"The center of gravity of one of the Six Tigers will shift to Agent.

According to "Intelligent Emergence" was informed that Step Leap Star, one of the big model "Six Little Tigers", the C-end AI application layout has seen the following adjustments in the past six months: in December 2024, the role-playing Agent product "Bubbling Duck" stopped extensive investment, the team was merged into the dialog product "Leap Ask" (now renamed "Step Leap AI"), and only some employees are left to operate and maintain the product at the present time. In response to the above information, Step Ahead replied that the team conducted some product exploration based on the modeling capability at that time; in 2025, with the maturity of multimodal and reasoning capability, the team converged on the product and focused on the Agent direction. The company also said that the renaming of "Leap Ask" to "Step Leap AI" implies its transformation from a Chat-type product to Agent capability. According to the staff of Step Leap Star, after a year of exploration, the team now learns a profound lesson in product layout: don't participate in the competition in the field where there are already head players. According to the report, since 2025, StepStar's strategy is also to focus its resources from short boards to long boards: the center of gravity is shifted from the C-end to model R&D and ToB/G.
