Research Intern, Frontier Speculative Decoding (Winter 2027)

About the Role The Speculative Decoding team at Together AI builds the draft models and algorithms that let large language models generate faster without changing their outputs. Our speculators run in production on frontier open models such as DeepSeek, Kimi and GLM. Our work sits at the intersection of model training, inference algorithms and serving systems, and we co-design all three to lower the cost and latency of generation. As a research intern, you will dive into open questions in speculative decoding: new drafter architectures and verification schemes, knowledge distillation and…
