Qi Qi is a research scientist with a decade of experience building multimodal AI systems, currently at Meta's Super-intelligence Lab focused on long-horizon agentic RL and multimodal LLMs. Prior roles at TikTok, Apple, and Netflix show a blend of production-facing ML engineering and fairness-focused computer vision research, including deploying YOLO-based pipelines that meet hardware constraints while preserving accuracy. Their work bridges cutting-edge research and pragmatic system design—improving identity robustness and platform governance models when demographic signals are unavailable. A PhD candidate from University of Iowa with earlier training at USTC, Qi brings deep academic rigor alongside hands-on product impact. The GitHub motto "Jump out of local minima" reflects a practical mindset for escaping suboptimal solutions in both algorithms and real-world systems.
