Alibaba's Qwen tech lead steps down after major AI push

From: TechCrunch

Alibaba's Qwen AI project has lost one of its most visible technical leaders just a day after the Chinese tech giant unveiled its new Qwen 3.5 open-weight small models.

Junyang Lin, a central technical leader on Alibaba's Qwen team, said in a post on X on Tuesday that he was “stepping down” from the project, without elaborating. He joined Alibaba in July 2019 and became part of the Qwen team in April 2023, according to his LinkedIn profile.

The abrupt departure, which drew strong reactions from colleagues and industry partners, comes as global competition among AI developers intensifies and companies race to build models rivaling those from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

Alibaba's Qwen family of models has emerged as one of China's most prominent open-weight AI efforts, with recent releases posting benchmark results that often rival systems from leading U.S. developers. The Chinese tech giant introduced the model in April 2023 and opened it to public use that September after receiving regulatory clearance.

Alibaba introduced its Qwen 3.5 Small Model series on Monday, with four models spanning 0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 9B parameters. The systems, the company said, are native multimodal models designed for uses ranging from on-device AI deployment to lightweight agents. The launch drew attention from figures in the AI community, including Elon Musk, who wrote on X that the models showed “impressive intelligence density.”

Lin's departure came just as the Qwen team was pushing ahead with new releases, prompting unusually strong reactions from colleagues and partners who described his role in the project as central.

Wenting Zhao, a research scientist on the Qwen team, described Lin's departure as “the end of an era,” thanking him in a post on X for helping drive the project's advances in open source AI and engineering. Yuchen Jin, chief technology officer of AI infrastructure startup Hyperbolic, said Lin helped connect Qwen with the global developer community, recalling late-night collaboration with the team during model launches. Tiezhen Wang, head of APAC ecosystem at Hugging Face, also described Lin's departure as “an immense loss” for the Qwen project.

The circumstances surrounding Lin's departure remain unclear. Lin did not respond to a request for comment.

Chen Cheng, a contributor to the Qwen project, wrote that he was “heartbroken” by the news. In his post on X, Cheng appeared to be addressing Lin directly, writing, “I know leaving wasn't your choice” and said the team had been working together on model launches only hours earlier.

Binyuan Hui, another member of the Qwen team, has updated his X profile to describe himself as “formerly MTS @Alibaba_Qwen.” However, it is not immediately clear whether he had left the company or when the change was made.

Alibaba did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons for the move or on the leadership structure of the Qwen team.

The Chinese tech giant introduced the model in April 2023 and opened it to public use that September after receiving regulatory clearance.

Qwen系列模型已成为中国最具代表性的开源权重AI项目之一，近期版本在多项基准测试中的成绩常可比肩美国头部开发者的模型。该模型于2023年4月推出，并在当年9月获得监管批准后向公众开放使用。

prompt /prɒmpt/ 作名词，1）表示“（计算机屏幕上的）提示符（显示计算机已经准备好接受指令）”，英文解释为“a sign on a computer screen that shows that the computer is ready to receive your instructions”

📍在ChatGPT火热的今天，prompt通常指的是给模型的输入，用来激发或引导模型生成特定的输出或回答。简而言之，prompt是指用户提供给语言模型的一段文字或命令，以便模型据此理解用户的需求并给出相应的响应或信息。例如，在与像ChatGPT这样的大语言模型交互时，用户提出的问题或指令就是一个“prompt”。模型会根据这个prompt的内容分析、处理并生成回答或执行相关的任务。Prompt对于大语言模型来说是非常关键的，因为它直接决定了模型如何理解和回应用户的需求。

📍prompt中文里有译为“提示词”，prompt engineering 就是“提示工程/提示词工程”

Wenting Zhao, a research scientist on the Qwen team, described Lin's departure as “the end of an era,” thanking him in a post on X for helping drive the project's advances in open source AI and engineering. Yuchen Jin, chief technology officer of AI infrastructure startup Hyperbolic, said Lin helped connect Qwen with the global developer community, recalling late-night collaboration with the team during model launches. Tiezhen Wang, head of APAC ecosystem at Hugging Face, also described Lin's departure as “an immense loss” for the Qwen project.

Qwen团队研究科学家Wenting Zhao在X上将其离任称为“一个时代的结束”，并感谢他推动项目在开源AI与工程层面的进展。AI基础设施初创公司Hyperbolic的首席技术官Yuchen Jin表示，他帮助Qwen搭建了与全球开发者社区的联系，并回忆起模型发布期间与团队深夜协作的经历。Hugging Face亚太生态负责人Tiezhen Wang也称，他的离开是Qwen项目的“巨大损失”。

表示“（免费并允许公众对源程序代码进行修改的）开放源码的”，英文解释为“Open-source software is free to use, and the original program can be changed by anyone.”

startup / start-up /ˈstɑːt.ʌp/ 表示“刚起步的小企业，新兴小型企业；初创公司”，英文解释为“a small business that has just been started”如：start-up costs 创业成本，举个🌰：Start-ups are very vulnerable in the business world. 商界中刚起步的小企业非常脆弱。

The circumstances surrounding Lin's departure remain unclear. Lin did not respond to a request for comment.

目前围绕林俊旸离任的具体情况仍不明朗，其本人亦未回应置评请求。

Chen Cheng, a contributor to the Qwen project, wrote that he was “heartbroken” by the news. In his post on X, Cheng appeared to be addressing Lin directly, writing, “I know leaving wasn't your choice” and said the team had been working together on model launches only hours earlier.

Qwen项目贡献者Chen Cheng表示，这一消息令他“心碎”。他在X上似乎直接对林俊旸写道：“我知道离开并非你的选择”，并提到数小时前团队仍在共同推进模型发布。

Binyuan Hui, another member of the Qwen team, has updated his X profile to describe himself as “formerly MTS @Alibaba_Qwen.” However, it is not immediately clear whether he had left the company or when the change was made.

Qwen团队另一名成员Binyuan Hui也将其X个人简介更新为“formerly MTS @Alibaba_Qwen”。不过，目前尚不清楚他是否已离开公司，亦无法确定这一更改发生的时间。

profile /ˈprəʊ.faɪl/ 一词经常出现，1）表示“（有关某人的）简介，概况”，英文解释为“A profile of someone is a short article or programme in which their life and character are described.”举个🌰：A newspaper published comparative profiles of the candidates' wives. 一份报纸刊登了候选人妻子们的对比简介。

2）表示“关注度”，英文解释为“If someone has a high profile, people notice them and what they do. If you keep a low profile, you avoid doing things that will make people notice you.”

常用：a high profile 惹人注目/关注；高姿态，a low profile 不惹人注目，低姿态；如：a move that would give Egypt a much higher profile in the upcoming peace talks 会给埃及在即将到来的和平谈判中高关注度的一个行动。

📍如果你把微信语言设置成英文，你就会发现微信官方把头像处理成：Profile Photo，上面的“My Profile”对应的中文则是“个人信息”。
