Aman Priyanshu builds security foundation models at Cisco Foundation AI, specializing in small, agentic-capable systems that deliver frontier-level performance at massive cost optimization. A Carnegie Mellon graduate, he oversees the full stack of agentic training, from RL post-training to environment building for cyber-capable models, using distributed training to hill-climb sub-10B models into frontier territory and replace 120B systems across Cisco's AI pipelines. His prior AI safety work (featured in The Register and SC Media) includes a 99.8% bypass of Meta's LLaMA-Guard. When it comes to small models doing big-model work, he's the guy. Outside of research, Aman enjoys making games.
