My current research focuses on AI infrastructure, particularly efficient execution environments for AI workloads, and unsupervised pretraining for world models. The first asks how model-generated tasks and tool calls can run safely, concurrently, and with low overhead; the second asks how environment structure can be learned from interaction data without task labels or rewards. Diffusion watermarking and faster diffusion sampling were earlier research projects.
I like cooking, especially baking and desserts. I built Zao because I did not want to touch my phone with oily hands while cooking. I keep the recipes I have made at wok.yuzhes.com.
I also play a lot of Minecraft and maintain RedScript and MapForge. The rest of my work is in the project archive.
I have a British Shorthair called . I am learning Japanese, which was also part of the original idea for Kotodama.

Research, papers, and patent
Efficient execution environments for AI workloads
Current research · AI infrastructure · Runtime / WASM / DAG
Studies how model-generated dynamic tasks can be compiled and executed safely in parallel while controlling isolation boundaries, tool capabilities, scheduling overhead, and failure recovery.
Latent Rules Without Rewards: Unsupervised Environment Identification for Continual RL
Current research · Under review · Unsupervised world-model pretraining
Studies how latent rule representations of environment structure can be learned from interaction trajectories without task labels or rewards, then used for environment identification and transfer.
