Lukas Wesemann, PhD

I'm co-founder of Base Compute, where we build the infrastructure to run AGI on-device. Before that, I researched nanotechnology to make AI faster, helped train Australia's first LLMs (Matilda and Maincoder), and led Asia Pacific's first live agentic payment transaction in collaboration with Mastercard. Outside the lab, I co-founded MLAI, Australia's largest AI startup community.
