外面的VC仍旧挥舞着支票，只是这次不再为"流量买单"，而是要为"AI革命"买单。VC们希望买断的， 是他们脑子里在大厂内部无法孵化的"非共识"。 2021年，原商汤科技副总裁闫俊杰创立了MiniMax；2023年，曾于Google和Meta 参与核心模型研发的 杨植麟创立了月之暗面；原微软亚洲研究院负责人姜大昕博士创立了阶跃星辰；原百度小度科技CEO 景鲲创立了 Genspark。这些名字背后，是一群对 Transformer 架构有深度理解、对 Scaling Law 有信 仰、用数亿算力"喂"出工程直觉的人。 整个2025年，创始人背景带有科技大厂（包括但不限于百度、阿里、腾讯、字节、美团、滴滴、华为、 网易、大疆等企业）的创业融资事件数量超70起。其中，大疆、字节、腾讯、华为、阿里5家的高管创 业事件数量遥遥领先。相应地，智能硬件、AI应用、具身智能成为最集中的创业赛道。 十年，足够让一代技术从实验室走向千家万户，也足够让一种权力结构从巅峰滑向黄昏。 曾几何时，大厂是抵御风险的避风港。但在AI彻底重构生产力的今天，那个严丝合缝的层级组织，正 在逐渐异化为一个巨大的认知囚笼。当"确定性管理"遇上"探索性创 ...

作者｜高允毅 "如果一个 AI 能解 IMO，但解决不了任何现实问题，那它不是通用人工智能。" 这是卡内基梅隆大学助理教授、艾伦人工智能研究所研究科学家，蒂姆·德特默斯对 AGI 给出的判断，他用一篇文章 《通用人 工智能为何不会成为现实》 直接把 AGI 从神坛上拽了下来。 有意思的是，几天后，加州大学圣地亚哥分校助理教授、Together AI 内核副总裁丹·傅，给出了完全相反的判断。他写了一篇 《通用人工智能终将成为现实》 ，说 我们也许早就已经实现了 AGI。 于是，两篇文章，一场关于 "AGI " 的争论，被带进了播客现场。 这场讨论并非空谈，两位嘉宾都是 同时深耕学术界与产业界的一线研究者 。 蒂姆·德特默斯长期深耕深度学习量化领域，即模型压缩，如何在更低精度、更少算力下，让模型保持可用性能。 在蒂姆·德特默斯看来，判断 AGI 是否成立，首先要回到一个常被忽略的前提： 计算是物理的。 在他看来，内存迁移、带宽、延迟，以及冯·诺依曼瓶颈，决定了算力不可能无限扩张。他说 "几乎所有指数增长，最终都会撞 上资源和物理极限"。 所以，指数增长终将放缓，Scaling Law 也不例外。 但丹·傅显然不这 ...
