✨ I began my open-source journey with a merged PR to OpenAI’s GPT-OSS in May 2025, enabling vLLM Online Serve for OpenAI models.
Since then, I’ve been actively contributing to top-tier AI repositories under @hrithiksagar-tih, focusing on LLM/VLM Infrastructure, Multimodal AI, and Synthetic QA Generation.
