Research Fellowship - Mechanistic Interpretability

About the job

About V max V max is an applied research lab developing AI capable of open-ended learning. We are building systems to exceed humans in all capacities by optimizing beyond the local maxima of learning from human expertise. About the role LLMs are fantastically powerful and there is a rapidly growing corpus of work devoted to understanding their internal representations and computations. We use the tools of mechanistic interpretability to enhance reinforcement learning by generating intrinsic rewards as a supplement or alternative to downstream human-generated verifiers. This 3 to 6 month fellowship is for PhD students or equivalent early-career researchers who want to work at the intersection…
