Attent!on, AttentIon, ATTENTION! | Yunqi Capital AGI+ Series

• Sora drops! Is the "world simulator" here?

• Gemma arrives! Open-source models leveling up?

• Claude 3 launches! Gunning for GPT-5?

......

AI is moving fast.

How do products and tech move toward each other?

In 2024, Yunqi's AGI+ Salon series returns.

ATTENT!ON,

PLEASE

As technology keeps iterating, how do you push new tech to its limits and build AI Ace products?

This season, the Yunqi AGI Salon is back with a fresh format: the "Attent!on" series. We're looking for passionate, insightful, conviction-driven AI founders and industry experts to join us in exploring where AI + software/hardware products are headed.

We'll be sitting down with:

Co-founders of major domestic AI labs, heads of NLP at Tier-1 foundation model companies, former ByteDance growth strategy leads, former product leads from top internet firms, and elite AI researchers from Tencent AI Lab, Shanghai AI Lab, and CUHK Multi-media Lab**......**

For face-to-face conversations and deep dives into:

• How do expanding model capabilities change what's possible in applications?
• Where is the latest tech evolution heading?
• What will be the next best innovation scene?
• How do applications and models find their optimal match?

......

If you're an AI founder, industry expert, or Big Tech executive, or a young person with ideas, thoughts, and hands-on experience in AI-driven business, we welcome your application.

Shanghai "AI+" Session:

March 24, afternoon

One More Thing

At the event, we'll share Yunqi team's latest AI research and insights. Stick around for BBQ and casual chats — and a chance to receive a printed copy of our team research report.

Selections from Yunqi's AI Research Digest:

• In 2021, we led MiniMax's angel round and have long tracked how compute costs shape AI's trajectory. The industry is now pursuing multiple paths: vertical models, MoE (Mixture of Experts), vector databases, and dedicated AI chips;

• Currently, over 90% of Yunqi's portfolio companies are actively embracing AI. Per industry cost curves, foundation model inference costs could fall to 1% of current levels within 3–5 years. When that happens, AI applications may hit an inflection point of explosive growth;

• AI's ability to extend product boundaries and standardize delivery will reshape upstream-downstream dynamics: the companies that capture the core link in new production methods will become the next generation of chain leaders;

• Combined with China's manufacturing strengths, robotics stands out as a key AI deployment arena. Embodied intelligence, as a new bridge between digital and physical worlds, demands breakthrough innovation in software-hardware integration and sustained, close collaboration between academia and industry.
