Xuehai Pan is a Ph.D. candidate at Peking University and a seasoned engineer with a decade of experience building RL/agent infrastructure and distributed AI systems. Currently leading Agent/RL infrastructure at DeepSeek AI after roles at Moonshot AI and Baichuan, he combines research rigour in multi-agent RL and game theory with production-grade engineering for large-scale RL and LLM alignment. An active open-source contributor, Xuehai has touched foundational projects—from CPython core and PyTorch compilation to testing in OpenAI Gym and build/devops work in Hugging Face Transformers—demonstrating both low-level systems skill and ML stack fluency. He also authors practical tooling like nvitop for GPU process visibility and has improved RLlib and Ray components, revealing a knack for making complex compute and infra observable and reliable. Based in Beijing, he blends academic depth with hands-on DevOps and compiler work, and often surfaces subtle correctness and performance fixes that improve robustness at scale.

An interactive NVIDIA-GPU process viewer and beyond, the one-stop solution for GPU process management.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:10 releases, 3 reviews, 648 commits in 2 years
Contributions summary:Xuehai added a Python implementation of `nvidia-smi` using the `pynvml` library. This involved creating a Python script to display NVIDIA GPU process information, including memory usage, GPU utilization, and other metrics. The commits reflect refactoring and format updates to the initial implementation, adding features like compact mode and color support to the output. The work also included setting thresholds for memory and GPU utilization to aid in understanding system load, and improvements like tree-view and environment variable handling.
OmniSafe is an infrastructural framework for accelerating SafeRL research.
Role in this project:
Technical Writer
Contributions:190 reviews, 7 commits, 23 PRs in 2 months
Contributions summary:Xuehai's commits primarily focus on updating and expanding the documentation within the OmniSafe repository. They added introductory tutorials, provided explanations of core concepts, and incorporated visual elements like cards and tab-sets to improve readability. The user also updated the documentation for specific algorithms such as FOCOPS and PCPO, and ensured that the documentation remained accurate by refactoring the packaging structure and updating the linter settings.
