Zedian (Mark) Xiao
ML Researcher & Engineer

I enjoy envisioning the ideal future state and turning that vision into reality through continuous and thoughtful partnership with users. Previously I showed how to scale LLMs to learn from millions of human workflows and how to hot-swap knowledge via LoRA adapters.

I have obtained my MS in Computer Science from Stanford University, advised by Diyi Yang. And my BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill University, advised by Xue (Steve) Liu and Masoud Asgharian.

In my free time, you can find me tinkering with my espresso machine and discovering that red wines are not all the same over dinner with friends.

Happy to chat! 😊 → markxiao[at]stanford.edu
