Get paid to train the next generation of AI models
After skill screening, contributors are matched to projects that fit their domain, from coding and math to linguistics and medicine.
No minimum hours and fully remote work, so experts can fit tasks around study, research or a primary job.
Typical work includes writing hard prompts, producing grading rubrics, ranking competing answers and reviewing model reasoning.
Contributors are paid for approved work each week, with rewards that scale with the quality of their output.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
