[OpenAI Poaches Xiaopeng's AI Infra Head Lu Siyuan, His 200-Person Team May Be Split] According to monitoring by Beating, Xiaopeng Motors' AI Infrastructure Department Head Lu Siyuan is set to leave the company and is currently in the process of handing over his responsibilities. His next destination is OpenAI, where he will participate in the development of embodied intelligent robots. Lu Siyuan has been responsible for Xiaopeng's entire AI infrastructure, spanning from model training to vehicle production, directly overseeing approximately 200 people. His work covers training frameworks, GPU clusters, self-developed chip compilers, model quantization optimization, and vehicle-side deployment. This role is particularly critical for Xiaopeng. The company follows a self-developed chip strategy, requiring in-house development of compilers and inference runtime systems. Since no successor has been identified yet, Lu Siyuan's team is expected to be split into three or more independent teams. OpenAI's official website is currently recruiting engineers for robot software, simulation, and firmware. The company states that its robotics team is developing general-purpose robots capable of operating in real-world environments, integrating models, hardware, and software. [Original Link]
