🤖 Ex-Qwen Lead Seeks Funding for New AI Lab
@JustinLin610, former technical lead of
@AlibabaGroup's Qwen models, is reportedly raising several hundred million dollars for a new AI lab at a target valuation of around $2B, per
@theinformation.
Gaorong Ventures and HongShan are said to be in talks to invest.
The high valuation reflects investor confidence in Lin’s track record after
@Alibaba_Qwen became one of the most widely adopted open-source AI model families.
