About H

H exists to push the boundaries of superintelligence with agentic AI. By automating complex, multi-step tasks typically performed by humans, AI agents will help unlock full human potential. H is hiring the world's best AI talent, seeking those dedicated to building safely and responsibly while advancing disruptive agentic capabilities. We promote a mindset of openness, learning, and collaboration, where everyone has something to contribute.

About the Team

The Models team builds the foundational models that power our cutting-edge agentic technology. We focus on training techniques to optimize model capabilities specifically for agent applications, allowing us to achieve the best performance at a given inference cost. Our work spans the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs), enabling agents to perceive, understand, and act within complex environments.

We are deeply involved in enhancing these models through advanced training methods with a focus on improved instruction following, tool use, and interaction with dynamic environments via large-scale reinforcement learning and reward modeling. Our team operates at the intersection of research and product, translating cutting-edge research into practical solutions that drive the next generation of AI. We are seeking bright, motivated individuals to join our ranks and shape the future of superintelligent AI.
