Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaokai Zhang is a software engineer and ML researcher pursuing an MS at Carnegie Mellon, with dual BS degrees from UIUC and Zhejiang University and a decade of practical engineering experience. He has driven cutting-edge long-context LLM and agent research at Microsoft Research Asia—co-leading projects like LoongRL (oral at ICLR 2026) and LongRoPE2 (ICML 2025) that push context lengths to 128k+ and even millions of tokens—while also delivering production-ready recommendation LLMs and SFT pipelines. At CMU he builds scalable, automatically verifiable repository-level task synthesis and test-time-training methods to improve code-generation agents, and he is currently applying those agent skills at NVIDIA. His work blends systems-level efficiency (heterogeneous accelerator-aware training) with robustness and evaluation rigor (SORRY-Bench), reflecting a rare mix of applied research and production engineering. Notably, he has a track record of turning novel RL/LLM recipes into reproducible, scalable artifacts that outperform much larger models on long-reasoning benchmarks.
