This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of AI efficiency research, developing technologies that make modern LLMs, VLMs, multimodal models, and AI agents faster, smaller, and more deployable in real-world environments. Ways to Stand Out Publications in reputable venues in ML and/or systems space (e.g., ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, ACL, COLM, EMNLP, MLSys, MICRO, etc).Experience with modern LLM/VLM inference and deployment frameworks such as llama.cpp,
