Avigya was selected for the Generation Google Scholarship, a prestigious $10,000 award for CS students with demonstrated leadership. Her research at Algoverse was accepted to the NeurIPS Mechanistic Interpretability Workshop.

“I just got accepted to the Generational Google Scholarship. It's a really prestigious scholarship providing 10000 dollars awarded to CS students with demonstrated leadership. My main essay was about all of my research experience in Algoverse!! Thank you so much, Kevin. This would not have been possible without you!”

Zili was hired as an intern at p1.ai through a connection she made with a mentor at Algoverse.

“The Algoverse Research Fellowship was pivotal for my transition from academia to AI evaluation work. I had access to not only great mentors and teammates but also new connections and opportunities in the field.”

James worked on improving long context performance by inserting pause tokens into context, aiming to redistribute attention across the entire context.

“Our topic was about improving long context performance by inserting pause tokens into context, aiming to redistribute attention across the entire context. Working with my team was great. Everyone was eager to learn and work, and the mentors were available everyday to answer our questions and give feedback. I think this experience has definitely helped jumpstart my career. Looking for summer internships and getting interviews was much easier with research on my resume.”

Olivia's team developed a new approach to make computer vision models faster and more efficient without sacrificing performance. Their project, "QIANets: Quantum-Integrated Adaptive Networks for Reduced Latency and Improved Inference Times in CNN Models", was selected for presentation at the Machine Learning and Compression Workshop at NeurIPS 2024 in Vancouver, Canada.

“It was such a phenomenal and life-changing experience… and really solidified my interest in going into AI research in the future.”

Srivishnu's Algoverse research was accepted to the NeurIPS 2025 Efficient Reasoning Workshop, helping strengthen the track record that led to his full-time software engineer offer from OpenAI.

“Algoverse provided the technical foundations I was missing and the "hidden" knowledge around how research actually works — which conferences matter, how peer review works, and how to meet real research standards. It gave me the structure to take my first steps as a researcher.”

McNair's AI safety research at Algoverse was accepted to the NeurIPS 2025 Mechanistic Interpretability Workshop, contributing to his selection for the Anthropic AI Safety Fellowship.

“Algoverse is a great program; the mentors and many of the students in it are incredibly talented. Kevin Zhu is a great program director who's been able to make the program an actual incubator for future researchers that is starkly different from a lot of other programs!”

Through Algoverse, Ryan earned a NeurIPS workshop acceptance, was featured by OpenAI, and was admitted to Stanford.

“The lectures, notebooks, and mentorship were actual industry-level quality, and really put into perspective how legit research looks compared to my old stuff. I feel way more confident about paper-reading, writing, and running actual experiments after all this, and seeing the paper finally get accepted was super rewarding… The program was genuinely the highest ROI thing I've done in my entire high school career.”

Santiago highlighted his Algoverse research accepted at an ACL workshop in his UC Berkeley transfer application from community college.

“Algoverse offered an incredible opportunity minimally available to community college students. The research experience I gained strengthened my UC application, contributing to my acceptance into UC Berkeley's EECS program as a transfer student, a lifelong dream of mine. Our paper was accepted into ACL's REALM'25 Workshop, a prestigious peer-reviewed venue in the field of NLP. This will help me stand out as I pursue research roles, internships, and job opportunities.”
