Our benchmarks don't just measure the cutting edge of AI, they are actively shaping the frontier.

Our benchmarks and analysis are trusted by hundreds of thousands of users and are the go-to reference for leading AI labs including OpenAI, Google, Meta, NVIDIA and Anthropic, and major publications including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, the Financial Times and The Economist.

We are a team of 40+, on track to double by end of year, backed by Nat Friedman (GitHub, Meta), Daniel Gross (SSI, Meta), Andrew Ng (Google Brain, DeepLearning.ai, Amazon), Adam D'Angelo (Quora, Poe, OpenAI), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face) and other industry leaders.

• Knowledge of modern AI and experience using LLMs
• Passion for AI and eagerness to work at the forefront of technological innovation

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to distill complex concepts into actionable insights in the face of uncertainty
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Proven ability to lead projects independently in a fast-paced environment

Preferred but not essential:
