Antony Alloin, Software Engineer
GoodAI
Antony Alloin is a Software Engineer at GoodAI, where he works on Charlie Mnemonic, a continual learning agent designed to address the limitations of memory in large language models. His fascination with AI, robots, and automation has been a lifelong journey, beginning with hobby coding and freelancing on projects ranging from apps to games.
Antony joined GoodAI a year ago, driven by his passion for creating intelligent systems that can learn and adapt over time. His work focuses on pushing the boundaries of what LLM's/AI systems can achieve, ensuring that Charlie Mnemonic continually evolves and improves.
Originally from Belgium, Antony loves to tinker with electronics in his free time, often creating robots and small gadgets. When he's not immersed in his engineering projects, he enjoys gaming, particularly playing Space Engineers and Valorant.
Originally, I started working at the company as an AI researcher in 2015. Over the years, I had the opportunity to work on some pretty exciting projects both on basic research and sometimes applied AI. I always liked AI and robotics, so once there was the idea to start working with AI and drones, I knew I wanted to be part of it. Currently, I am working in a small team, where we are looking into opportunities to combine drones, swarm intelligence and state-of-the art AI into some unique products.
When there is a time, I like riding my bike, flying FPV quadcopters, model airplanes, 3D printing, and similar things. But most importantly, I have my wife and two amazing daughters, so I like to spend my time with them.
Martin is a Tech Lead/ Game Producer for the title AI People. Martin joined GoodAI as a research scientist and programmer in 2015 and has been working on various research and applied projects since then. On numerous occasions he led internal teams, for instance he was one of the team leads for a state-of-the-art sound analysis application for an industry customer. Together with his colleague Jan Feyereisl, he worked as a research manager, coordinating the team's research efforts. In 2023 Martin joined the AI People project and has been leading it since towards the release and beyond.
Outside of work Martin loves to spend time with his family and likes a good physical effort - his favorite hobby is climbing, both indoors and outdoors; his favorite type of rock is Czech sandstone. Add a bit of mountaineering here and there with friends or family and what more is there to wish for?
Presentation
GoodAI started as a research and development initiative inside Keen Software House in January 2014, when CEO Marek Rosa invested $10M USD into the project.
At Good AI we are focused on 3 areas
- Research of AGI
- Applied AI & Robotics
- AI Game development
Our long-term goal is to build general artificial intelligence that will automate cognitive processes in science, technology, business, and other fields. We conduct our own research, advocate fundamental AI research at the EU governmental level, and forge a community of like-minded groups through the GoodAI Grants program.
GoodAI is a company with around 30 talented people working all across the world.
GoodAI stands apart from other AI companies because of our roadmap, framework, and big-picture view. We pursue general AI with a long-term, 10+ year vision, and remain dedicated to this goal. We will not be distracted by narrow AI approaches or short-term commercialization, though we are certain to find useful applications for our general AI technology along the way.
Our roadmap, framework, and experimental implementations are at a very early stage and should be taken as works in progress. We are focused on the gradual accumulation of skills and recursive self-improvement. We do research in growing network topologies and modular networks and train and teach our AI in our School for AI.
At GoodAI, we want to create a positive future for everyone. Developing general AI will be the most helpful thing in human history, and we want to help make this dream come true.
