Description
Shunyu Yao’s site showcases his work as a researcher at OpenAI, focusing on “agents” — systems that perceive, reason, and take actions in digital environments. The site features his selected publications, including papers such as ReAct, Tree of Thoughts, Deep Research, and SWE-agent, along with links to repo, talks, benchmarks, and blog posts. It reflects an overarching interest in how language models can be structured not just to predict text, but to act, interact, evaluate, and generalize — moving toward agents that integrate reasoning and action. The writing and work are forward-looking, engaging questions about what constitutes evaluation, how digital environments should be designed, and what the “second half” of AI might look like.
