Reach senior AI engineers building things that ship.
Who reads YOMXXX
The audience skews toward senior IC engineers, ML platform leads, and technical founders — people who actually decide which inference framework, agent framework, vector DB, or eval tool gets adopted at their company. Not hobbyists, not students, not "AI curious" PMs.
- Topics: LLM inference, agents, RAG, fine-tuning, evals, ML infra
- Format: long-form deep dives, paper digests, honest tool reviews
- Tone: technical, opinionated, no marketing fluff

What I won't do
- Generic banner ads that don't match the audience
- "Sponsored content" pretending to be editorial
- Reviews where the verdict is pre-agreed
- Anything from companies whose products I'd be embarrassed to recommend
