Pluralis Research is pioneering Protocol Learning—a fully decentralised way to train and deploy AI models that opens this layer to individuals rather than well resourced corporates. By pooling compute from many participants, incentivising their efforts, and preventing any single party from controlling a model’s full weights, we’re creating a genuinely open, collaborative path to frontier-scale AI. If you want your work to shape the future of truly open innovation in artificial intelligence, join us.
Key ResponsibilitiesContribute to groundbreaking research in Protocol Learning during your PhD. Join Pluralis for a 6-month research internship focused on publishing.
This fixed-term position offering an opportunity to author foundational papers in an emerging field with access to significant compute and focused mentorship from senior scientists.
