About

I am a member of technical staff at xAI. My research interests include machine learning systems, large language models, compilers, and distributed systems.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Ion Stoica and Joseph E. Gonzalez. I was honored to receive the Meta PhD Fellowship and the a16z Open Source AI Grant in recognition of my innovative research and impactful open-source projects. I also co-founded the non-profit organization LMSYS.org to advance open large language model research. We have developed open models with millions of downloads, crowdsourced platforms with millions of users, and systems that are orders of magnitude faster.

The easiest way to reach me is via the SGLang Slack. We’re looking for open-source enthusiasts and learners to help build the SGLang project and community. Contact us on Slack, GitHub, or by email. If you’re a beginner and can commit 10-20 hours per week for at least six months, we can provide mentorship in machine learning systems.
