Following the recent departure of Lin Junyang, the head of large model technology at Alibaba's Tongyi Lab, it has been reported that Yu Bowen, the former post-training leader for the Qwen large model, has also joined ByteDance. He will serve as the post-training leader for the Seed team's visual model and multimodal interaction team. This move comes after Alibaba's Tongyi Lab underwent an organizational reshuffle in early March, resulting in the Qwen team being split up and the departure of several technical experts. With his extensive technical expertise, Yu Bowen previously spearheaded the development of the Qwen series Chat models. Now, under the leadership of Wu Yonghui, the ByteDance Seed team has continued to iterate on relevant models. ByteDance's acquisition of key talent from Tongyi underscores the significance that leading companies attach to post-training technology. It also signals that talent mobility within the domestic large model sector is accelerating shifts in the underlying technological landscape.
