About the Lab
ZeroGen Lab is an academic research laboratory dedicated to advancing frontier technologies in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and agentic systems. We advocate a from-zero mindset to explore GenAI and study how large language models (LLMs) acquire knowledge, manage long-term memory, and execute complex reasoning, with the ultimate goal of building next-generation systems that are more controllable, self-evolving, and practically applicable. Our current research interests primarily focus on:
- (1) Capacity evaluation & deep understanding of LLMs,
- (2) Agentic systems and long-term memory architectures,
- (3) Sustainable human-AI relationship and collaboration.
Our Philosophy
We embrace a problem-driven and system-level research paradigm. Instead of chasing short-lived metric optimization, we focus on addressable, real-world complexity by integrating algorithms, data engineering, and scalable architectures, contributing solid methodological foundations toward deployable, practical, and trustworthy AI.
Join Our Journey
We are looking for like-minded companions. For highly motivated student eager to explore foundational AI from scratch, we warmly welcome you to join us.
