还记得Pika吗？这家由曾就读杭二中的斯坦福"天才少女"郭文景，在硅谷创办的AI视频初创公司，或将被Meta（脸书母公司）收购。 据硅谷权威科技媒体The Information（《信息报》）日前消息，Meta和Pika就潜在合作可能性进行了讨论，选项包括直接收购或技术授权。 收购Pika，是Meta对多模态领域短板的"补齐"。据知情人士透露，除了与Pika接触，Meta前不久也与另一家专注于图像和视频生成的初创企业Higgsfield 探讨了收购可能性，只不过没谈拢，相关谈判目前已不再进行。 创立一年半估值超5亿美元 在这一轮人工智能浪潮中，Pika是成立比较早的一家AI生成视频公司。 潜水员探索水下海洋生物，老虎在印度森林徘徊……只需点击几下鼠标，任何人都能用它生成和编辑3D动画、卡通、电影等各种风格的视频，且总体效 果还不错。这在当时引发了海内外社交平台和科技界的暴力刷屏，Pika也一跃成为全球最炙手可热的AI视频生成公司。 Pika 1.0生成的视频 Pika的创始人是斯坦福大学的两位华人博士生郭文景和Chenlin Meng（联创），两人都是斯坦福大学AI Lab博士生。 其中，郭文景曾就读于杭二中 ...

2025 年，是 Agent 按下加速键的一年。 Manus、Devin 等产品的爆火，都在重申一个共识： 大模型将不再只是工具，而是要成为可以自 我调度的智能体 。 Agent 由此成为继大模型之后，全球科技圈最快形成共识的第二个风口。 从巨头的战略重构到创业赛道的快速跟进，Agent 正成为下一个全民下注的方向。但在 C 端产品 密集涌现、开发者为其狂热的同时，真正跑通用户价值闭环的项目却凤毛麟角，越来越多的产品 陷入了「用老需求套新技术」的焦虑。 热浪过后，市场也回归冷静：Agent 究竟是一场范式的重构，还是一次新的包装？所谓「通用」 与「垂直」的路径分野，是否真的带来可持续的市场空间？而「新入口」背后，是交互方式的进 化，还是旧世界的投影？ 顺着这些疑问继续下探，我们会发现，Agent 的真正门槛，或许并不在模型能力，而在其赖以生 存的底层设施。从可控运行环境，到记忆系统、上下文感知、工具调用，每一个基础模块的缺 位，都是 Agent 从演示走向实用的最大阻力。 这些底层工程问题，构成了 Agent 从「潮流玩具」走向「生产力工具」的最大阻碍，也恰恰是当 下最确定、最高价值的创业蓝海。 在这样一个供 ...

我对当下的 AI 市场和明年的发展都极度乐观，明年肯定是个 AI 大年，我发现市场太悲观了，这 就是我拖延了两周，最后决定一定要做这期内容的原因。 来，我们直入主题，先来看这两年 AI 发生了什么。 23 年，AI 来了，很多互联网人和美元基金就直接冲了，因为不管从什么角度看，AI 这波都和大 家熟悉的互联网那波机会太像了，而且天下其实已经苦互联网人久已，从 15 年以后大机会其实就 不多了，18 年以后更是几乎没有，我记得过去两年涨起来的到千万日活的产品可能也就是番茄小 说等极少数的几个。 那互联网人发现我练成一身武功绝学，江湖却没了，这怎么能忍？ 然后市场做了个判断，AI 是不是大机会？肯定是，是什么量级先不说，是对标电、互联网还是云 也先不管，但这里又有个判断，就是 AI 肯定还在早期，所以很多人有个结论，说 AI 要先投技术 背景的人，所以像清华的教授都被撸了一遍，然后 23 年最多的钱就都流向了大模型公司，很少量 的钱流向了做中间层和应用的公司。23 年的时候，但凡你是从 OpenAI 出来的，都像是神坛上的 人，大家到美国去学习也是千方百计拼谁能约到个 OpenAI 的人聊聊。 那冲的结果怎么样呢 ...
