Lu Siyuan, head of Xpeng's AI infrastructure department and manager of a roughly 200-person team, is leaving to join OpenAI's embodied AI robotics research and development, according to a Monday report by Leiphone.
Lu is currently handing over his duties; he reports to Liu Xianming, head of Xpeng's General Intelligence Center, and has been primarily responsible for building Xpeng's AI infrastructure system, while Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) has yet to find a suitable replacement.
Lu's team is expected to be split into more than 3 independent groups under different managers, making him the latest key AI executive Xpeng has lost, even as Xpeng pursues its own embodied-AI ambitions with the Iron humanoid robot it showcased at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2026.
