Xiaohongshu has issued a company-wide letter outlining changes to its internal technology structure, according to a report by Yicai on Oct. 16. The company said it will integrate its top-level AI department, Dots, with its core infrastructure team. At the same time, another internal technical organization, hi lab, will focus on long-term technology exploration and the layout of frontier technology directions. The letter also restated Xiaohongshu’s positioning as a technology application company. It said the company’s logic for investing in model research differs fundamentally from that of cloud vendors. Rather than treating model capability or computing scale as the main objective, the company said the larger value of technology lies in deep integration between models and applications. In the letter, Xiaohongshu wrote that its next-stage direction has become clearer, stressing that technology and products should reinforce each other and jointly create valuable user experiences for the current era.

Xiaohongshu has released a company-wide letter announcing an internal technology restructuring, according to a Yicai report published on Oct. 16. The company said it will link its top-level AI department, Dots, with its core infrastructure team, while another internal technical organization, hi lab, will focus on long-term technology exploration and frontier technology directions.

Changes to internal AI and technical teams

The adjustment involves two internal technology groups. Dots, Xiaohongshu’s primary AI department, will be connected with the company’s core infra team. Separately, hi lab has been assigned to concentrate on long-term technical research and the layout of cutting-edge technology directions.

Company positions itself around applications

The letter said Xiaohongshu defines itself as a technology application company, adding that its logic for investing in model research is fundamentally different from that of cloud vendors.

Xiaohongshu wrote: "We have a clearer view of the next stage. The greatest value of technology lies not only in pursuing model capability or the scale of computing power itself, but more importantly in the deep integration of models and applications. Technology and products should strengthen each other and jointly create user experiences that are valuable in this era."

The report was written by Ning Jiayan and edited by DingTalk.
