\n The leader of Alibaba’s artificial intelligence division announced his resignation Wednesday via social media. Lin Junyang’s departure comes just days after the company unveiled new AI products and saw massive user growth.\n <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The executive overseeing Alibaba Group\u2019s artificial intelligence platform announced his departure Wednesday, marking an unexpected leadership change at one of China\u2019s major tech companies.<\/p>\n

Lin Junyang, who directed the Qwen AI model division, revealed his resignation through a social media post on X, simply stating \u201cBye my beloved Qwen\u201d without elaborating on his reasons for leaving.<\/p>\n

The timing of Lin\u2019s announcement is notable, occurring just two days following Alibaba\u2019s launch of enhanced AI products. Neither Lin nor company representatives have responded to media inquiries seeking additional details about the departure.<\/p>\n

The Qwen platform has experienced remarkable expansion in recent months, with its mobile app attracting 203 million monthly active users in February \u2013 a dramatic increase from the 31.05 million users recorded in January, according to AICPB.com, which monitors artificial intelligence applications.<\/p>\n

This substantial user growth positioned Qwen as the world\u2019s third-largest AI application, trailing only OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and ByteDance\u2019s Doubao platform.<\/p>\n

Industry analysts attribute the rapid user acquisition to intensive marketing efforts by Chinese technology companies during the Lunar New Year holiday period, when firms competed aggressively to expand their customer base.<\/p>\n
