Xiaohongshu links Dots AI unit with core infrastructure team
Xiaohongshu said in an Oct. 16 all-hands letter that it is linking its first-level AI department Dots with its core infrastructure team to coordinate model research, infrastructure and product needs. The letter said deep integration of models and applications matters more than model capability or compute scale alone, and said hi lab will continue to focus on long-term and frontier research. Xiaohongshu said its in-app AI Q&A assistant, launched in 2024, now has more than 100 million monthly active users. Reports differ on Dots' timeline: one says the team was set up in April 2026, while another says it was elevated to a first-level AI department on April 30. The company also said its dots3 model received an IMO-certified perfect gold medal; this claim was not independently verified in the supplied reports.
The letter frames deep integration of models and applications, rather than model capability or compute scale alone, as Xiaohongshu's priority; the company also says its in-app AI Q&A assistant has over 100 million monthly active users.
