On October 17, amid swirling rumors of organizational shake-ups and department dissolutions, Zhipu AI issued a statement to set the record straight. The company confirmed that its product and R&D departments are continuing their operations without disruption. In fact, the organizational adjustments in question impact merely a dozen or so employees. Insiders familiar with the matter revealed that these changes are mainly driven by the company's strategic shift towards the MaaS (Model as a Service) model.
