Mihoyo's founder liu wei aims to enter top tier of domestic large model developers within 2-3 years

During a campus recruitment event at Shanghai Jiao Tong University on September 28, 2026, Mihoyo founder and CEO Liu Wei expressed confidence that the company will be among the leading domestic large model developers within 2 to 3 years. Liu emphasized that Mihoyo will remain focused on innovative projects and avoid losing its direction. Earlier in May 2026, Mihoyo hosted an AI foundation model event in Beijing, where Liu stated the company's AI investment could reach up to 100 billion yuan over three years. He described the endeavor as a 'big fireworks' if it fails. Liu also highlighted the importance of computational power and scale in achieving top-tier AI models, noting that without these, success is unlikely. The company has been actively recruiting top talent and advancing its AI initiatives as part of broader efforts to integrate new technologies into its operations.
