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 6-12 months and contribute to state-of-the-art 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 the Program

• The Prime Intellect AI Research Residency is a paid, full-time program that offers hands-on experience working on real-world AI challenges alongside our world-class research team.
• Residents will have the opportunity to:
• Collaborate with leading experts in AI, distributed systems, and protocols to develop state-of-the-art 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 large-scale AI models using novel architectures and distributed training techniques across thousands of GPUs and smaller clusters
• Publish research papers and present findings at top-tier AI conferences
• Develop a strong network within the decentralized AI community

Who We're 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
• Self-taught 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 open-source 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.
