The associated list serves as a widely recognized barometer for China's economic and financial trends for the upcoming year. Yiren Digital was selected for its continued innovation and operational excellence in AI-driven digital transformation.

Since its IPO in 2015, Yiren Digital has steadily advanced its AI R&D capabilities, evolving from a fintech company to a smart technology enterprise. By embedding cutting-edge AI automation technologies throughout its operations, the Company has translated AI proficiency into tangible productivity gains, strengthening innovation and performance across its operations.

Entering its tenth year as a public company, Yiren Digital continues to define how AI is reshaping business models, accelerating the deep integration of technology and finance across the fintech ecosystem.

The Company remains focused on its "AI+ on multi-use cases," supported by its AI Lab, and has developed a growing suite of proprietary large AI models deployed across multiple business functions. These technologies enhance data management, precision customer acquisition, intelligent marketing, customer service, and risk management, collectively driving significant improvements in operational efficiency.

A defining element of Yiren Digital's strategy is its commitment to early adoption, sustained investment, and strategic focus. The Company allocates hundreds of millions of RMB annually to R&D. Its proprietary large model, "Zhiyu," officially registered and deployed in April 2025, serves as the core engine of its AI infrastructure. The upgraded Zhiyu model supports multi-agent collaboration and contextual memory, enabling more sophisticated, human-like interactions and providing a robust, adaptive AI foundation for the Company.

Yiren Digital has also significantly enhanced service capabilities through its Magicube AI Agent Platform, delivering greater precision, efficiency, and more intuitive customer interactions.
