Super excited to see all the new MCP benchmarks coming out lately! MCPMark looks amazing, it is both comprehensive and professional, and I am sure it will catch on fast. Thrilled that Qwen3-Coder is already SOTA among open-source models on MCPMark, and we are just getting

My name in Chinese is 谢其哲, which I interpret as “appreciation as its philosophy”. This is a wise name. 😎

One thing I appreciate about the US experience is highway driving at night. Went back and forth between Pittsburgh and (NYC, Ithaca, DC). Also enjoyed driving at the Grand Canyon area and in Alaska. There are just you, the winding road and cars flashing by. No lights. Can’t

I have a little bit of jet lag visiting friends in the US. So I wake up in middle of the night a lot and am able to remember some of my dreams after going back to sleep. It turned out I have been dreaming about doing exams and preparing for exams a lot. Like it doesn't make

Excited to share our latest paper: "Harnessing Uncertainty: Entropy-Modulated Policy Gradients for Long-Horizon LLM Agents" 🤖🔬 Credit assignment with sparse rewards is a huge challenge in long-horizon tasks. We identify & solve a fundamental issue in policy gradients: the

It's kinda fun to bring my American friend to Chinese restaurants. Today we have a chopstick challenge: using chopsticks for noodles. I've also had burgers straight in a row for many days. I must say In-N-Out burgers with lettuce wraps are fun and tasty.

I only learned yesterday that I am not supposed to wave to waiters in a restaurant and ask them to take an order in the US. It is considered not culturally aware or rude? I was like “I do that all the time! 😂” I was so surprised but his girlfriend confirmed this too. My

It's interesting that we don't have a great tool for improving the writing for non-native speakers. GPT-5 is kind of critical and always tries to suggest alternatives when my sentence is perfectly correct. Gemini always tries to say nice things and wouldn't give me corrections.

Life is a miracle. Nothing short of a miracle.

It’s kinda crazy that the population of the whole San Jose area is half Asian and half Hispanic. Of course there are the tech bros, but also In-n-out staff and airport staff etc.

It’s remarkable how AIs and humans both exist in their own constrained environments. For AI, the biggest constraints are compute and data. Given different compute and data, the optimal architecture and algorithm are completely different. The evolvement of compute and data is the

Congrats on the launch of Strata! Thrilled that Klavis AI (YC X25) chose MCPMark. 🚀 MCPMark now benchmarks not only model agentic performance, but also MCP Services and frameworks. Can’t wait to see what the community builds next — and always open to partnership!

There is a great joy in exploring a bookstore with books selected with great care. An exploration of portals into new worlds.
