Yang Qiu
Engineering rigor, in service of machine intelligence.
Across Baidu, Huawei and Microsoft, he has worked at the frontier of scale and complexity — from a petabyte-scale data platform and an ads network spanning more than a hundred countries, to the AI infrastructure behind LLM training and inference for OpenAI and Microsoft.
Today he is Co-Founder and CTO of Haiclaud, leading the development of the desktop agent MoiAI, and advises companies on the architecture and strategy of becoming AI-native.

Haiclaud · 2025 – now
MoiAI: an agent that runs on your machine
A desktop AI agent for professionals, local and private, on macOS, Windows and the web. Execution loop, skill framework, inference scheduling and telemetry — all built from first principles.
Microsoft · AI Platform
The groundwork of large models
Helped build the infrastructure behind OpenAI and Microsoft models: a three-tier checkpoint store that keeps hyperscale training continuous (Nebula), and global rate limiting and quotas that keep inference stable (MaaS).
Microsoft · M365 Copilot
The runtime of Copilot
Owned the runtime architecture of the Microsoft 365 Copilot Platform — orchestration, LLM integration and compliance — bringing the assistant into the daily flow of Word, Excel, Teams and Outlook.
Huawei · 2012 Labs
HarmonyOS IDE and Personal DevCloud
Shaped the engineering architecture of the HarmonyOS IDE through its on-schedule bring-up, and led a developer cloud that cut a new engineer’s path to first commit from days to ten minutes.
Baidu
Data and ads for the mobile era
Designed the storage architecture of Baidu’s mobile data platform and led three generations of the Fengchao mobile ads system through the rapid rise of the mobile internet.
Experience
Haiclaud Technology Limited (Hong Kong)
Nov 2025 – PresentCo-Founder / CTO
Leads the technical architecture and 0-to-1 delivery of MoiAI, and owns enterprise AI-native transformation — scaling LLM and agent capabilities across R&D, design, e-commerce, content production and supply chain.
MoiAI — desktop AI agent (product & technical architecture)
A desktop AI agent for professionals with local, private execution across H5, macOS and Windows (live.moi-ai.com).
- Benchmarked against Claude’s Skill framework and implemented its complete skill capabilities, building a continuously evolving agent ecosystem.
- Re-architected the agent pipeline (planning → tool invocation → execution → feedback), improving response speed and multi-step task performance.
- Designed inference scheduling for high-concurrency, high-TPM workloads.
- Reduced labor cost through automated task orchestration and multi-agent collaboration.
- Owned telemetry end to end, closing the collect–analyze–iterate loop.
Enterprise AI-native transformation
- Leads enterprise-wide transformation centered on LLMs and agents across the full value chain.
- Built the “Vibe Coding” AI engineering team from 0 — an “LLM + AI pair-programming” process that compresses delivery from weeks to days.
- Brought frontier models to design, e-commerce and short-video channels (Douyin, Kuaishou) for image and video generation at scale.
- Built an intelligent supply-chain system for demand forecasting, production planning and scheduling.
- Established unified AI application and data governance with reusable enterprise AI assets.
