Vincent Liu

I'm a cofounder at GSI, a startup focused on scaling physical intelligence grounded in real-world human data. More broadly, I think in concentric circles of systems, especially the outer ones: how hardware will change our interactions with AI, who will build it, and who will benefit from it.

I studied Mathematics at Stanford. As an undergraduate, I researched speech models at NVIDIA, worked on Andrej Karpathy's AI team at Tesla, and helped create Stanford's PhD GANs class. Later, I was a researcher at CSM (acquired by Google DeepMind in 2026), building 3D foundation models. In a past life, I trained as a concert pianist.
