Lin Junyang, technical lead of the Qwen model team at Alibaba, has resigned from the company, according to people familiar with the matter. Lin submitted his resignation on March 3, and the departure was later communicated within the Qwen team, the sources said.
Lin had led key development work on the Qwen model series under Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab, which reports to Alibaba Cloud CTO Zhou Jingren. His exit comes as the lab is undergoing internal organizational adjustments, including plans to reorganize its model development teams. [LatePost, in Chinese]
