Boson AI is an early-stage startup building large language tools for interaction
and entertainment. Our founders, Alex Smola [https://alex.smola.org/], Mu Li
[https://github.com/mli], and a team of Deep Learning, Optimization, NLP, AutoML
and Statistics scientists and engineers are working on high quality generative
AI models for language and beyond.
We are seeking research scientists and engineers to join our team full-time in
our Santa Clara office. As part of your role, you will work on modeling and
training LLMs, understanding and interpreting model behavior and aligning models
to human values. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in machine
learning, and have motivations for developing state-of-the-art models towards
AGI.
