In the tech world, certain figures always make a splash with their every move, and Tong Xin is one of them. This former global research partner at Microsoft and a heavyweight in the field of graphics has just concluded his 25-year research career at Microsoft Asia Research Institute. Now, he has a new direction—joining the AGI startup Anuttacon as the chief researcher.
Anuttacon, a name you might not have heard of yet, but it's soon to make waves in the tech industry. This newly established AGI startup has offices in both Singapore and the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on pushing the boundaries of AGI and creating new virtual world experiences with AI technology.

Among Anuttacon's lineup is another familiar face—Wang Yuyang, the former vice president of Bilibili. This young executive, who was once the head of Bilibili's live broadcasting business, now serves as the president of user ecology at Anuttacon, continuing to shine in a new field.
Tong Xin's resume is nothing short of a legend in the tech world. Starting with a computer science degree from Zhejiang University, to a PhD from Tsinghua University, and then to a medical visualization project at the University of Hong Kong, Tong Xin's academic journey is filled with highlights. In 1999, he joined Microsoft Asia Research Institute, becoming one of the first PhD graduates from the institute and participating in several epoch-making projects.
During his 25 years at Microsoft, Tong Xin led his team to invent various graphics algorithms and systems, which have been applied in products such as XBOX game development and Windows 3D printing drivers. His research has been cited over fourteen thousand times, an extraordinary achievement in the academic world.
Now, Tong Xin brings his talent and experience to Anuttacon. We have reason to expect that this tech giant will open a new chapter in the field of AGI, bringing unprecedented innovative experiences to interactive entertainment.
As stated in Anuttacon's vision, they are committed to leveraging the advantages of AGI to break through the boundaries of interactive entertainment and create immersive virtual world experiences for players. With the addition of Tong Xin and Wang Yuyang, this goal seems within reach.
The tech world is always full of surprises, and today, we witness another exciting transformation. Let's wait and see how Anuttacon will ride the waves of the AGI tide and create new technological wonders.
