Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoberta Raileanu is an AI researcher and team lead with a decade of experience building foundation models, LLM tool use, and open-ended learning systems at top labs including Meta and DeepMind. She spearheaded Meta’s AI Engineer & AI Scientist initiatives, led the Llama-3 tool-use efforts, and co-authored influential projects like MLGym, Toolformer, Rainbow Teaming, NetHack, and XLand that bridge RL and LLM agents. Her work spans the full stack from infrastructure and human data collection to SFT/DPO/RLHF training, and has directly enabled products used by hundreds of millions of users. A PhD from NYU on generalization in deep RL and an Honorary Lectureship at UCL, she combines rigorous academic grounding with production impact and cross-org coordination. Less obvious: her early background in astrophysics and international science olympiads reflects a long-standing aptitude for complex, multi-scale problem solving applied now to AI systems.
