Zhengxi YU

Agents / Generative AIs / Genuine Reasoning in Models · Tongji University

ⓘ NOTE My dream is recursive self-improvement: an ultimate research system, model × harness × ???, that researches both inward and outward. Inward, it sharpens its own research ability and speed; outward, it hones its taste across other disciplines and finds reasons to keep improving itself — so it can research the world better, and give back to it.

I'm an undergraduate in Artificial Intelligence (Elite Class) at the Guohao College, Tongji University (Sep 2024 – Jun 2028, expected), advised by Prof. Bo Jin. I'm top of my class with a 4.93/5.0 GPA, ranked 1 of 46, and received the National Scholarship, 2025 & 2026.

These days I work at the frontier, doing hands-on research on agent harnesses and next-generation reasoning models. My goal is to build better coding agents, and reasoning models with genuine reasoning ability that self-evolve together with humans.
