Nathan Lambert Contact & Media

I've gone beyond the point where I can reply to every email or request. To help process this information, I have strict rules for where different requests should go.

I do read all of my personal emails, but I do not have time for some responses.

Some guidelines to getting in touch:

• For Ai2 projects, use olmo@allenai.org for OLMo questions and tulu@allenai.org for Tülu post-training questions.
• All engagements with private companies that cannot share the materials publicly are consulting. I do these very rarely and they require a premium price.
• Media should either email me at nathan+press@natolambert.com or press@allenai.org and mention me.
• All inquires related to promotions or business operations of Interconnects.ai should go to mail@interconnects.ai.
• My primary email is nathan@natolambert.com. This is for direct communications and coordinating engagements. 
• I have other email addresses. Using these incorrectly (e.g. found on the web randomly) will result in you message being ignored.
• My phone number is intended to be private and any unsolicited contact there is considered spam.

Other forms, from Twitter to Substack DMs are used randomly and do not have a promise of reading content. Email is my primary form of communication.

Note on collaborations: Unfortunately due to the focused nature of my work, I add very few collaborations from external organizations. Feel free to propose it, but especially for cross-organizational collaborations they tend to be inefficient unless scoped in a manner than can be strongly separated and pursued in parallel.
