Hi! I am Xeraphinite(pronunced: /sərɑˈfiənət/)!
I am a novice researcher, a CJK language drifter, and junior design engineer. Outside of doing research and hacking, I am a rhythm game maniac.
- 🌏 Languages: 中文 (zh-CN, native), 粤语 (zh-yue, native), English (en-US), 日本語 (ja-JP, JLPT N1), 한국어 (ko-kr, basic), Teochew Dialect (basic);
- ⌨ Prefered Programming Languages: TypeScript/Javascript, Python, Rust;
- 👀 Research Interest: UI/UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Large Language Models;
Also feel free to contact with me via Email and BlueSky!
Although all of them are work in progress, small artifacts. Here are the projects I actively developing (with Codex):
-
*play*: Intelligent CAD run in your terminal. Bring your own key and happy vibe CADing; - autogsm: An experimental autoresearch try on Qwen-3.5-2b / Qwen-3.5-0.8b. Automatically optimize GSM8k, which is a saturated benchmark but still kinds-of-hard for small models;
- melantonin: My actively developed blog. I would provide some draft or in-progress writings in here also.
Beyond research and coding, my interests span a broad spectrum of (indoor) subjects including playing arcade rhythm games, drifting in CJK languages, and consuming CJK-specific media.
I am fascinated with both arcade rhythm games (although I barely have time to play...). I have played BEMANI games like Beatmania IIDX, pop’n music and Sound Voltex, PC games such as DJMAX Respect V, EZ2ON, (and previously OSU!), and mobile games like Arcaea.
Languages are another part of my life. I grew up speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, and Teochew Dialect, studied Japanese to JLPT N1, and recently started learning Korean and Hokkien. I hope one day I can move smoothly between all CJK languages, both in daily life and in research without barriers.
As an indoor nerd, I spent lots of my precious time in consuming diverse media contents. For music, I prefers to listen K-pop, J-pop, VOCALOID, and doujin music. And for podcasts, movies, dramas, books, as well as other games, I also mainly focused on CJK regions. Recently, I enjoyed watching TXQ Fiction and still waiting for Kirby Air Riders since I have not Nintendo Switch 2 yet. The adorable Kirby always got my attention 😇. I am also eagering for Hamaguchi Ryusuke's new film.
