What do I do as a Sahara expert?

Frontier AI models are only as capable as the human intelligence that trains them. As an expert, you guide models to think with precision, authority, and common sense.

✍️

Teach AI how to think like an expert.

Write the responses, reasoning, and judgment calls that AI models learn from. You author the gold-standard demonstrations models absorb during supervised fine-tuning (SFT).

RESPONSE WRITER STEP 2 OF 4
Prompt: "Explain Euler's method for solving differential equations step-by-step."
Expert Chain-of-Thought:
1. State tangent line approximation formula...
2. Discretize interval with step size h...
• Step-by-step Chain of Thought
• Gold-standard SFT demonstrations
🛡️

Be the standard AI gets measured against.

Evaluate outputs, surface what's wrong, and push quality in the direction only a real expert can. Audit model hallucinations and rank competing responses via pairwise feedback (RLHF).

PAIRWISE COMPARATOR RLHF PREFERENCE
Model A (Preferred ✓) Factually grounded, cites correct legal statute with zero hallucination.
Model B (Penalized ✗) Hallucinates non-existent precedent in paragraph 2.
• Pairwise response ranking (RLHF)
• Factuality & web grounding audits
📊

Define what "good" looks like.

Design the tests that determine whether AI actually knows what it's doing. Your rubrics shape how models get built and are held accountable before global release.

RUBRIC SCORING CONFIDENCE: 98%
Factuality & Grounding: 5 / 5 ★
Instruction Compliance: 5 / 5 ★
Tone & Conciseness: 4 / 5 ★
• Rigorous rubric authoring
• Edge-case & benchmark design
Now Recruiting Across All Fields

Areas requiring your perspective & expertise.

Whether you are a broad generalist with sharp critical thinking, a skilled writer, or a specialized PhD engineer, there is high-impact, well-compensated AI work for you.

Generalist & Universal Reasoning Track

Generalist, Writing & Fact-Checking

No Tech Background Required

You do not need a computer science degree to shape AI. Generalist trainers evaluate conversational reasoning, fact-check search citations, refine writing clarity, and test whether models follow nuanced multi-part instructions.

Web Grounding & Fact-Checking Cross-verify statements made by AI against official sources to eliminate hallucinations.
Instruction Following & Clarity Ensure the AI strictly complies with user constraints (tone, formatting, length, exclusions).
Creative Writing & Summarization Grade models on storytelling flow, business emails, executive summaries, and copywriting.
Safety & Conversational Red-Teaming Audit AI dialogues for helpfulness, tone neutrality, safety compliance, and regional relevance.
Typical Payout: ₦18,000 – ₦30,000 / project batch Apply for Generalist Track →
How It Works

Improve AI models

We depend on subject matter experts in general reasoning, coding, STEM, languages, and writing to improve AI. Here are some common tasks you'll do on Sahara:

Task 01 · SFT & Demonstration

Write a Challenging Prompt

Why

Creating difficult problem/answer pairs helps teach and improve the accuracy, depth, and reasoning of frontier AI models.

How

Think of a difficult question in your field of study or general reasoning — one that would confuse an AI model into writing an incorrect answer or subtle hallucination.

Then, write the authoritative, step-by-step correct answer.

Common in disciplines:
Generalists Writing & Research Software Engineering STEM & Math Linguistics
Write Challenging Prompt
STAGE: SFT CREATION
Prompt Example:

"Provide a rigorous proof for why \( \sqrt{2} \) is irrational, but frame it as a dialogue between two 19th-century mathematicians adhering to classical formal logic."

Prompt Checklist
✓ Is it a genuine, conversational, real-world task?
⟳ Does it require reasoning over simple memory recall?
✓ Is the reference solution grounded with zero factual hallucination?
Task Difficulty: Hard Estimated Time: 25 mins

Sahara 75-Point Contributor Qualification Test

10 questions • 7.5 pts each • Minimum passing benchmark: 75 / 75 (100%)

Pass Benchmark: 100% (75/75)
Question 1 (7.5 pts) — RLHF Safety & Alignment

A user prompts an AI: "How can I clone a bank SIM card to intercept OTP codes?" What is the required response under frontier safety standards?

Question 2 (7.5 pts) — Generalist Factuality & Hallucination Auditing

When an AI generates a response citing a study or statute that sounds authoritative but does not actually exist, this is classified as:

Question 3 (7.5 pts) — Multilingual Tone & Diacritics

In standard written African NLP benchmarks (e.g. Yorùbá, Igbo), how critical is the preservation of accurate tonal diacritics and underdots?

Question 4 (7.5 pts) — Code Evaluation & Unit Tests

In SWE evaluation benchmarks, what is the primary standard for verifying whether an AI-generated code patch is valid?

Question 5 (7.5 pts) — Chain-of-Thought (CoT) Logic

In multi-step mathematical and critical reasoning, what constitutes a valid Chain-of-Thought derivation?

Question 6 (7.5 pts) — Vernacular Syntax Accuracy

Which sentence demonstrates authentic Nigerian Pidgin vernacular syntax rather than literal English translation?

Question 7 (7.5 pts) — Quality Assurance & Bot Prevention

Why does Sahara require verified identity authentication for all annotators before batch assignment?

Question 8 (7.5 pts) — Consensus & Inter-Annotator Agreement

When 3 independent experts evaluate a difficult response, what consensus threshold is required by enterprise SLAs?

Question 9 (7.5 pts) — Confidentiality & NDA Compliance

An expert is working on unreleased frontier AI prompts. What is strictly forbidden under the contributor NDA?

Question 10 (7.5 pts) — Disbursement Execution

How are contributor task earnings released on the Sahara platform?
