作者 | 张小河 编辑 | 宝珠 视觉 | 诺言 2025年4月23日，猿辅导武汉公司一名年仅20多岁的年轻男性员工李某，在办公室猝死，而他原计划于5 月2日举行婚礼。 从事件经过来看，4月22日中午，李某前往猿辅导上班，晚上加班期间，未再回复他的未婚妻信息。未 婚妻凌晨报警后，随同民警前往公司寻找，但因公司各楼层大门均有门禁，无法进入李某的办公区。直 到4月23日上午，保洁员打扫卫生时发现李某在办公室，但已经没有了呼吸。 事发后，猿辅导公司以"网络故障"为由通知员工调休，引发外界对真相透明度的质疑。 目前，劳动监察部门已介入工亡认定，但具体结论尚待调查。 当年轻的猿辅导员工倒在婚礼前10天的工位上时，一场猝死悲剧，撕开了在线教育行业光鲜表皮下的暗 疮。一个年轻生命的消逝，更折射出当前众多企业对员工身心健康的系统性忽视、企业伦理建设的落 后。 一家管理苛刻的教培公司 猝死事件发生后，一名前员工在接受采访时表示，作为班主任要负责400多个单科学生，要巡视班级上 课情况、课后接受答疑，"每天从下午1点工作到凌晨"。 并且，教师还需要负责卖课，"每天晚上要群里报告进展。这些电话都要录音，公司会随机抽查录音， 发现你 ...

通用大模型难以满足教育的复杂需求，给了教育 AI 落地的机会。今年 3 月国外知名投资机构 A16Z 发布了全球最赚钱的前 50 个 AI 应用收入，数学解题、语言学习的应用贡献了前 50 总收入的 8%。 这些学习类 AI 的底层依然是通用大模型，但它们找到了刚需场景，提供了比通用大模型更好的解决 方案。当底层模型趋同时，安全专业的服务、对垂直场景的深度理解，才是留存用户的关键。 抢滩教育 AI，猿辅导这次赌对了吗? AI 正以迅猛的速度追赶人类智力。当大模型在越来越多垂直领域上持续进步，创业公司们还有生存空 间吗？ AI 应用创业公司最近一次感到恐慌，来自 GPT-4o 文生图功能的更新，其生成的吉卜力风格图片刷爆 社交媒体，效果超过 Midjourney、Stable Diffusion、Gemini 等对手。"复杂工程化注定会被模型碾 碎"，资深产品设计师 "歸藏" 说，"如今都被一个简单对话界面所取代。" 在猿辅导集团副总裁王向东看来，大模型吞噬垂类应用的事情，在教育行业不会发生。 他认为文生图的需求简单、标准化，而教育需求极度复杂且非标。中小学生的需求包括作业检查、知 识讲解、错题总结、心理陪伴等 ...

猿辅导提供了另一个让低龄孩子安静下来，且能学有所获的解决方案。 对消费硬件公司来说，新品发布的节奏至关重要：以往燃油车四、五年一改款，现在新能源一年一款已是 常态，手机行业类似，尽管早已进入性能过剩时代，但厂商 "挤牙膏" 也要年年发新品。 快速上新带来的好处是，更加新潮、有趣、个性的产品总能吸引新用户，不同价位的新品也能占住更广的 市场；但上新速度越快，新品的平均销量就更低，产品生命周期也会更短，如果新品连连失败，公司就会 为此付出一大笔沉没成本。 2021 年政策环境变化后，教育科技公司们都开始寻找新方向。学习机是所有主要教育公司的选择，因为和 主业直接相关。他们大多遵循消费硬件的惯例——快速发新品，覆盖多价位。 学而思在发布第一代学习机 10 个月之后就发布了二代，课程内容基本没调整，只是屏幕和内存更大、电 池更耐用了。同样，三年时间，作业帮覆盖了学习机、学练机、学习笔、单词机等多个品类，光是学习机 就有 4 款。 在成熟产业链上做新产品，成本低廉且便捷易行。 猿辅导做了不一样的选择，从 2021 年入局硬件至今，只推出了一款主打 "以练促学" 的墨水屏学练 机，"力出一孔打透一个点，比上来就打五个点， ...

过去两年，学而思、作业帮、猿辅导先后交出了学习机答卷， 并改变了原有市场格局。 据洛图数据，今 年上半年学习机销量排名前四名猿辅导、作业帮、小度、学而思，三家教育科技公司市场份额加起来已超 过 40%； 2021 年，学习机市场还是步步高、优学派、读书郎的天下，三家吃下了 39.3% 的市场。 今年上半年的销售量第一名猿辅导，是教育公司里最晚发布产品的 。 2023 年 5 月，猿辅导正式发布了 采用墨水屏的小猿学练机。 一年之后，猿辅导的小猿学练机卖出了 80 万台，收入 30 亿元。在此之前，中国出货量最大的墨水屏公司 一年最多卖掉 15 万台。 一场所有教育公司参与的命题考试。 2021 年初开始，教育公司们不约而同地走进了同一个新考场：做学习平板，去和步步高、优学派、读书郎 抢生意。 这些公司基本都没做过复杂硬件，也没怎么去购物中心开过店。但政策环境变化后， 他们必须找新增长方 向 ，有的开咖啡店、有的直播卖货，但学习平板几乎家家都做，因为和主业相关。 交卷机会也只有一次：软件上线后可以快速迭代，改硬件就得等下一代，浪费近一年。 他们误打误撞赶上了市场的转机。手机、平板出货量已连续下滑两年，学习机却在 ...
