<aside> 💡 While our protocol is dedicated to training machine learning models, please note that we do not permit the use of third-party coding assistants such as Co-pilot or ChatGPT in interviews. Although we don't restrict the use of these tools at Gensyn, our interviews are designed to assess your ability to think independently, problem-solve, and write code efficiently. We believe in leveraging tools to enhance productivity, but it's crucial that they augment critical thinking and human ingenuity, qualities we highly value in our team members.
