This week, I welcomed back Qian Yu on the show to talk about China’s AI (especially embodied AI) ecosystem.
If you would like to know how Chinese entrepreneurs can start new AI robotics/embodied AI product, this would be a good episode to listen to. We also talked about World Model vs VLA, educational institutions involved in AI industry and some of the projects that we have seen recently like the Honor and Xiaomi humanoid robots.
I talked about the difference between reinforcement learning in world model vs LLMs. How can you have recursive self improvement in real world models?
And finally, we also talked about the recent Sugon rack innovation. How Chinese players leveraged domestic supply chain to create a high voltage rack that allows superior cooling to existing solutions.
