Lin Junyang, the core leader of QWEN, responds to his departure: says he really needs a break, and he has been deeply involved in large models for many years

On March 4th, another major personnel change occurred in the field of large models. Lin Jinyang (Justin Lin), the core leader of Alibaba's Qwen large model, officially announced his resignation through social media.

This morning, Lin Jinyang posted a short but emotionally charged message on social media: "Me stepping down. Bye my beloved Qwen." (I'm stepping down. Goodbye, my beloved Qwen.) This news quickly sparked heated discussions in the technology community.

As a key figure in the Tongyi Qwen team, Lin Jinyang played a crucial role in the development of Alibaba's large models. His expression of reluctance upon leaving also reflects his deep feelings for the Qwen brand and the team.

As the public reaction intensified, Lin Jinyang responded again through his WeChat Moments this afternoon. He stated that he is currently unable to respond to all the greetings and inquiries from the outside:

"Sorry, everyone, I won't be replying to messages or calls today. I really need some rest."

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to encourage his former team members, saying: "Qwen brothers, continue working as planned, everything will be fine." This statement aims to stabilize the team's morale, indicating that the subsequent development of the Qwen large model will not be significantly affected by his personal departure.

Currently, Alibaba has not officially announced the successor or details about Lin Jinyang's resignation. As for external speculations about whether he will start an "AI startup" or join a competitor, Lin Jinyang has not given a clear response yet.
