BlockBeats reported that Huang Wenhao, who was in charge of model evaluation at ByteDance’s Seed team, has recently left the company and may choose to launch a startup next. Huang holds a PhD in computer science from Peking University and previously worked at Microsoft Research Asia and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence. In 2023, he joined Lee Kai-fu’s 01.AI as a co-founder, serving as vice president of algorithms and head of model training, where he led the training and release of large models including Yi-34B and Yi-Large. In August 2024, he left 01.AI for ByteDance Seed, initially overseeing technical project management and planning and reporting to Zhu Wenjia. After former Google DeepMind vice president Wu Yonghui took over Seed’s foundational research in early 2025, Huang began reporting to Wu. His focus later shifted toward model evaluation, while also taking part in frontier technology planning and talent recruitment.
