The Consumer Products Research team is an Applied Research team focused on developing new methods and models to support our vision for the future of computing as we advance forward in our mission of building AGI that benefits all of humanity.

As a Research Engineer/Scientist on the Consumer Products Research team, you will work together with both the best ML researchers in the world and the greatest design talent of our generation to push the frontier of model capabilities.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We follow a hybrid model with 4 days a week in the office and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

• Train and evaluate multimodal SoTA models along axis that are important to our vision for future devices.
• Develop novel architectures that improve model performance when scaling the models themselves is not an option.
• Run through the necessary walls to take nascent research capabilities and turn them into capabilities we can build on top of.

• Have a research background in adapting transformers to run in environments with significantly less compute than traditional GPUs and datacenter accelerators.
• Love performance optimization and working with GPU Kernel engineers (but you do not need CUDA experience yourself).
• Do rigorous science (rather than vibes based). We need confidence in the experiments we run to move quickly.
• Have already spent time in the weeds teaching models to speak and perceive.

OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.
