RAGEN-2: Reasoning Collapse in Agentic RL
Why agentic RL reasoning collapses into templates, and how to catch it.
You found everything. This is the hidden note: put a secret here — an unreleased song, a photo, a thank-you.
I train foundation models at Apple.
Welcome to my journey.I'm a research engineer improving foundation models, with a focus on agentic RL post-training. I enjoy doing research at the frontier of human knowledge, and I like it even more when it makes an impact in real-world products.
Curiosity drives me day to day. Humanity and kindness are what I hope is left when the work is done. I believe AI should bring us closer and add warmth to the world.
Outside of work, I'm a musician. I play keys in a pop band called ABT. We were the first Bay Area band to ever perform at Anime Expo, the largest anime convention in North America.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, composing and making piano covers, and hunting for good food.
I'm interested in bridging frontier research and real-world applications at scale, and in pointing that work toward a larger positive social impact. My experience spans post-training infrastructure, RL, recursive self-improvement, and multimodal intelligence.

One of the first open-source infrastructures for multi-turn RL training.
This part is under construction. Code agents are reshaping how engineering gets done, and I'm busy building the next big thing.

Happy to talk about research, startup ideas, music, games, cat videos, or good food :P
I'm always open to meeting new people and helping where I can.
