As part of Tencent’s AI reorganisation, the Technology Engineering Group (TEG), one of the company’s six major business units, established two new departments.
The “AI Infra” department was “responsible for developing the technical capabilities of large-model training and inference platforms”, while the “Data Computing Platform” team was tasked to “establish comprehensive full-stack service capabilities for constructing large-scale integrated big data and machine learning”, according to the internal announcement confirmed by three sources.
Yao was also named the head of TEG’s LLM development and AI Infra departments, reporting to the group’s president Lu Shan.
The company renamed its existing data platform team as “AI Data”, which was assigned to provide “high-quality data services for large-scale model pre-training, post-training and model applications”.
