Steering Committee

One committee, two complementary tracks. The committee aligns long-range project direction across engineering practice and academic research.

01
Engineering & industry

Industry Track

Leads engineering direction and decides where frontier research becomes reliable, production-grade infrastructure.

  • 01Project architecture and engineering evolution
  • 02Research-to-production priorities
  • 03Ecosystem, release, and adoption strategy

Xunzhuo Liu

Industry Track
@AMD

LLM routing builder at vLLM.

Huamin Chen

Industry Track
@Microsoft

Long-term incubator of frontier infrastructure and AI systems across cloud-native platforms, open-source ecosystems, and model-serving stacks.

02
Research & academia

Academic Track

Advances frontier research around semantic routing and works with engineering to turn evidence into shared project direction.

  • 01Research agenda and scientific quality
  • 02Evaluation, publication, and external collaboration
  • 03Translation of research into project capabilities
