About me

I'm Jerry Chi, a quadralingual (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) GenAI tinkerer living in Tokyo.

I like machine learning, generative art/music, and crypto.

Currently, I'm leading research at Mewtant, which runs the anime-style image generation platform PixAI and is developing an AI-powered manga/webtoon creation tool.

Previously, I established the Japan branch of Stability AI, a generative AI startup, in January 2023; we built generative image and language models for the Japanese market and Japanese speakers.

I grew up in Silicon Valley (Cupertino) and have lived in Seoul, Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Helsinki, London, Toronto, and Philadelphia.

Here is a video of me popping while dressed as a Rirakkuma (relaxing bear).

Here are my kids. They are 1/4 Japanese and 1/4 Korean.

Often, I enjoy jumpkicking and biking on rocks.

I wish I had many break-dancing moves but I don't.

In 2021, the Governor of Tokyo randomly tweeted about me. Basically it's an article (in the first issue of the government's Tokyo Updates publication) about how it's awesome to live and work in Tokyo (in English, 日本語).

Anyway, I hope you have a nice day! ♫♫
