About
I'm Wanning He, a graduate student at Dartmouth working on generative models — currently multi-subject reference conditioning for diffusion transformers. This site is where I study in public.
The name is the map. Everything here lives on one of three tracks:
- Latents — diffusion, image & video generation: mechanisms, conditioning, efficiency.
- Logs — distributed systems (MIT 6.824) and Designing Machine Learning Systems.
- Loops — agentic systems: tools, orchestration, evaluation.
The interesting part is where they intersect: the systems problems of generative models — serving diffusion cheaply, scaling training, building agents that use these models well.
How this garden works
This is a digital garden, not a blog. Posts are published early and tended over time, and each one wears its maturity honestly:
- 🌱 Seed — a fresh, unpolished note.
- 🌿 Growing — taking shape, still evolving.
- 🌲 Evergreen — stable and worth citing.
If a seed looks half-finished, that's because it is — publishing early is the whole point.
The daily Reading Log is the garden's heartbeat — one tiny entry about what I read and what stuck — while the posts here grow more slowly.
