Will Wolf

I started working at 24. I'm now 32. Already, I've taken 2 career "breaks" to learn new things. I'm often asked: wait, how?! Here's a list of reasons to take these breaks yourself. And tips and tricks for pulling it off. 🧵

New Blog Post: Reinforcement Learning for Monopoly Deal willwolf.io/2025/11/18/mon…

🚨 Excited to share my recent paper: "Monopoly Deal: A Benchmark Environment for Bounded One-Sided Response Games." Card games have long served as benchmarks for sequential decision-making under uncertainty — from Poker and Hanabi to Magic: The Gathering. This paper introduces a version of Monopoly Deal designed to study a less-explored interaction pattern, where an action briefly transfers control to the opponent for a bounded sequence of responses. We show that standard Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) adapts cleanly to this structure, and share a lightweight research environment that integrates the game engine, parallel CFR runtime, and web-based interface — all runnable on a single workstation. 🧩 Paper, demo, and code: 🤓 arxiv.org/abs/2510.25080 👉 monopolydeal.ai 💻 github.com/cavaunpeu/mono…

@yoavartzi @sivareddyg nice <3

Anyone know how to contact @LinkedInHelp about unexpected billing? Not responding to DMs.

@sagunamatata We would never

Discussing and announcing the weather using specific numbers is a distinctly American phenomenon (e.g "its going to be 62 today"). Wonder how this relates to hyper optimization and the grand sense of control people feel here

@willium @throughnothing @itunpredictable Looking forward as well Fun facts: I also grew up on a street that starts with W in a town that starts with W Do I get the W on W’s? omg

@throughnothing @willwolf_ cc:// @itunpredictable to coordinate looking forward!

For now the second time, I was mistakenly invited to a lunch, in the grand NYC William Wolf tech guy mixup :) cc @willium @throughnothing

@stephmui Oh wait that’s the famous place right

Founder life hack: instead of eating instant ramen everyday to save money, you should live near Chinatown and get amazing meals like this 🤤

@stephmui Location?

omw to #ethdenver 🌄 and excited to see everyone DM's open if you want to talk about anything @gauntlet_xyz - DeFi optimization/risk mgmt, governance, incentives, and/or the best breakfast burritos

when companies hire me, they get the best of me bc of @jkao23. i work harder, run faster, and jump higher b/c of him. he’s thoughtful, kind, and wickedly good with numbers; and now, i am proud to say he is the CFO of @gauntlet_xyz let’s keep updating the system together 🤝

@JeremyRubin Fck

the sheer and utter indignity of air travel (they threw away my premium miso paste unceremoniously)

A balanced meal.

Looking forward to working with the amazing team at @gauntlet_xyz and applying their insights toward the future vision for @MoonbeamNetwork !

ecosystem incentives can be a powerful mechanism for 1) bootstrapping 2) growth 3) creating self-sustainability if done incorrectly, it can be detrimental to all of the above @MoonbeamNetwork recognizes this and we're excited to support their next leg of sustainable growth!

suppose i'm about to attend the taylor swift concert in tokyo... is there anything im supposed to know or do in advance? (not to flex, just clueless about both attending a swift show and a big concert in japan)

NYC produce, we love you. “Triple washed.”

@collnsmith I spend time in Utah and I don’t think this is true there

I think I’d be happy to just re-read all the books I currently have for the next five years.
