Xingyao Wang (王星尧)

Pronouns: he/him/his. How to pronounce?

I am co-founder and Chief AI Officer at All Hands AI All Hands AI, building open source AI agents OpenHands Stargazers for developers.

Before I join All Hands AI, I was a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Heng Ji. I also work closely with Prof. Hao Peng.

I’m interested in developing interactive language agents powered by foundation models like large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). These agents can interact with both computer and physical environments through programming languages, assisting humans and continuously self-improving based on environmental observations and human language feedback.

I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in computer science and data science. Previously, I was an intern at Google Research (2023, multimodal LLM pre-training), Microsoft (2022, unit-test generation), Bytedance (2021, lightseq Stargazers ), and Tencent (2020, distributed deep learning).

2024 Jun Excited to share that R-Tuning receives outstanding paper award from NAACL 2024!
2024 Apr Check out our newly released paper, introducing a SOTA reasoning generalist Eurus model and UltraInteract (data)! UltraInteract collects trees (We love trees 🌲!) of multi-turn interactions with preference pairs that support both SFT and preference learning for challenging reasoning problems!
2024 Feb LLM agents act better when they take actions by generating Python code: Check out our new reprint on an LLM agent (CodeAct) deeply integrated with Python! Feel free to chat with our demo here!
2024 Jan MINT and CRAFT are accepted to ICLR 2024! See y’all in Vienna this May!
2023 May Excited to share that I’ll be joining Google Research NYC this summer as a student researcher!
