On the afternoon of March 5, Omar Sanseviero, the leader of Google DeepMind's development team, took to social media to openly recruit members from the Qwen team. He expressed their willingness to offer a fresh platform for those eager to contribute to the development of outstanding models and foster an open model ecosystem. On that very day, Alibaba officially confirmed that Junyang Lin, the key figurehead of Tongyi Lab, had resigned, with his resignation having been approved. The company also announced that Jingren Zhou would remain at the helm of the lab. In tandem with these developments, a foundational model support group was formed, with Yongming Wu, Jingren Zhou, and Yu Fan jointly overseeing its coordination. Alibaba reaffirmed its dedication to its open-source model strategy, pledging to ramp up investment in the AI sector and continue to draw top talent. Prior to these events, prominent team members such as Bowen Yu, the post-training lead of Qwen, and Binyuan Hui, the head of Qwen Code, had already announced their intentions to leave the company.
