PhD GenAI Research Scientist Intern

Company Description: At Databricks, we are obsessed with enabling data teams to solve the world’s toughest problems, from security threat detection to cancer drug development. We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI platform, so our customers can focus on the high value challenges that are central to their own missions. The Mosaic AI organization enables companies to develop AI models and systems using their own data, with technologies ranging from fine-tuning LLMs for enterprise domains, to a platform for building compound AI systems that use retrieval and agents. Mosaic AI is committed to the belief that a company’s AI models are just as valuable as any other core IP, and that high-quality AI models should be available to all. Job description: Most of the world's data+AI problems lie in enterprise domains, behind closed doors.
