Brand Marketing & PR Internship at Pathway in Palo Alto, CA

About Pathway

At Pathway, we believe that memory and the ability to learn on the fly is the single biggest limitation facing current transformer-based AI models. Pathway is a post-transformer neo-lab that has solved that problem. We are delivering a faster path to AGI through true continuous learning and long horizon reasoning.

Pathway is led by co-founder & CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who created a team consisting of AI pioneers, including CTO Jan Chorowski who was the first person to apply Attention to speech and worked with Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton at Google Brain, as well as CSO Adrian Kosowski, a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at the age of 20.

The company is backed by leading investors and advisors, including Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer (“the T” in ChatGPT) and a key researcher behind OpenAI’s reasoning models. Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
