Hao Cui

Hi, I'm Hao! My online handles tend to follow the regex /hao[\.-]?cuii/. I'm a high school senior in Vancouver, BC. I'm currently interested in AI interpretability and safety, understanding the black-boxy nature of models to make AI safer to use.

I was a software engineer intern at Magic Hour (YC W24), working on high-speed image and video generation. I am also the CTO and founding member of Smashspeed, an AI badminton tracker that has passed 50,000 downloads across more than 100 countries. Before that I built ball tracking and autonomous systems for Furious Frogs, a community FTC robotics team ranked first in Canada.

Things that make me happy (in alphabetical order): badminton, basketball, books, Brawl Stars, cats, family, friends, movies, piano, Pokémon, seven, sushi, volleyball
