The future of AI is being built by a handful of companies: OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind, among others. One of the core ingredients for improving the performance of LLMs is the use of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). 

Join us for a live conversation with Mercor's cofounder and CTO, [Adarsh Hiremath](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adarsh-h-623941204) hosted by Taro's cofounder and CEO, [Rahul Pandey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rpandey1234/). Mercor is a key partner to enable RLHF for many frontier model companies. As part of this, Mercor offers 1000s of part-time, remote-friendly roles with competitive compensation. 

This is a new type of white-collar work that involves debugging, validating, and creating scenarios for LLMs. As the capabilities of models improve, the expertise required to train models keeps increasing. One of the highest-priority areas is around coding, which means Software Engineers have a special role to play in this type of work.

This event explains the pros and cons of AI lab gig work, what exactly the work entails, and how much you can earn. 

Some topics we’ll cover:

- Typical hourly rates and the compensation model
- Project-to-project variability
- Unique challenges of remote collaboration in this type of work
- What does the day-to-day look like with this type of work?
- How does this work impact the development of LLMs and AI agents? 
- How will this work evolve over the next 5 years?

There will also be time for open Q&A from the audience.
