Zhipu AI founder outlines Touch High plan for AGI research

Zhipu AI founder Tang Jie said the company will launch a new “Touch High” plan centered on AGI research.

The strategy shifts emphasis away from near-term commercialization toward long-horizon technical goals.

Priority areas include autonomous agents, self-training, long-duration tasks, and safety governance.

The move suggests a major Chinese AI lab is betting on foundational AGI capabilities and responsible development.
