Frontier work on personal knowledge/world models that ships.

Office-first3 garages

About the role

You work on knowledge, world models, memory, and the evaluations that keep them honest, in a lab whose partners are Stony Brook, Purdue, and the IITs. Our constraint shapes the research: the model often runs on the person's own hardware under a consent boundary, which closes off the easy answers.

What we need to see

  • Research contribution you can point at: publications, or a shipped system whose core idea was yours
  • You implement your own work to a standard that could ship
  • Rigor about evaluation, especially at telling real gains from better-looking benchmarks
  • Depth in knowledge representation, memory, world models, or retrieval

Nice to have

  • Personalisation or user-specific models
  • Privacy-preserving machine learning
  • Open-source or open-weights contributions

What winning looks like

  • Benchmark/eval gains that reach the product
  • Research shipped to users
  • Reproducibility and quality of work

Where and how we work

We work in the office together five days a week, in one of our garages. Remote work is available only by exception, arranged individually around specific circumstances.
