Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYixuan Zhai is a software engineer and founder specializing in real-time voice AI and multi-agent orchestration, with nine years building large-scale distributed systems at Meta and Twitter. As Lead Maintainer of AG2 (formerly AutoGen) and organizer of MassGen, he drives open-source roadmaps for sequential/group/async chat and heterogeneous LLM integrations across OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic. He founded Bodhi Agent to deliver "zero-barrier" phone-accessible voice AI, inventing a non-blocking voice engine that decouples conversation from heavy background work and achieves sub-millisecond planning latency via direct WebSocket integrations. At Twitter he architected cost-saving infrastructure that eliminated roughly $95M in annual spend (about $56M directly attributed to his designs) and built core Ads indexing and databus systems processing millions of QPS. His PhD background in dynamic networks and online learning underpins a research-informed approach to low-latency, resilient systems. He’s energized by making agentic AI production-ready and by mentoring community contributors to bridge research, product, and real-world accessibility.
