Researcher, Training
About the Team
The mid-training team does cross-cutting research, engineering, and execution, including activities classically associated with both pre-training and post-training. We improve OpenAI's flagship models, adding new capabilities and making them more efficient. Recent examples of artifacts with major contributions from our team include GPT4-Turbo and GPT-4o.
About the Role
The efficiency of our frontier model architectures is key to making today’s models and those of the future accessible. Step-change improvements to efficiency can unlock new interfaces, enable new applications, and impact the frontier itself.
Ideal candidates have a deep understanding of state-of-the art architectures, a sophisticated understanding of LLM inference, and a hands-on empirical approach. A good fit for this role will be equally happy coming up with a creative breakthrough, investing in strengthening a baseline, designing an eval, debugging a thorny regression, or tracking down a bottleneck.
This role is based in San Francisco. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
- Design, execute, and analyze experiments autonomously and collaboratively
- Study, debug, and optimize both model performance and computational performance
- Contribute to training and inference infrastructure
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have experience landing contributions to major LLM training runs
- Can thoroughly evaluate and improve deep learning architectures in a self-directed fashion
- Are motivated by safely deploying LLMs in the real world
- Are well-versed in the state of the art transformer modifications for efficiency
