About Me

Pingzhi Tang Portrait

I am Pingzhi Tang, an undergraduate student in the General Artificial Intelligence Experimental Program (Tong Class) at Peking University.

With a major GPA of 3.92/4.00, my research centers on making foundation models scalable and accessible by improving their computational efficiency. I’m particularly interested in next-gen model architectures, efficient inference, and reasoning & reinforcement learning.

Beyond the academia, I am a photography enthusiast📸 and film lover🎞️.

Selected Publications

Fanxu Meng*, Pingzhi Tang*, Zengwei Yao, Xing Sun, Muhan Zhang

Proposed a method to transform standard multi-head attention into multi-head latent attention, achieving up to 11x inference acceleration with negligible loss.

Fanxu Meng, Pingzhi Tang, Fan Jiang, Muhan Zhang

Developed a novel large model pruning and fine-tuning method using cross-layer singular value decomposition.

Yiding Wang, Fanxu Meng, Xuefeng Zhang, Fan Jiang, Pingzhi Tang, Muhan Zhang

Invented a distributed PEFT method for LLMs that increases update flexibility by assigning different weight components to each GPU.
