About the role
- About the Institute of Foundation Models
- We are a dedicated research lab for building, understanding, using, and risk-managing foundation models. Our mandate is to advance research, nurture the next generation of AI builders, and drive transformative contributions to a knowledge-driven economy.
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and scale large language models for research and real-world deployment.
- Lead or contribute to the release of industrial-scale diffusion language models.
- Develop and evaluate training strategies and objectives for efficient model scaling.
- First, we develop and release diffusion-based LLMs that push the speed-quality frontier at scale by matching autoregressive model quality while enabling faster generation.
Nice to have
- About the Institute of Foundation Models
- You will participate in the development of groundbreaking AI solutions that have the potential to reshape entire industries.
- Our team has two core missions.
- Second, we improve inference-time scaling relative to standard LLMs, so that additional test-time compute translates into higher-quality samples.
- You will work closely with researchers and engineers across architecture, training, and infrastructure to turn research ideas into high-impact model releases for next-generation LLMs.
- Publish research findings and contribute to open-source model and code releases.
