Profile: https://flows.cv/stephenyang1

I'm interested in LLMs and agents. I'm currently on leave from Stanford to work on reinforcement learning environments for software engineering at mechanize.work.

Previously, my research agenda lay at the intersection of technological innovation, particularly patents, with AI. In the past, I have competed nationally in mathematics olympiads and in policy debate.

This is a personal account. All views expressed are solely my own and do not reflect any stance, official or unofficial, of any organization with which I am affiliated.
