StepFun separates its foundation model and agent-device businesses, moving its phone business into a separate company while the original entity continues operating the model business. The company is also building an overseas commercialization team to sell model APIs, starting with voice models, and plans to take both models and phones overseas, with phones serving as a direct channel for models. The plan has not been officially confirmed.
