Chinese e-commerce giant Pinduoduo has announced the formation of a large model team focused on e-commerce recommendations, further strengthening its commitment to AI in the sector. According to recent posts on X, the team is led by a former core member of Baidu's Phoenix Nest (Baidu's advertising system), whose salary is reportedly multiple times higher than at Baidu, demonstrating Pinduoduo's significant investment in talent acquisition. While Pinduoduo has not officially disclosed the leader's identity, an X user @TechBitDaily revealed in a February 23rd post that the team has already recruited numerous individuals from Baidu.

Alibaba is fully committed to AI e-commerce by establishing the Taotian Group AI team. Pinduoduo's remarkably high efficiency raises concerns for Alibaba, prompting an urgent need to enhance efficiency. Pinduoduo's social e-commerce model disrupts traditional practices, presenting significant challenges for Alibaba. Both Alibaba and Pinduoduo highly value the application of large models in e-commerce. AI e-commerce has become a new battleground with intense competition between Alibaba and Pinduoduo.

Pinduoduo has established a large model team consisting of dozens of members to explore applications of large models in customer service and dialogue scenarios, extending to intelligent customer service, search, and recommendation in its cross-border e-commerce platform TEMU. Pinduoduo is starting to recruit talent in the large model field, with numerous positions offering annual salaries of over a million. The applications of large models aim to enhance shopping experiences and sales conversion rates, as well as improve operational efficiency and management levels.
