Xiaomi's 'prodigy' speaks out.

Despite being hailed as an "AI genius," Luo Fuli has repeatedly stated that he is just an ordinary researcher and does not wish to be labeled with glamorous titles.

Peking University recently conducted a series of interviews with alumni, including Luo Fuli, head of Xiaomi's MiMo large-scale language modeling project. She candidly addressed the long-standing label of "AI genius" attached to her.

She argues that this is a stereotype created to attract attention, and that in reality she is just an ordinary researcher, nothing particularly outstanding. In fact, this is not the first time Luo Fuli has spoken out about this title.

Earlier, she posted a late-night status update on WeChat Moments, saying that she absolutely did not want to be labeled in such a way. Excessive praise often comes with immense pressure, and she would rather quietly do difficult but right things, according to Lei Technology.

Some self-proclaimed media outlets wrote articles based on rumors and misinformation to attract traffic. Some even harassed her family, friends, and teachers, sparking outrage online.

Luo Fuli chose to react rather than endure. She spoke out against this negative trend, helping many people see the truth behind the glamorous titles. Furthermore, in this interview, Luo Fuli also predicted the development of large-scale models over the next 10 years, suggesting they will bring about groundbreaking changes in the field of scientific research.

According to the researchers, large-scale models can write code, conduct experiments, send tasks, and analyze results on their own. This means that in the future, anyone may be able to participate in scientific research.

If this becomes a reality, the barriers to entry into the field of scientific research will be significantly lowered, enabling many people with excellent ideas but lacking technical skills to participate. This will undoubtedly accelerate the pace of scientific progress.

Notably, she also mentioned that multimodal interaction will become the next important area, as large models increasingly understand the real physical world and support knowledge workers in performing more creative tasks.

At the end of the interview, Luo Fuli shared her desire to conduct research that is truly valuable to society and all of humanity in the next 10 years. She also wants to see China's scientific research capabilities stand at the center of the world map, and be a part of it.

In response to this viewpoint, some netizens commented, praising the rare researcher who possesses both great ambition and practicality. "In the context of China's rapidly developing AI industry, what is needed are researchers who are both passionate and capable," one person wrote.

On the other hand, some argue that achieving this goal is not easy. The path of scientific research can encounter many technical obstacles and face skepticism and interference from outside.

Regarding this matter, Lei Technology believes that with her curiosity and perseverance in addressing fundamental issues, coupled with the support from the Xiaomi team, Luo Fuli can absolutely gradually move towards that goal. Furthermore, having a role model like her will inspire many others to embark on the path of scientific research.
