Job Description

Here at Hugging Face, we’re on a journey to advance good Machine Learning and make it more accessible.

Along the way, we contribute to the development of technology for the better.We have built the fastest-growing, open-source, library of pre-trained models in the world.

With more than 500K+ models and 250K+ stars on GitHub, over 15.000 companies are using HF technology in production, including leading AI organizations such as Google, Elastic, Salesforce, Algolia, and Grammarly.About the RoleSmol models are an exciting area of research as they enable cheaper inference and can be run on-device allowing for more customization and ensuring privacy.

The SmolLM team at Hugging Face is pushing the frontier of smol models by building high quality pre-training and post-training datasets [1,2], and applying the latest architecture and training techniques to develop state-of-the-art models [2,3].

The dataset processing can leverage our scalable CPU cluster and the models are trained on a state-of-the-art H100 cluster with close to 100 nodes.

In this internship you will work alongside the SmolLM team and work towards building the next generation of smol language models by iterating on datasets and models quickly and finally training models on our distributed training infrastructure.

If you are passionate about training LLMs and building high-quality datasets, proficient in Python, we would love to hear from you!

Join the SmolLM team and collaborate on developing the best smol models in the field.
