# Zhipu AI founder outlines Touch High plan for AGI research > Source: > Published: 2026-07-13 09:30:37+00:00 Zhipu AI founder Tang Jie told employees in an internal letter that the Chinese foundation model developer will launch a “Touch High” plan, focusing on AGI research rather than short-term commercialization, according to LatePost. Zhipu AI is the company behind the GLM series of large language models. Tang listed four technical priorities for the plan: long-horizon tasks, autonomous agent systems, fully self-training, and extreme safety governance. The letter also singled out mechanistic interpretability, which studies the logic behind model decisions, as a major safety research direction.
