Vmax, San Francisco +1
RL has become the de-facto method of post-training LLMs. We are limited by the sample efficiency of the current policy gradient algorithms in use today, and are looking for a talented researcher to weave together pre-LLM and post-LLM approaches to learning from experience.
The expected salary range for this position is $300,000 - $500,000 USD
Vmax is an applied research lab developing AI capable of open-ended learning. We are building systems to exceed humans in all capacities by optimising beyond the local maxima of learning from human expertise.
