Insider denies that Zhang Yiming is returning to the front line: still based in Singapore.

On June 20th, a source revealed to reporters that Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance, frequently travels between Beijing and Singapore, with a particular focus on AI business. Since the second half of last year, he has been attending a monthly retrospective and discussion meeting with Seed's core technology team. The source also said, "There is no notion of 'returning to the front line'. Currently, Zhang Yiming is still based in Singapore, paying close attention to technology. He mainly communicates with researchers in Singapore and regularly returns to China to exchange ideas with technical experts. Zhang Yiming focuses on cutting-edge technologies for the future. His role is more like that of Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google after his return: focusing on the core AI research team, spending a lot of time interacting with researchers."
