About this role
We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do.
And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world.
We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
