Is it the real deal?

Even 80-year-old grandpas are coming to learn AI!
Immediate impressions after attending the AI event:
Product iteration is happening too quickly.
Zhipu released a new generation model GLM-5.1 with a 10% price increase.
Stocks are also impressive, already up 8 times this year, terrifying!
There are several companies working on improved versions of openclaw, but it seems only Cheetah lacks distinctive features, mainly focusing on paid security enterprise skills. In such a highly developed and free AI environment, charging for skills is a very difficult path. One company is working on lobster memory, another on lobster visualization control, which is very useful for many semi-automated workflow processing.
Another company is developing an AI education community that is now starting to negotiate policies with the government. They are acquiring buildings nationwide, mostly funded by the government, providing resources and free entry, inviting OPC to join. It’s surprising that ❗ actually shows that even micro and small enterprises have a high failure rate; mass entrepreneurship has directly evolved into individual entrepreneurship, mostly driven by passionate young people. Currently, AI monetization still mainly involves selling tokens and AI training.
AI animation is currently the most numerous among AI micro-innovation companies. They integrate some excellent large models and embed optimized personalized experiences on the front end. Essentially, it’s still in the water-selling category.
There’s also a very good 3D modeling AI company.
Saw familiar big names like Luo Zhenyu and Fu Sheng.
It’s clear that the core of domestic AI still lies in the price and output quality of large models. Midstream companies are diligently optimizing their products.
A controversial point: most of the conference speeches were mainly demonstrations of their own products, feeling like attending an advertisement event. Spending over 800 to listen to ads seems a bit not worth it…
