Zixuan Li

Zixuan Li is Z.ai's Head of Global Ecosystem and the company's primary Western-facing voice, having appeared across Manifold, ChinaTalk, The Cognitive Revolution, and High Capacity to explain how a Chinese open-source lab competes at the frontier — from GLM-5.1's agentic coding and long-horizon task capabilities to the three failure modes (goal drift, error accumulation, no pivot) that make long-horizon agent tasks hard. Attend his session for a practitioner-level view of what it takes to build and ship production-grade open-source LLMs from inside one of China's top AI labs.
