On August 17, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, released a company-wide letter titled "Driving Business Innovation and Organizational Change with Leadership," announcing the company's full-scale transformation into an AI Native (AI-native) organization. He also clearly stated that all levels of managers are the primary responsible parties for cultivating "super individuals" and building "super teams." In the letter, Zhou directly said, "This is not just a regular leadership upgrade, but a re-entrepreneurship of 360 with AI."

The release of this company-wide letter marks further upgrading of 360's "All in Agent" strategy. Zhou had previously repeatedly emphasized publicly that enterprise AI transformation must start from managers themselves. To this end, he outlined three specific requirements for managers in the letter: driving innovation and change to accelerate business and product breakthroughs; promoting organizational reshaping, so that managers shift from being "approval machines" to "coaches and commanders of super individuals"; and continuously learning and evolving, first transforming themselves into "super individuals" who are proficient in AI.

In terms of performance evaluation, Zhou required each manager to lead their team to deliver quantifiable results: at least one AI product or business innovation, at least one core process reengineered by AI, and at least one substantial achievement completed personally using AI. These indicators will be directly included in the annual performance assessment of managers.

To ensure the implementation of the transformation, 360 also launched organizational adjustments, including promoting a flatter organization structure, guiding grassroots managers to return to personal innovation, accelerating the AI-native transformation of R&D teams, and increasing recruitment of new graduates to promote a younger talent structure.

This organizational change has placed 360's management team at the forefront of AI transformation, providing another important practical example for domestic internet companies to shift from tool empowerment to organizational gene reshaping.
