Baidu Wenxin Team Introduces North American Researcher and Core Author of DeepSeek

Baidu's Basic Model Research and Development Department is strengthening its core model team. The head, Sun Tianxiang, has brought in a researcher from a North American Frontier Lab, known by the alias "Wu Qin," to enhance the pre-training of Wenxin. This researcher has participated in the development of multiple generations of cutting-edge large models over the past two years, but their real name and original organization have not been disclosed. Meanwhile, former DeepSeek researcher Wei Haoran and his team have also transitioned from within Baidu to the BMU, with Wei Haoran serving as the head of Wenxin's multimodal algorithms. Wei Haoran is the first author of DeepSeek-OCR and DeepSeek-OCR 2, and he helped achieve a score of 93.92% in OmniDocBench v1.6 during the release of Unlimited OCR, setting a new record for end-to-end OCR. Sun Tianxiang took over the BMU in July and joined Baidu's Model Committee and Technical Strategy Committee, with the core lines of Wenxin's pre-training and multimodal efforts beginning to add personnel two months later.
