After leading the Interrogation Training team, Yu Bowen has joined Bytedance.

According to 1M AI News monitoring, as reported by the media, Yu Bowen, the former head of post-training for the Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen Large Model, has officially joined ByteDance as the head of post-training for the Seed Vision Model and Multimodal Interaction team. This is the first time Yu Bowen's career destination has been made public since he left Alibaba in early March. ByteDance has not responded yet. The news first came from the WeChat public account "Shen Mama's Friends Circle," but the report has now been deleted.

Yu Bowen obtained his doctoral degree from the Institute of Information Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2022 and joined Alibaba DAMO Academy. He was selected for the "Alibaba Star" program that year and subsequently led the post-training research of the Qwen-Instruct series of models. In early March of this year, he resigned at the same time as Lin Junyang, the technical leader of Qianwen, and other core members. The post-training work was taken over by Zhou Hao, who joined Tongyi Lab from Google DeepMind earlier this year. Previously, the former technical leader of Tongyi Qianwen, Zhou Chang, and the team joined Seed in 2024.
