BEIHANG AI LAB · BEIJING

Intelligence, engineered to scale.

We study learning, reasoning, agents, and optimization — building AI systems that can learn from experience, reason about difficult problems, and act effectively in the world.

01 / ABOUT

We work at the boundary of learning, reasoning, and optimization.

Beihang AI Lab is an open research group focused on capable AI systems and the principles behind them. Our work ranges from reinforcement learning and foundation models to embodied intelligence and large-scale combinatorial optimization.

01

Simple ideas

We prefer clear mechanisms over unnecessary complexity.

02

Strong evidence

We value careful experiments, reproducibility, and honest analysis.

03

Systems that scale

We care about methods that remain useful as models, data, and problem sizes grow.

02 / RESEARCH

Research directions

Four connected directions, one goal: building more capable and useful intelligent systems.

01

Reinforcement Learning

Agents that learn efficiently, reason over long horizons, and improve through interaction with complex environments.

RLAgentsDecision Making
02

Foundation Models & Alignment

Post-training, alignment, reasoning, and reliable adaptation for increasingly capable foundation models.

03

Embodied Intelligence

World models and embodied agents that connect perception, memory, planning, and action in the physical world.

04

Combinatorial Optimization

Learning-based and training-free methods for large-scale routing and other structured optimization problems.
