Chinese AI prodigy Luo Fuli joins Xiaomi as industry competition for talent heats up



In a post on her WeChat account on Wednesday, Luo said she had joined Beijing-based Xiaomi, a move that is expected to burnish the company’s AI credentials.

“Intelligence will step beyond language into the physical world,” Luo wrote. “I’m at Xiaomi MiMo, with a group of creative, talented and sincere researchers to build a future like that.”

Xiaomi and its MiMO team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

The company’s months-long effort to hire Luo reflected the fierce competition for AI talent in China’s fast-developing and highly competitive AI industry.
