Chester Hu is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently based in Menlo Park and working as a Partner Engineer, AI at Meta. He blends machine learning engineering and frontend development, demonstrated by his implementation of a RAG chatbot using Llama 2—building the Gradio UI, integrating a text-generation-inference server, and wiring LangChain for retrieval. Chester focuses on practical, demo-driven solutions that make advanced models accessible to partners and developers. He brings production-minded instincts from both API and UI layers, enabling end-to-end ML experiences rather than isolated prototypes. Colleagues can expect a pragmatic engineer who translates cutting-edge research into interactive, usable tools for real-world workflows.

Contributions summary:Chengpeng implemented a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot example using Llama 2. They built the chatbot UI with Gradio, integrated it with a text-generation-inference API server, and integrated RAG capabilities using Langchain. The primary focus was on creating a functional and interactive demo showcasing how to build a chatbot capable of answering questions based on a user's own data, using the Llama 2 model.
