Guanming Wang is Co-Founder of General Instinct (YC P26), a Y Combinator-backed startup building the deployment layer for physical AI, enabling frontier models to run fully offline on edge devices like drones, robots, and mobile hardware.

Guanming previously worked at Google DeepMind and has established himself as a tech influencer with 30k followers on Rednote, demonstrating a rare blend of research depth and community reach.

A globally competitive builder, Guanming won over $20k across international hackathons including the Agno Global Agent Hackathon, proving his ability to rapidly prototype and ship AI solutions.

At General Instinct, Guanming and co-founder Bill Jiao tackled the hard problem of squeezing large frontier models, such as a 15B parameter VLM, onto constrained hardware like the iPhone 13 with zero cloud dependency.

General Instinct, backed by Y Combinator and having raised $500k in seed funding, is targeting high-growth verticals including AI wearables, drones, manufacturing automation, and physical security.
