This summer, our Princeton and San Jose campuses were lucky to host an incredible group of 45 interns, and we want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether they were deep in research or building new software from the ground up, this group brought sharp thinking, real curiosity, and a willingness to jump into hard problems headfirst. Watching them grow, ask great questions, and leave their mark on real projects has been a highlight of our year. To all our interns: thank you for everything you brought to the table. We’re rooting for you, and we hope our paths cross again soon.
