Xiaomi and Peking University jointly published a new academic paper, which has been uploaded to the arXiv platform. One of the corresponding authors of the paper is Luofuli, a young scholar who has attracted widespread attention. She became a hot topic when she was recruited by Lei Jun, the founder and CEO of Xiaomi Group, with a salary of millions of yuan per year. However, it is worth noting that the author list of the paper does not indicate that Luofuli belongs to the Xiaomi large model team.
Luofuli, born in 1995, is a talented young woman. She graduated from the Computer Science Department of Beijing Normal University and obtained her master's degree from the Institute of Computational Linguistics at Peking University. Before joining Xiaomi, she led the development of the multilingual pre-training model VECO at Alibaba DAMO Academy and actively promoted the open-source project AliceMind. Since joining DeepSeek in 2022, Luofuli has participated in the research and development of the MoE large model DeepSeek-V2.
News about Luofuli being recruited by Xiaomi with a high salary caused widespread attention at the end of last year, but the two sides have not yet publicly confirmed whether she has officially joined Xiaomi. The publication of this study demonstrates Xiaomi's further exploration in the field of artificial intelligence and highlights its emphasis on top talents.
