About the job
Develop and improve diffusion-based large language models through research into training, post-training, generation, multimodal integration, and efficiency.
What you'll do
- Design and optimize diffusion language model architectures, training objectives, and loss functions.
- Research controlled text generation, constraint satisfaction, and multimodal integration for diffusion models.
- Improve training and inference efficiency and develop post-training methods to align model behavior.
What they ask for
- At least 2 years of experience working on ML projects in PyTorch (or equivalent).
- Excellent familiarity with transformers and core LLM concepts, including autoregressive pretraining, instruction tuning, in-context learning, and KV caching.
- Familiarity with training and inference in diffusion models.
- Experience training deep learning models at scale in distributed computing environments.
Nice to have
- Extensive experience training transformer-based language models from scratch.
- Experience with multimodal learning and cross-modal architectures.
Tools
PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT
AI focus
Research and develop diffusion-based LLMs, including training techniques, parallel token generation, controlled generation, multimodal integration, efficiency, and post-training alignment.
