Comparing master's program options while starting M.S. applications. AI-generated illustration.

  • It's been a while since I wrote one of these. I've mostly just been studying, so I kept skipping it because I didn't feel like I had much to write about.

  • I had a quiz today. After all the assignments and quiz preparation, I was pretty tired, but getting the quiz out of the way gave me some free time.

  • I finally started working on my M.S. applications today. Right now, I'm choosing which schools to apply to.

  • I've gotten really interested in AI engineering, especially inference engineering. I think this is the direction I want to pursue, and I'd like to work in this field.

  • I was originally looking at professional master's programs, but now I'm considering a program with more theory and research. Doing research seems like it could help me prepare for the kind of inference engineering work I want to do. I haven't settled on a program yet, but this interest is changing what I'm looking for in a master's.
