Marcus Chen is DailyTech's senior AI and technology analyst with 8+ years covering the intersection of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and emerging tech. He tracks every major AI release — from OpenAI's GPT series and Anthropic's Claude, to Google Gemini and Meta's Llama — alongside the developer tools reshaping how software is built. His expertise spans large language models, AI safety research, AGI roadmaps, and the economics of compute infrastructure. Before joining DailyTech, Marcus spent years analyzing technology markets and following AI breakthroughs through both research papers and product launches. He personally tests new AI tools, attends industry conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, AI Summit), and reads every model card and arXiv preprint covering frontier AI. When not writing about the latest reasoning model or RAG architecture, Marcus is building side projects with the AI tools he reviews — first-hand testing the workflows he writes about for readers.
