Qwen undergoes two rounds of senior management adjustments in half a year, with Liu Da Yiheng officially taking charge of large models.

Beating AI News Flash: Alibaba has appointed Liu Da Yiheng as the head of the Qwen large language model. The official website of the Yunqi Conference has also updated his title to "Qwen LLM Project Lead."

Liu Da Yiheng joined Alibaba in 2021 and has since been a core member of Qwen's R&D team. In March of this year, Qwen's technical lead Lin Junyang left to start a business; in June, Zhou Jingren, who was in charge of AI model R&D, stepped down from related management duties and transitioned to Chief Scientist at Alibaba. After consecutive adjustments within half a year, the head of the Qwen large language model line is now officially confirmed.

Liu Da Yiheng has also been placed in a core position at this year's Yunqi Conference. Among the speakers on the conference's official website, he is listed after Alibaba Chairman Joseph Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu, and will deliver a speech titled "Qwen: Toward Real-World Agents" at the main forum.
