Xiaoyuan Guo is a research engineer specializing in Generative AI and LLM post-training with nine years of experience bridging cutting-edge research and production at Google DeepMind and Google. She has driven measurable improvements in code-generation systems like Google BQSQL through SFT, RL, and distillation, and leads large-scale open-source model training to broaden access to high-performance AI. Her background spans multimodal learning and computer vision—from moonshot projects at X to applied agricultural and sustainability work at Mineral.ai—grounded in a Ph.D. focused on medical imaging and vision–language integration. Known for translating research into real-world impact, she combines deep academic rigor with hands-on engineering to optimize model quality and training efficiency. An interesting thread through her career is applying open-vocabulary and robustness techniques from vision research to challenging domain-specific and low-data settings.
