Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks top GitHub contributors to join an agentic review project. You will design and validate benchmark tasks that target reasoning failures in a leading AI model, working within an agentic development environment built with Python. The role focuses on creating real-world problems, building golden solutions, and analyzing model trajectories to pinpoint where the model loses core capabilities. You will commit 30+ hours per week on weekdays and collaborate with a team of high-caliber researchers.

What You'll Do12

  • Create challenging, real-world problems that expose specific reasoning gaps in a target frontier model.
  • Build detailed task instructions and an overview for each benchmark problem.
  • Develop a golden solution that adheres to the task instructions and serves as a reference.
  • Set up the required environment, including datasets, Python libraries, and metadata.
  • Write a test notebook with unit tests that solutions must pass.
  • Evaluate the model's performance on the designed tasks and identify failures.
  • Classify failures as logical reasoning issues and extract patterns from the model's agent trajectory.
  • Analyze agent steps to observe where core capabilities break down.
  • Work closely with the research team to refine tasks and evaluation methods.
  • Maintain high-quality documentation for tasks and solutions.
  • Contribute to a growing benchmark suite that pushes model reasoning forward.
  • Engage in regular syncs and provide feedback on task design and model behavior.

Requirements12

  • Proven track record as a highly skilled GitHub contributor.
  • Strong expertise in data science, machine learning, coding, or a deep quantitative background in frontier STEM.
  • Ability to commit 30+ hours per week on weekdays.
  • Proficiency in Python for building and testing task components.
  • Experience with agentic development environments and model evaluation.
  • Capacity to design complex, real-world problems that test model reasoning.
  • Solid understanding of unit testing and test-driven development.
  • Familiarity with benchmark creation and validation.
  • Strong analytical skills to diagnose model failures and loss patterns.
  • Excellent written communication for clear task instructions and documentation.
  • Self-directed work ethic and reliability in a remote setting.
  • Completed AI video interview as part of the application process.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with a strong GitHub portfolio and deep expertise in data science, machine learning, coding, or frontier STEM. The role suits someone who can commit 30+ hours per week on weekdays and enjoys designing challenging problems to probe AI reasoning. If you have experience building and evaluating agentic tasks, this project offers a chance to shape frontier model capabilities.
