Description from the channel

What does building a career in ML actually looks like in 2026, beyond the LinkedIn highlights and the standard advice? This panel brings together people who took genuinely different routes into the field and asks them to be honest about all of it. Featuring Elizabeth Lingg (Director of Applied Research, Contextual AI), Puyuan Peng (Researcher, Meta Superintelligence Lab), and Sreyan Ghosh (Research Scientist, Google DeepMind). This session is hosted as part of Cohere Labs Open Science Community's ML Summer School. At Cohere Labs Open Science Community, we believe the future of machine learning isn’t gated by credentials, borders, or budgets, it’s built in open collaboration, powered by curiosity, and made stronger through community. This summer, we’re excited for the return of Cohere Labs Open Science Community Summer School, a learning initiative featuring some of the leading minds in machine learning from Meta, Google DeepMind, Cohere Labs and more. This initiative reflects the core mission of Cohere Labs: supporting fundamental research, expanding access, and enabling the next generation of ML thinkers — regardless of where they start. We are very grateful to our community leads for organizing this series of events!
