ByteDance’s TikTok algorithm head, Chen Zhijie, is reportedly set to leave the company soon and has launched a new venture in the AI field, focusing on AI coding, according to the Chinese media outlet Cailianpress.com. He is already in discussions with investors. Chen, who held a 5-1 position at TikTok, joined ByteDance in April 2022 as a senior technical director, leading the platform’s recommendation algorithm and data science teams. Previously, he worked at Baidu from July 2010 to May 2019, where he served as chief technical architect. In China, AI coding remains a relatively underdeveloped field. [Cailianpress.com, in Chinese]
