Overview
- At Tsinghua University’s AGI-Next summit in Beijing on Jan. 10, Tencent chief scientist Yao Shunyu delivered his first public remarks since joining the company’s CEO/President Office.
- Yao said AI deployment is diverging between To C and To B uses, citing ChatGPT as a consumer exemplar and Claude Code as an enterprise exemplar.
- He argued that enterprise teams increasingly interface with computers in natural language rather than writing code, with stronger models correlating to higher productivity and revenue.
- Zhipu founder Tang Jie credited early‑2025 DeepSeek with catalyzing a new paradigm that emphasizes AI systems which perform tasks rather than just chat.
- Tang said Zhipu is integrating coding, reasoning, and agent capabilities in its GLM series, claiming GLM‑4.5 led on 12 domestic benchmarks and that GLM‑4.7 recently improved agent and coding performance, with these results reported by the company.
