Young Scientist at Shanghai AI Laboratory and Head of the Agent Center

Bo Zhang is a Young Scientist at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Head of the Agent Center. His research focuses on general-purpose agents, multimodal reasoning models, and AI-driven autonomous scientific discovery. He has published more than 70 papers in top international conferences and journals, including CVPR, ICLR, and IEEE T-PAMI, with nearly 6,000 citations on Google Scholar. He leads the development of the open-source agent model Agents-A1, which quickly gained global attention among developers and was recognized as “the best-performing 35B MoE model for long-horizon agent tasks.” A wide range of community-derived and adapted versions have emerged, and within less than 10 days of its release, the Agents-A1 model series surpassed 200,000 downloads. It was also selected for the International Public AI Product Landscape released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). In addition, he has led the development of the multi-agent autonomous scientific discovery framework InternAgent and the Intern-Discovery scientific discovery platform, both unveiled at WAIC 2025. These achievements have been widely covered by authoritative media outlets including Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily, Xinmin Evening News, and MIT Technology Review, generating more than one million views. Based on the platform, his team collaborated with Lingang Laboratory to develop OriGene, successfully identifying two novel targets, GPR160 and ARG2.
