   ByteDance Seed reorganises into five units, adds safety and alignment department

   A Tech商业 report republished by 钛媒体, citing leaked internal emails and multiple reports, says ByteDance's Seed foundation-model team has completed a reorganisation under Wu Yonghui into five first-level departments: pretraining data, reinforcement learning, B-end/agentic post-training, C-end chat post-training, and safety and alignment. The new Seed Model-Alignment & Preparedness unit is led by Yan Lin and reports to Wu, with the former Responsible AI team and some Chat team members moving into it. The report also says evals lead Huang Wenhao has left and may start a company, and calls the lab China's first frontier AI lab with a standalone safety and alignment department; ByteDance has not publicly confirmed these details.

   ByteDance Seed creates standalone AI safety and alignment department

   ByteDance's Seed AI lab has set up a standalone "Seed Model-Alignment & Preparedness" department led by Yan Lin and reporting directly to Seed head Wu Yonghui, with the former Responsible AI team and some Chat team members moving into it, according to Chinese media citing an internal email. Seed then posted a global recruitment notice seeking 10 researchers for Beijing, Shanghai and San Jose, saying the team will get computing and research resources comparable to frontier model research teams and will work on agent-model safety, automated vulnerability testing, tools to monitor and explain model behavior, and preparedness for frontier risks including CBRN. Reports citing Pengpai describe it as the first standalone safety and alignment department at a Chinese frontier AI lab; that "first" claim has not been independently verified in the supplied material.
