of Stable Diffusion XL with 2M+ downloads on HuggingFace. He also created SegMoE, a Mixture-of-Experts architecture for diffusion models. His expertise spans Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS infrastructure, and building scalable ML pipelines.
