AI Researcher Intern

Job Title: AI Researcher Intern

Location: United States (Remote)

We are currently seeking candidates that are bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. The estimated pay-rate will be $30 per hour, depending on education level. 

Responsibilities will be dependent on core research function, and can be responsible for one or two of the below areas:

Harness Architecture Design & Implementation

• Research and design Agent execution framework, providing standardized runtime environment for intelligent agents
• Implement tool call orchestration mechanism, supporting unified abstraction for function calling, API integration, and external system interaction
• Build execution sandbox environment to ensure safety and controllability of Agent operations
• Design task decomposition and planning engine, supporting automatic breakdown of complex goals and execution path optimization
• Implement execution state tracking and anomaly recovery mechanisms to ensure reliability of long-running tasks

Memory System Architecture Development

• Design hierarchical memory architecture, covering storage and retrieval mechanisms for working memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
• Research memory compression and summarization techniques, enabling efficient storage of massive interaction history while preserving key information
• Build context-aware memory system, supporting multi-dimensional memory association based on time, task, and user
• Develop memory retrieval augmentation mechanisms, achieving deep integration of RAG and Agent memory
• Explore memory forgetting and update strategies, balancing memory capacity with information timeliness

Multi-Agent Collaboration Architecture

• Research multi-Agent system architecture, design communication protocols and collaboration mechanisms between Agents
• Implement role specialization and task allocation algorithms, supporting orchestration of expert Agents, coordinator Agents, executor Agents, and other roles
• Build consensus achievement and conflict resolution mechanisms to handle decision disagreements among multiple Agents
• Design Agent social behavior norms, simulating communication, negotiation, and feedback patterns in human team collaboration
• Explore emergent behavior and collective intelligence, researching self-organization and adaptive capabilities in multi-Agent systems

General Architecture Capabilities

• Design Agent evaluation and benchmarking system, establishing quantitative capability metrics
• Build Agent behavior interpretability framework, supporting decision process tracing and attribution analysis
• Research Agent safety alignment mechanisms to prevent risks such as unauthorized operations, harmful outputs, and goal drift
• Track cutting-edge Agentic AI research and translate academic achievements into engineering practice
