[Zhipu Launches 'Touch High Plan,' No Focus on Short-Term Monetization for the Next Two Years] According to monitoring by Beating, Zhipu founder Tang Jie issued an internal letter announcing the launch of the Touch High plan. Over the next two years, the company will continue to heavily invest in AGI research, prioritizing long-term development over short-term application monetization. The plan will focus on four key directions: enabling models to execute complex tasks over extended periods; facilitating autonomous collaboration among large numbers of agents; achieving complete self-training through synthetic data and self-play; and strengthening safety governance. Tang Jie particularly emphasized safety, stating that Zhipu plans to invest resources on the scale of tens of billions to research 'mechanical interpretability,' aiming to understand why models make specific decisions. He also mentioned that even after Zhipu's public listing, the company will return to foundational model research, asserting that 'failure to reach the summit is failure.' Previously, Zhipu announced a new share placement of approximately HK$31.4 billion. The funds raised will be used for foundational model development, computing infrastructure construction, and commercial expansion. [Original Link]
