Sept 24 — Doubao PR head Liu Xing said reports that the company conducted mass layoffs or halved its dialogue/Session team are false; the move was an internal reallocation of duties. Liu said portions of the general Session team’s functions were moved to Doubao’s trading and work teams and staff transferred with the functions; many continue prior work, including trading-related tasks to optimise trading dialogue experience.
