Handshake

Introducing Handshake AI—the most ambitious chapter in our story. We leverage the scale of the largest early career network to source, train, and manage domain experts who test and challenge frontier models to failure for the top AI labs.

We came to Seoul for #ICML. We stayed for the tteokbokki! Last night we hosted a group of researchers at Gwangjang Market, one of Seoul's oldest night markets, for a private food tour. We ate our way through the stalls, and yes, it lived up to every bit of the hype. But the best part wasn't the food. It was watching some of the sharpest minds in ML talk shop over kimbap, mandu, and Kalguksu. Events like these are always a great reminder that behind the world’s best AI systems are incredible humans making it all possible! Until the next one. 🌙

Day 1 @icmlconf is officially in the books! 🇰🇷 The Handshake AI booth was buzzing all day long with great conversations, sharp questions, and even sharper minds. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! Haven't made it by yet? We're just getting started. Swing by booth B600 on Day 2. We'd love to meet you. 👋 See you tomorrow, Seoul!

@joinHandshake HELP! Please! I can't seem to reach anyone at Handshake. My animal rescue org has had an employer account for several years but the email associated with the account became corrupted and non-functional.

We’re in the middle of its biggest skills shift ever. Today, Handshake acquires Uplimit, the leading AI-native learning platform. Together, we're building toward the destination for AI-era talent development. Read more: bit.ly/4ePWvaH

We worked with parents and professionals in child-protection and clinical psychology to test 7 frontier AI models on child safety scenarios that go beyond the frequent focus on explicit content. The parents catch what standards evaluations don't, and the professionals bring real, field experience to ground the approach in expertise. Failure rates: 2% to 58%. That's not a rounding error. That's a meaningful gap between what these systems can and can't catch — before harm becomes obvious. Our team built the benchmark to make that measurable. Open to the whole industry. 👇

This summer, Handshake is partnering with @GeminiApp to let students and recent alumni try Google AI Plus for one year on us. joinhandshake.com/blog/students/…

Meet our Handshake AI summer intern class. They found us on Handshake. Now they're building what's next on it. Welcome to the team. 🙌

@1_winolivia Hi @1_winolivia - can you please reach out to our team at fellow-support@joinhandshake.com about this? They can take a look at this for you. Thank you!

@joinHandshake Hello, I have been doing tasks, but my dashboard does not seem to be updating. My completed work and payment information are not reflecting properly. I wanted to know if there is currently a system update or technical issue affecting dashboards/payment tracking.

We built a better way to grade agentic work. Gandalf is a reactive agent-as-judge that inspects files, tool state, and artifacts the same way a human expert would. On our banking benchmark, even the cheapest Gandalf config beat the next-best verifier at ~10x lower cost. Verifier architecture matters more than the model behind it. 👇 More from @AnishAthalye

Agent evals are becoming foundational infrastructure. @jomulr joined @CAISconf’s RLEval workshop to share Handshake’s perspective on RL environments, evaluation, and why @harborframework is emerging as the framework.

Kudos to @anishathalye and @jomulr for co-chairing the RL agentic benchmarks workshop track for the inaugural ACM CAIS conference this week. We presented two separate Handshake AI Research papers in: (1) AI agentic systems - first evaluation of grader frameworks, and (2) AI benchmarks - first investment banking benchmark. Their posters had big crowds all afternoon. Great job!

This spring, we worked with @OpenAI to launch the Codex Creator Challenge. More than 1,500 students built something on their own terms, driven by their own ideas. That kind of confidence and creative ownership is exactly what the most forward-thinking employers are hiring for. Explore what they built: joinhandshake.com/blog/students/…

Demo gods were on my side for this guest lecture on AI Agent Security at @MIT_CSAIL: I was able to show a prompt injection attack against @AnthropicAI's Opus 4.6 model. Agent security is still an unsolved problem!

@AbiodunnS @heemyrannnnnn Hi @AbiodunnS - Handshake AI is U.S. only at the moment but we hope to be expanding soon! Stay tuned.

@joinHandshake @heemyrannnnnn What about Canada? And I mean Handshake AI. Is it still available to just US residents alone?

Is @joinHandshake available in the uk

@TanagerDon Hi Don, thanks for contacting Handshake Support. Please open the chatbot at the bottom right of support.joinhandshake.com/hc/en-us and ask it to create a new support ticket. From there, we can review your account status. We look forward to hearing from you.

@joinHandshake - it's been ten days and three support emails with NO human response. I'm trying to post internships but can't. Who do I call? Someone please help me. Two students are going to miss out because of this.

@themocide Hello! You can learn more here: Getting Started with Handshake (support.joinhandshake.com/hc/en-us/artic…) and joinhandshake.com/careers/job/.
