Research Scientist, Open Ecosystem
About The Position
We are a non-profit AI institute, focused on developing foundational AI research and innovation to deliver real-world impact through large-scale open models, data, and artifacts (e.g., Olmo, Tulu, Molmo). We unite the best and brightest scientific and engineering minds to explore the potential of truly open AI. Through our efforts, including the pioneering Olmo releases, we endeavor to empower academics, researchers, and AI developers more broadly to advance language models and generative AI models. Through close collaboration, we rapidly identify, define, and act on the most exciting and promising new ideas in AI. Our team engages in a broad range of AI research, including pre-training and post-training language models, curating data to enhance AI across different modalities, and developing novel methodologies to push the field forward. We study and evaluate AI models both theoretically and empirically, aiming to advance their capabilities. Additionally, we create impactful real-world applications, such as in scientific synthesis. Our goal is to develop state-of-the-art models that excel in scientific discovery, reasoning, and factual recall.
