Mukund Shankar

M.S. Computer Science @ University of Maryland, graduating December 2026.

I work on language models, ML systems, and products. Recently:

  • building and operating Full Time Brief
  • researching long-form language generation and evaluation
  • exploring tool use, model confidence, recurrent reasoning, and robot learning

Selected work

  • Diagnosing Tool-Call Decision Making in Small Language Models
    SFT, DPO, CAI-style supervision, and representation probing for tool-use decisions.
    Code · Report

  • Confidence Probes for Language Models
    Predicting LLM correctness from hidden states and uncertainty signals across 424K examples and multiple model families.
    Code · Report

  • DexVision
    Exploring reusable manipulation skills with simulated dexterous hands and vision-based robot learning.
    Code

  • LoopFormer
    Early-stage experiments on recurrent transformer blocks and depth generalization.
    Code
