Research intern at Together AI working on frontier agentic AI systems. Focus on post-training methods, evaluation frameworks, and infrastructure for multi-step agent tasks across text and speech.
The Agents team investigates how to build, align, and scale frontier AI systems that can tackle complex, multi-step tasks and workflows across text and speech, with a particular focus on agentic and scientific domains. Our work sits at the intersection of agent capabilities, human-computer interaction, and infrastructure—from designing post-training methods for agentic behavior to developing evaluation frameworks for open-ended tasks where traditional metrics fall short.
As a research intern, you will work on problems at the frontier of agentic AI, where challenges in alignment, reliability, and scalability are deeply intertwined. Projects may involve developing new training recipes for self-learning and long-horizon reasoning, curating datasets for non-deterministic scientific and agentic tasks, studying failure modes in agentic behavior, or building infrastructure that enables agent operations at scale. You'll operate in a space where algorithmic innovation, dataset and interaction design, and systems work come together to push the boundaries of what AI agents can reliably accomplish.
Our fall internship program spans over 12 to 16 weeks where you’ll have the opportunity to work with industry-leading engineers building a cloud from the ground up and possibly contribute to influential open source projects. Our internship dates are September 14th to December 18th.
