UC Berkeley
加州大学伯克利分校
UC Berkeley is the University of California, Berkeley, a public research university that has surfaced repeatedly in elsewhere's coverage of AI and robotics as a training ground for prominent Chinese founders and researchers in embodied intelligence and machine learning. The institution appears in the bundle primarily through its alumni and affiliates rather than as a subject itself: Zhang Wei, founder of LimX Dynamics, was a postdoctoral researcher there ; Gao Yang, co-founder of Qianxun Intelligence, conducted machine vision research at Berkeley ; and Huazhe Xu, another robotics researcher, overlapped with Gao in the same lab group . Pieter Abbeel, a Berkeley professor, hosted the podcast where Geoffrey Hinton discussed his deep learning career . Beyond robotics, the university's computer systems research group originated BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) in 1977, and its open-source projects include PostgreSQL . Elsewhere's corpus does not contain a dedicated institutional profile of UC Berkeley itself.

Why Are Half of Today's Large Model Builders Studying Physics?
From Hopfield and Hinton's Nobel Prize to Anthropic's CEO, xAI's pre-training lead, and He Kaiming's latest physical world model: the through-line of physics has persisted for four decades. This is no coincidence — it's a particular "taste" that happened to collide with the right era.
