Finally seeing a familiar face among the researchers at @SentientAGI! Meet Peiyao Sheng, who’s leading the charge on secure and trustworthy AI agents in open networks. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from UIUC under Pramod Viswanath, was a visiting researcher at Princeton University, and graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s ACM Honors Class for her undergrad. As one of the earliest researchers on the Sentient team, she focuses on 'decentralized systems × AI agents.' Tech Contributions ————————————————————————— At Sentient, she worked on OML 1.0, using 'model fingerprinting' to verify model ownership. She also contributed to LiveCodeBench Pro, which tests real-world reasoning capabilities of models through practical coding challenges. Cryptoeconomics Expertise ————————————————————————— Her core work covers security and forensics in distributed ledgers: - Rollup Proof of Diligence - BFT Protocol Forensics - TrustBoost Cross-Chain Trust - ACeD Data Availability Oracle - Unconditionally Secure Light Clients - Bandwidth Backhaul Proof (NDSS '24) - Proof of Location (PoLoc) ————————————————————————— @SentientAGI is building a cryptographic foundation that’s auditable and verifiable, enabling secure scalability for open models and AI agents.
