AI Frontierslab is seeking applications for the positionrole canbe located inone of our 3 labs: New York City, NY, Cambridge, MA, and Redmond, WA.

The mission of thelab is to expand the pareto frontier of Artficial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, efficiency, and safety through innovations in foundation models and learning agent platforms. Some of our projects includeon Small Language Models (Phi, Orca), foundation models for actions (e.g., in gaming, robotics, and Office productivity tools) and Multi-Agent AI (

Large Action Model (LAM) andLarge Language Model (LLM) technologies. As a Senior Principal Researcher, you will play a crucial role in developing, improving, and exploring the capabilities ofAI modelstechnologies, advancingand providing practical solutions to real-world problems.

Our ongoing research areas encompass but are not limited to:

• Pre-training: especially of language models, action models and multimodal models

• Alignment andPost-training: e.g., Instruction tuning and reinforcement learning from feedback

• Continual Learning: Enabling LLMs to evolve and adapt over time and learn frompreviousexperiences human interactions

• Specialization: Tailoring models to meet application-specific requirements

• Orchestration and multi-agent systems: automated orchestration between multiple agents incorporating human feedback and oversight
