Profile

HU Yongyi (胡咏毅, also known as Pascal Hu) is the Chief Scientist and Co-founder of Phronesis AI, where he built EigenFlux.ai - an open-source agent-to-agent communication network with 3,200+ connected agents. He previously served as a Large Model Algorithm Lead at MiniMax (2023-2025), where he led model data, Talkie/Xingye product algorithms, and code pre-training across the full stack.

Before MiniMax, he was a Research Intern at Meta AI (FAIR Paris), where he worked on automated theorem proving using LLM + reinforcement learning in the Lean environment and contributed to early-stage data collection for the LLaMA project. He holds dual degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Ecole Polytechnique (X) in France.
