AI Research Resident Open Source AGI

Overview

Prime Intellect is excited to announce our AI Research Residency Program, a unique opportunity for exceptional researchers, engineers, and hackers to join our team for 612 months and contribute to stateoftheart decentralized AI research project. This program is designed to provide a bridge for brilliant technical minds from diverse fields to transition into AI research and development.

About Prime Intellect

At Prime Intellect, we are on a mission to accelerate open and decentralized AI progress by enabling anyone to contribute compute, code or capital to train powerful, open models. Our ultimate goal? Openly accessible AGI that benefits everyone.

We are building the infrastructure for decentralized AI development at scale. We aggregate global compute and enable researchers to collaboratively train stateoftheart models through distributed training across clusters..

About the Program

The Prime Intellect AI Research Residency is a paid, fulltime program that offers handson experience working on realworld AI challenges alongside our worldclass research team. Residents will have the opportunity to:

• Collaborate with leading experts in AI, distributed systems, and protocols to develop stateoftheart open language models, coding agents, and scientific discovery models

• Contribute to projects focused on democratizing AI and making it universally accessible through the Prime Intellect platform

• Gain practical experience in developing and deploying largescale AI models using novel architectures and distributed training techniques across thousands of GPUs and smaller clusters

• Publish research papers and present findings at toptier AI conferences

• Develop a strong network within the decentralized AI community

• Who Were Looking For

  We welcome applications from researchers, engineers, and hackers with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, including but not limited to:

  • PhD students or postdoctoral researchers in computer science, mathematics, physics, neuroscience, or related fields

  • Experienced software engineers with a strong interest in transitioning to AI research

  • Selftaught individuals with a proven track record of exceptional technical contributions

  • Candidates with experience in machine learning, distributed systems, or protocols

  • Focus Areas

    Residents will have the opportunity to work on one or more of the following focus areas:

    • Distributed AI Infrastructure: Contribute to the development of the Prime Intellect protocol, enabling massively scalable, distributed compute marketplaces and collective ownership of AI models.

    • Open Language Models: Build large language models like opensource software, allowing for continual improvement and model merging. We envision a future where all training compute can be built upon by everyone so that all efforts towards intelligence are cumulative. (Inspired by Colin Raffel).

    • Coding Agents: Train AI agents that deeply understand code semantics and can autonomously build complex software systems.

    • Scientific Discovery: Explore scientific agents and foundation models to accelerate research in fields such as longevity drug discovery, materials science and other scientific areas.

    • Benefits & Perks

      • Competitive compensation, including equity incentives, aligning your success with the growth and impact of Prime Intellect.

      • Flexible work arrangements, with the option to work remotely or inperson at our offices in San Francisco or Berlin.

      • Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for international candidates.

      • Quarterly team offsites, hackathons, conferences and learning opportunities.

      • Opportunity to work with a talented, hardworking and missiondriven team, united by a shared passion for leveraging technology to accelerate science and AI.

      • We recently raised $15mm in funding (total of $20mm raised) led by Founders Fund, with participation from Menlo Ventures and prominent angels including Andrej Karpathy (Eureka AI, Tesla, OpenAI), Tri Dao (Chief Scientific Officer of Together AI), Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis), Clem Delangue (Huggingface), Emad Mostaque (Stability AI) and many others.

        If youre excited about the opportunity to build the foundation for the future of decentralized AI and create a platform that empowers developers and researchers to push the boundaries of whats possible, wed love to hear from you.
