About Us
Inception is a generative AI startup. Leveraging breakthrough AI research, we are training next-generation large language models (LLM) powered by diffusion. Unlike existing auto-regressive models, which only output one token at a time, diffusion LLMs can output many tokens in parallel. This means that they are several times faster and can leverage their additional test-time compute to improve quality. They also enable fine-grained control over their outputs to adhere to specific schema and semantic constraints, and they provide a unified paradigm for combining language with other data modalities, including audio, images, and videos.
Our team is led by Stefano Ermon (co-inventor of diffusion models, flash attention, and DPO; faculty at Stanford), Aditya Grover (co-inventor of node2vec and decision transformers; faculty at UCLA), and Volodymyr Kuleshov (prev. co-founder and CTO at Afresh Technologies; faculty at Cornell), and includes engineers from Google Deepmind, Meta AI, Microsoft AI, and OpenAI. We are currently deploying large-scale diffusion LLMs at Fortune 500 companies.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a startup at the forefront of AI development! If you’re ready to make a tangible impact in the world of generative AI, apply today.
We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.
