Pragmatik Labs

An AI-agent company founded by former Qwen tech lead Junyang Lin, with embodied AI among its directions.

Pragmatik Labs was founded by Junyang Lin, the former technical lead of Alibaba's Qwen large-model team. Born in 1993, Lin holds a master's degree from Peking University, became Qwen's technical lead in late 2022 — Alibaba's youngest P10-level employee — and left in March 2026. Between May and June he registered several entities in Shanghai, including Pragmatik (Shanghai) Technology and Shanghai Pragmatik Technology, which is why early reports referred to the company as “Pragmatik”; it officially launched on August 12. The company researches next-generation agents spanning both the digital and physical worlds: digital agents for knowledge work and business operations, and physical agents — that is, embodied AI — for completing long-horizon tasks in the real world. Reports say its first funding round totaled several hundred million dollars, with Banyan Capital and Sequoia China each leading roughly $100 million and Tencent contributing about $20 million, at a post-money valuation of about $2 billion; no model or product had been released at the time of the announcement.
