🎯Who You Are
You are a creative, hands-on AI researcher with a strong foundation in AI and reasoning. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of research and engineering, you seek to advance AI both scientifically and openly. You thrive in collaborative environments, take initiative, and are eager to contribute to Ai2's impact-driven mission in a dynamic, fast-paced research setting. Skilled at translating complex concepts into concrete research goals and implementation steps, you define clear approaches, execute effectively, and communicate results with clarity. You leverage these skills to create real-world benefits for researchers and practitioners alike and are excited to help drive the development of the best-performing open AI model.
🏢Who We Are
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, the science of agentic systems, data, and artifacts (e.g. asta.allen.ai, Olmo, Tulu). We unite the best and brightest scientific and engineering minds to explore the potential of truly open AI. Through our efforts we endeavor to empower academics, researchers, and AI developers more broadly to advance language models and reasoning-based agentic systems. Through close collaboration, we rapidly identify, define, and act on the most exciting and promising new ideas in AI.
Our team is focused on developing Asta, an agentic system aimed at revolutionizing how science is performed. We engage in language model post-training, generating and curating data, layering control strategies atop LLMs, building systems that learn continually and improve themselves, 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 and harnesses that excel in scientific reasoning spanning literature synthesis, hypothesis formation, scientific coding, execution of computation…
