China's Zhipu AI will pivot its core focus toward Artificial General Intelligence rather than short-term commercialization, founder Tang Jie disclosed in an internal memo on Saturday, dubbing the strategic shift the "Touch High Plan." Tang wrote that "the giant wave has arrived, and the trend is irreversible," adding "anything short of the summit is failure." According to the memo, Zhipu’s future research will be driven by four core engines: long horizon tasks, an autonomous agent system, fully self training, and ultimate security governance. Tang pointed out that AI is completing the leap from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence, and the next step will be AGI. Zhipu recently released its GLM-5.2 model, which is widely recognized as reaching the forefront of international model capabilities; the open-source model supports millions of truly usable contexts and continues to lead the industry in executing long-range tasks.
