Speaker Spotlight: Zihan Wang @wzenus
What happens when some of the world’s most advanced AI research leaves the lab and starts powering real-world agents?
Zihan Wang is CTO at O2 AI, where he’s building the next generation of agentic AI systems.
Previously at DeepSeek, he helped develop frontier foundation models and went on to create RAGEN — the first successful reproduction of DeepSeek-R1 RL agents.
CTO, O2 AI
Former DeepSeek researcher; co-authored DeepSeek-V2 (236B MoE)
Northwestern University PhD focused on agentic reinforcement learning under Manling Li
As AI shifts from chatbots to autonomous agents, researchers turning frontier breakthroughs into deployable systems will define what comes next.
Hear Zihan on stage at AGI Summit SF 2026.
