AI Engineer Intern - build stealth model
Turing Labs Inc.About the role
What if the real frontier isn't another chatbot, but an AI that can taste?
We're Turing Labs. The invisible force on path to drive 50,000+ CPG products like the next cereal or sauce or lotion you would use. We've been quietly reformulating what America eats. Now we're building the AI that will revolutionize HOW the $2 trillion CPG industry thinks.
The Foundation Model Nobody Sees Coming
While OpenAI and Anthropic fight over benchmarks, we're building something different.
Your Mission: Architect the Intelligence
As our Foundation Model Research Intern, you won't be fine-tuning models. You'll be generating unique dataset, never sourced before.
Your Daily Reality:
- Morning: Work closely with our AI engineers to design strategies to generate specific segment of data
- Afternoon: Build evaluation frameworks
- Fine-tune specific models with context engineering
- Late afternoon: Present your architecture to our CTO and argue why your approach beats transformers
- Evening: Watch your model predict specific scenario
The Technical Challenge:
- Design knowledge distillation pipelines from expert interviews → structured data → model weights
- Create evaluation metrics for subjective experiences (how do you benchmark "deliciousness"?)
- Develop few-shot learning approaches using our proprietary knowledge base
You'll Have Access To:
- Compute resources that would make your university lab jealous
- Direct mentorship from our technical team
- CEO and top minds in AI
We're Looking For:
- The student who implemented papers for fun before the official code dropped
- Someone who thinks "Attention Is All You Need" was just the beginning
- Equal comfort with PyTorch, LLMS, fine-tuning, evaluation framework, and context engineering
- The kind of person who's built at least one model that made their professor say "wait, how?"
- Bonus: You've thought about AGI while eating lunch and wondered if intelligence can be... tasty?
Why This Internship Hits Different:
- You're not optimizing ad clicks;
- Your model won't write poetry - it'll reformulate products 300 million Americans consume
- Real shot at co-authoring papers that'll make NEURIPS reviewers do a double-take
To Apply, Send Us:
- GitHub/research portfolio (we'll actually read your code)
- 300 words or 2-minute video: "How I'd teach an AI to taste"
- Your wildest idea for using transformer architectures outside NLP/vision
- One question about our approach that would stump our CTO (we dare you)
P.S. - We can't tell you everything (stealth mode has its rules), but we would be happy to share more details during interview process.
