Former Meta FAIR Lead YUANDONG TIAN: I Once Bet on My Reputation and Strongly Recommended Kimi Co-Founder YUHSIN WU

According to Donews Beating's monitoring, Recursive co-founder and former Meta FAIR Research Director Tian Yuandong recalled that Moon's Dark Side co-founder Wu Yuxin was his intern in 2015. To persuade his superiors to hire Wu Yuxin, he argued on the rooftop of the Facebook office building for an hour, even putting his own reputation at stake. He said the facts proved him right.

Wu Yuxin later joined FAIR, proposed Group Normalization with He Kaiming, and created Detectron2. Today, he is involved in the Kimi base model research at Moon's Dark Side.

Tian Yuandong believes that in the era of large models, it is even more necessary for technical practitioners who personally inspect data, write code, and iterate quickly, and founders are no exception.
