According to reports from Smart Emergence, Tencent's AI assistant "Yuanbao" has completed an important organizational adjustment, and the entire product team has moved to Tencent Cloud and Smart Industry Group (CSIG). This change means that "Yuanbao" will be taken over by Wu Zurong, the head of Tencent Conference.
In his new role, Wu Zurong will focus on product capability building and user experience optimization of “Yuanbao”. Tencent's Hunyuan large model R&D team will continue to focus on technical support and improve model capabilities and performance.
Tang Daosheng, the senior leader of Tencent Group, emphasized at the employee communication meeting that it will increase investment in AI strategic directions such as large models, and will continue to promote technological innovation and application exploration in the future.
"Yuanbao" is an AI assistant application launched by Tencent based on the Hunyuan large model capabilities and will be officially launched in May 2024. It provides users with functions such as AI search, AI reading, AI writing, and AI drawing, demonstrating ChatGPT-like question and answer capabilities. In the early days, “Yuanbao” and its technology research and development team were affiliated with Tencent’s Technology Engineering Group (TEG).
Highlight:
The "Yuanbao" team was moved as a whole to Tencent Cloud and Smart Industry Group (CSIG), and was taken over by the person in charge of Tencent Conference.
Wu Zurong will focus on product capability building and user experience optimization of “Yuanbao”, with the Hunyuan team providing technical support.
This adjustment reflects the trend of gradual separation of AI products and basic models, indicating that market competition will become more intense in the future.
