About the role

  • We are the AllWorld Team under the Institute of Foundation Model (IFM) at MBZUAI.
  • At AllWorld, we are pioneering the development of the PAN (Physical, Agentic, and Networked) world models -the next-generation foundation models to unlock machine intelligence beyond lingual.
  • Our mission is to tackle the fundamental challenges of world modeling and establish a new paradigm for next-generation machine reasoning.

Responsibilities

  • Develop the foundational world model to accurately simulate the physical world.
  • Collaborate with engineering and data teams to tackle key challenges in training the world model on large-scale clusters.
  • Develop metrics and evaluation benchmarks to better assess model performance.
  • Design and implement a scalable and efficient data annotation pipeline to ensure high-quality labeled data for training and evaluation.
  • Optimize inference efficiency to enable real-time interaction.
  • Scalable Training Systems: Develop and optimize infrastructure for training multimodal LLMs and video diffusion models at massive scale.
  • Efficient Data Pipelines: Build scalable video data pipelines and annotation frameworks to support high-quality training data.
  • Visual Tokenization: Develop methods for discretizing visual features into tokens for improved model representation.
  • Experiences in building and optimizing large-scale video data pipelines.
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive projects in rapidly evolving research areas.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art video generative models (e.g., Sora, Veo2, MovieGen, CogVideoX, etc.).

Compensation

  • $150k-$450k
