Machine Learning Engineer Internship, Generative AI

At Hugging Face, we're on a journey to democratize good AI. We are building the fastest growing platform for AI builders with over 5 million users & 100k organizations who collectively shared over 1M models, 300k datasets & 300k apps. Our open-source libraries have more than 400k+ stars on Github.

About the Role

ChatGPT took the world by storm due to its surprising capabilities. By the time it was launched it was a massive model, requiring many GPUs to run. Fast forward to 2024, and we have 1B LLMs that fit in a smartphone and have similar quality levels. The community has also realized that small models using techniques like chain of thought can outperform much larger models. The focus of this internship is on model usage: how can we extract a higher-quality output from existing small-sized pre-trained models?

This internship works at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning engineering, bringing state-of-the-art generative breakthroughs to transformers in a user-friendly fashion. By the end of this internship, the candidate will have touched all facets that power LLM APIs, including hardware acceleration, numerical precision problems, common machine learning caveats, and the importance of writing scalable software.
