According to Bijie.com, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in a Slack message to employees on Monday, predicted that the company would go public within the next year, but the specific progress would depend on the funding needs for computing infrastructure and the speed of AI's recursive self-improvement evolution. He pointed out that if the technology can achieve rapid recursive self-improvement—that is, AI can autonomously develop the next generation of AI—the world and the technological landscape may change in unexpected ways, at which point remaining a private company would be more advantageous. On the other hand, OpenAI's huge funding needs for purchasing computing resources and building infrastructure may accelerate the IPO process. The company is currently negotiating to lease a large data center in Ohio, requiring hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for NVIDIA chips and rent. Alongside the IPO plan, OpenAI is preparing to release a new AI model codenamed 5.6 this month. Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki stated in an employee memo that the new model will be a significant improvement over the current flagship model, GPT-5.5.

According to Bijie.com, Alibaba Group announced that Chen Hang (nickname Wuzhao) will step down as CEO of DingTalk, and will be succeeded by Chen Yusen, born in 1992, who is in charge of MuleRun, an AI agent project within Alibaba Cloud. Prior to the announcement, on June 10th, the Group's Partner Committee had just responded on its internal network to a controversial article by a former employee, "Being Inside DingTalk," which revealed the company's high-pressure management style, stating that DingTalk's management style "is not what Alibaba's culture should be like." After returning to DingTalk in 2025, Chen Hang continued the high-pressure management style he used in his early entrepreneurial days to promote AI transformation, leading to employee accusations in the article of Chen Hang's strict attendance checks and early morning checks. The Alibaba Partner Committee emphasized in its response that progress should not be achieved by sacrificing employees and suppressing the culture. The successor, Chen Yusen, is a serial entrepreneur with a technical background. At the age of 22, he co-founded the cybersecurity company Changting Technology, which was later acquired by Alibaba Cloud. After joining Alibaba Group, Chen Yusen launched the MuleRun AI agent project within Alibaba Cloud in 2025, becoming a key figure in the Group's development of a new generation of managers.
