Wei Chen

The name Wei Chen maps onto two distinct profiles in elsewhere's corpus, and the materials don't confirm whether they're the same person. One is the academic: a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology who did his PhD at Fudan University's NLP lab under Zhongyu Wei, working on dialogue-based intelligent medical consultation — the person behind AI Hospital, a multi-agent diagnosis system where several "intern doctor" agents debate and converge on a consensus diagnosis, built in recognition that current LLMs can't support interactive medical evaluation . The other is the industry figure: Li Auto's former chief AI scientist and head of its foundation model department, who left to co-found Xieyue Intelligence alongside Li Auto's former product-line president Zhang Xiao, closing a several-hundred-million-yuan angel+ round co-invested by Linear Capital as of September 2026 . Whether the professor and the ex-Li Auto scientist are one person or two namesakes is not something the available coverage establishes.
