Alex Gao developed and maintained the kilian-group/phantom-wiki repository, delivering a robust framework for large language model evaluation and data generation. Over six months, Alex engineered asynchronous LLM workflows, unified multi-model support, and implemented advanced prompt engineering for chain-of-thought and zero-shot reasoning. Using Python and Bash, he refactored backend systems for reliability, introduced rate-limiting and concurrency controls, and expanded configuration tooling with datascript and YAML. His work included rigorous testing, CI/CD integration, and detailed documentation, resulting in a maintainable, scalable codebase. The depth of engineering addressed reproducibility, performance, and developer productivity, supporting both research and production deployment needs.

December 2024 highlights for kilian-group/phantom-wiki: Implemented foundational context-length enhancements and tooling improvements, unified LLM interfacing and throttling, expanded zero-shot API capabilities, and strengthened data modeling and QA. Key initiatives included enabling None default for max_model_len to maximize context, updating run_name, and adding a cross-model prediction generator along with rate throttling for Gemini. Refactored LLM interfaces to consolidate auto-throttling across Gemini, GPT, and Claude, with an LLMChat interface for VLLM models. Expanded zero-shot tooling with API support and Slurm scripts, while removing legacy run_local workflows. Strengthened QA with extensive test coverage (depth containment, depth-10 templates) and updated evaluation/testing scripts. Added gender as a first-class data attribute and improved evaluation data integration and plots. Kept maintenance robust with .gitignore adjustments and documentation refinements.

November 2024 (2024-11): Matured Prolog integration and tooling (pyswip) with migration scaffolding and a DB refactor; expanded core data generation (family facts, people, jobs, hobbies) and Prolog population. Implemented question generation with base/derived splits and basic zero-shot evaluation; moved article generation into tests; improved documentation and CI-readiness. Snapshotting of clauses enabled via save/load; macro-based generation and extensive code cleanup/testing infrastructure. Enabled dataset sharing to HuggingFace and advanced multi-model inference readiness (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, vLLM) with reproducibility controls, token-usage logging, and API rate throttling; improved CLI/api ergonomics and data normalization.

In October 2024, focused on cleaning up generated outputs and strengthening repository hygiene for kilian-group/phantom-wiki. Delivered the Cfg2qa Output Cleanup and Ignore Pattern Update, removing obsolete Anastasia.py and its questions.txt entry, and updating .gitignore to ignore *_output* to prevent regenerated outputs from being tracked. This work reduces noise in version control, lowers the risk of accidentally committing generated artifacts, and improves CI reliability.
