The person in charge of Xirang resigned, and the story of Baidu's Metaverse seems to be coming to an end.
Article Introduction:Metaverse and generative artificial intelligence, two concepts that have swept the technology circle since the epidemic, now seem to have a sense of "what's the difference between good and good". At a time when generative AI is extremely popular, Metaverse seems to have become a "passed internet celebrity". Not only major overseas companies have disbanded related teams, but related domestic companies also seem to have lost interest in it. A few days ago, Ma Jie, vice president of Baidu and head of the "Xirang" product, announced his resignation, making the future of "Xirang", the first metaverse product in the domestic market, suddenly become uncertain.
