The last co-founder of Ping An Good Doctor resigns, as Wang Xiaochuan bets solo on AI healthcare

According to EqualOcean's monitoring, in an exclusive report by WhaleTrend, Bai Chuan AI's co-founder and former COO of Sogou, Ru Liyun, has resigned and is now the President of Huichen Technology, shifting focus to AI applications and embodied intelligence business. With his departure, Bai Chuan's original co-founding team has all exited.

The report attributed this wave of resignations to differences in direction. Wang Xiaochuan is scaling back on general AI models and enterprise business, focusing on betting big on medical AI, while some co-founders wish to continue investing in general models and AI programming. Bai Chuan is currently advancing its medical large-scale model M4 and the family doctor assistant "Bai Xiao Yi."

Bai Chuan had previously raised $5 billion, with a valuation of around $20 billion, making it one of the domestic large-scale model startups most favored by capital. Now, with only Wang Xiaochuan remaining from the founding team, whether the medical route can succeed has become a key test for Bai Chuan's future.
