Maddie D. Reese

I build strange, working AI systems with tiny models, old hardware, and physical interfaces, then explain how they work.

Website  |  X  |  YouTube  |  LinkedIn

Selected work

gbc-transformer, a tiny language model running locally on a stock Game Boy Color multAIplayer, private group chat for building with Codex together
paLLM, a tiny transformer running locally on a Palm Tungsten E2 XTeInk Terminal, an e-ink terminal powered by custom firmware and a tmux bridge
Ticket Printer OS, a web-based ticket system for thermal printers and Raspberry Pi maddie-bench, a structured-drawing benchmark for multimodal models

What I build

My projects make technical systems visible. I run language models where they barely fit, give AI tools unfamiliar screens and controls, turn APIs into physical objects, and publish the implementation details so other people can inspect, use, and remix the work.

My background is in education and community building. I care about approachable tools, clear mental models, playful demos, and helping technically curious people become more technical through AI-assisted creation.

Current experiments

Right now I am exploring local models, constrained inference, collaborative coding agents, retro hardware, e-ink interfaces, and public evaluations.
