Shi Yunfeng, the head of ByteDance's AI chip and DPU team, has resigned and is currently serving his notice period. A graduate of Peking University's School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Shi previously held positions at MediaTek, Marvell, and Huaxintong. He joined ByteDance in 2018 and reported to Yang Zhenyuan, Vice President and head of Volcano Engine. In its early stages, ByteDance's AI chip team opted for a dedicated chip approach modeled after Google's TPU, adopting a pure ASIC architecture. The chip has completed tape-out, but its actual performance fell short of expectations, and the team is now pushing ahead with the development of a next-generation chip.
