- Stochastic processes
- Optimization theory
Additional information
We care much more about what you can do than any specific credential. We're interested in published work or lab experience, but equally in strong open-source contributions or personal projects. If you're excited about scaling general models that learn from and act in the real world, we'd love to talk.
About Pantograph
Pantograph is training general models that start by watching internet-scale video and end up on robots. We think the path to capable robots runs through general intelligence rather than narrow, robot-specific skills. We're scaling simple methods across video games, real-world video, and our own fleet of affordable, durable robots.
We're looking for research scientists who want to scale simple methods across the largest datasets available.
