We provide funding and mentorship to promising technical talent - regardless of previous experience.</p> <p>Fellows will primarily use external infrastructure (e.g. open-source models, public APIs) to work on an empirical project aligned with our research priorities, with the goal of producing a <strong>public output</strong> (e.g. a paper submission). In one of our earlier cohorts, over 80% of fellows produced papers.</p> <p>We run multiple cohorts of Fellows each year and review applications on a rolling basis.
