About the Institute of Foundation Models
 
The Institute of Foundation Models is dedicated to advancing the science and engineering of large-scale AI systems. Our researchers and engineers develop cutting-edge foundation models while pushing the limits of high-performance computing and efficient AI inference. By combining deep expertise in machine learning, systems engineering, and hardware optimization, we build scalable AI solutions that drive scientific discovery and real-world impact.
As part of the team, interns work alongside world-class researchers and performance engineers to optimize the execution of large-scale foundation models on next-generation NVIDIA GPU architectures. This internship provides hands-on experience in low-level GPU performance analysis, kernel optimization, and hardware-aware inference acceleration.
