Building towards Superintelligence
Defining quality standards and curating the training data. The work that decides what the model learns to value.
Hey there 👋
What models learn. How we know. What gives intelligence purpose.
I work on training data and evaluation at Meta. I write and build around world models, embodied intelligence, and the line between a useful tool and a mind.

/ about
I am Jesse He. I have been a commercial pilot, CPA, data engineer, and data scientist. Now I work on the training data and evaluations behind language and video models at Meta.
My work keeps leading me back to the same question: what would make a machine intelligent, not just useful?
I do not think prediction alone gets us there. Intelligence needs stakes. Something to fear. Something to long for. A world where action has consequences.
I write Decision Height to test that belief against the craft. Data. Evals. World models. Public experiments. I also share what I learned from taking the long way into AI.
/ reach out
Sometimes I help people and teams with hard, specific problems.
For teams: training data, evaluation, dataset diligence, and turning a vague concern into a test.
For people: making an unconventional move into serious AI work.
I keep this limited. Send me the decision you are trying to make and what you have already tried.

What I'm actually up to.
Writing
Decision Height, every week
AI strategy for people who build real things. Written from inside frontier labs, not from the sidelines.
Mentoring
1:1s for aspiring professionals in AI
A few mentorship slots a quarter. Mostly folks breaking into AI at senior levels or considering a pivot.

Plane Math — does the speed pay for itself?
An interactive cost-of-ownership model for the general-aviation fleet: set how you fly, compare any two aircraft, and find the planes nobody beats on both cost and speed.

/ the story
Flight decks, spreadsheets, frontier models. None of it was planned.
Pilot before college. CPA at 23. Uber during its most chaotic years. Berkeley MIDS while shipping Llama and MetaAI to billions. Now: Meta Superintelligence Lab.
