Hi, I'm Pete Pittawat Taveekitworachai
I teach language models to reason, follow instructions, and behave the way people expect—through research, engineering, and writing.
My work includes first-author papers at EMNLP 2024 and 2025, leading Typhoon T1—Southeast Asia's first open reasoning model—and building evaluation frameworks like BenchING (IEEE ToG 2025) that help teams understand what LLMs can actually do.
Current focus
Leading fine-tuning programs and agentic workflows that make models useful in medical triage, game design, and driving assistance.
Ship-ready builds

About Me
I'm Pete (Pittawat Taveekitworachai), and I work on making large language models reliable and useful. That means research, engineering, and lots of writing about what actually works.
Most recently, I've been leading fine-tuning programs for Typhoon (Thai reasoning models), publishing at EMNLP and IEEE ToG, and building evaluation tools that help teams test what their models can—and can't—do.
Prior Prompt Engineering (EMNLP 2025) shows how different prompting strategies during training lead to different reasoning behaviors after fine-tuning. Typhoon T1 demonstrates a cost-effective path to building reasoning models through supervised fine-tuning.
Null-Shot Prompting (EMNLP 2024) explores how intentional errors in prompts can improve reasoning. FinCoT grounds chain-of-thought in financial expert blueprints. These techniques translate into prompt libraries teams actually use.
BenchING (IEEE ToG 2025) benchmarks how well LLMs follow structured output formats. ChatGPT4PCG runs competitions on physics-based level generation. Both help catch failures before deployment.
Work with medical triage systems, game narrative generators, and driving assessment tools tests whether research holds up when it meets real users.
Research Focus

-
Fine-tuning programs
Leading SFT and RFT programs for Typhoon reasoning models. Prior Prompt Engineering (EMNLP 2025) shows how training prompts shape model behavior.
-
Prompt techniques
Null-Shot Prompting (EMNLP 2024) uses intentional errors to improve reasoning. FinCoT embeds financial expert strategies into prompts.
-
Evaluation frameworks
BenchING (IEEE ToG 2025) evaluates structured output formats. ChatGPT4PCG tests physics-based generation. Both catch problems early.
-
Applied work
Collaborations in medical triage, game design, and driving assessment that test whether research works with real users.

Short reads on evaluation, prompting techniques, and the practical side of running LLM systems in production.
GeneralFrom Assistant to Collaborator: How Natural Language Agents Shape the World
Natural language agents like Siri and Alexa are evolving through generative models and transformers, generating human-like responses and revolutionizing language processing. The future of these agents involves multi-modal capabilities for interacting with the physical world in healthcare and disaster relief. Responsible development and ethical use are important due to the agents' potential and risks, including the possibility of sentient AI models.
