Recently, major news has been heard in the field of AI, and two co-founders of Baichuan Intelligent, Jiao Ke and Chen Weipeng, announced their resignation one after another. As core members of this AI unicorn company, their departure has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion in the industry. According to Interface News, Jiao Ke has officially resigned, while Chen Weipeng's resignation procedures are still underway.
According to people familiar with the matter, Jiao Ke has begun to start new entrepreneurial projects in the field of AI voice and is actively seeking financing support.

Baichuan Intelligence was founded in 2023 by former Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan. As early core members, Jiao Ke and Chen Weipeng played a key role in the company's technology research and development and business expansion.

Industry insiders believe that Jiao Ke and Chen Weipeng's entrepreneurial choices are closely related to his rich technical experience accumulated at Baichuan Intelligent. In recent years, the field of AI voice has made significant breakthroughs in intelligent interaction, voice synthesis, etc., while AI Coding has attracted much attention due to the significant improvement in code generation efficiency. Whether the two founders’ new journey can replicate the success of Baichuan Intelligence still needs time and market testing.
