​What is ARENA?
ARENA (Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator) is an ML boot camp focused on AI safety. The program's goal is to develop skills in ML engineering and general software engineering practices. Participants work through ML programming exercises spanning deep learning fundamentals, transformers, mechanistic interpretability, reinforcement learning, and LLM evaluations.

​What do we offer?
Since admission to the official program is very restricted, we plan to run a (reduced) local instance of the ARENA program in Zürich this semester! In particular, we will run bi-weekly meetings (in-person and remotely) on Saturdays from 10 am until 1 pm, where people work on the material autonomously and can discuss the material as well as any questions.

​Who can join?
We welcome applicants who care about AI safety and have some experience in math and coding skills (particularly in Python). The program is open to individuals at various experience levels, from students to graduates and professionals. It is particularly suitable for those interested in leveling up their coding/ML skills and who are preparing for research engineering roles in prominent AI safety organizations.

​Can I join remotely?
Yes, we plan to allow people to join remotely. We're currently figuring out how this can be done best. Check this message again closer to the event!
