Notes
最近半年团队主要研究 #AI 和 #RWA 赛道比较多,被问及最多的问题:‘#AI 是不是已经过了最热的“炒作期”?’,因为我们看到很多 #AI 加密项目或股票,貌似涨速有点慢或者不涨了!
我的看法是——远远没有。现在的 #AI,差不多就相当于1995年、1996年互联网的阶段。那时候大家刚开始上网,浏览器才出来没几年,亚马逊、谷歌都还没真正爆发,但趋势已经很清晰了。#AI 现在也差不多这样,刚进入加速成长期。
🧐为何这么说?
1️⃣算力依旧是瓶颈,也是最大机会,做AI要训练大模型,需要巨量的算力。美国这边有英伟达,芯片卖到断货。中国这边因为美国的出口管制,反而倒逼出一条本土产业链。比如寒武纪(Cambricon)这种公司,股价和市值都翻了好几倍。背后逻辑很简单:没有芯片,AI走不动。这就是最底层的“铲子生意”。我自己投股票的时候,最看重这种“确定性刚需”,不管AI应用做得怎么样,算力永远少不了。
2️⃣中国的“Buy China”逻辑,中美关系其实是把“双刃剑”。美国不卖顶级芯片给中国,看似是打压,但反过来成了国产替代的超级机会。没有封锁,中国的AI公司可能还在用英伟达的GPU,也不会有动力自己研发芯片。现在反而逼出了一个完整的国产生态。我在看中国半导体、算力相关公司的时候,这一点就是核心逻辑:自给自足是国家战略,市场够大,需求也刚性。
3️⃣政府是超级风投,你要看中国的模式,其实很像10年前的新能源车。那时候政府补贴电池、补贴买车,硬是把比亚迪、宁德时代推起来了。现在AI和机器人也一样,地方政府出补贴、投基金,相当于官方当“早期VC”,先给产业打地基。剩下的就交给企业家去拼执行力。作为投资人,我的判断是:政府方向决定赛道,企业家决定龙头。
投资的衡量标准,我们看一个AI或者机器人项目,最关键是两个问题:
✅它能不能真正解决痛点?比如机器人,能不能真的在家庭里帮老人、能不能在仓库里搬货,不是光好看、噱头大。
✅它有没有产品市场匹配度(PMF)?就是说,这个产品是刚需,还是锦上添花?如果只是“看上去很酷”,但没人愿意为它买单,那就不行。在AI模型上也是一样。现在模型满大街都是,但能真正跑通商业模式的,要么解决企业的需求(比如代码自动化、办公提效),要么解决消费者的需求(比如智能助手、娱乐)。我投项目时,最怕那种“炫技”型公司,看上去技术牛,但没落地场景。
长期趋势我判断,未来3-5年里,AI算力的需求会是现在的10倍甚至100倍。这意味着:
· 上游的芯片、算力基础设施公司,还是最稳的“吃肉”位置。
· 中游的大模型会越来越分化,能落地的会脱颖而出,光靠堆钱堆算力的可能会被淘汰。
· 下游的应用场景(比如机器人),现在看起来还早,但一旦找到像电动车那样的突破口,成长会非常惊人。
所以我们在 #AI 赛道的投资思路:
第一层:算力/芯片 → 确定性最强,国家战略支持,需求无限大(加密也是类似逻辑,分布式GPU算力依旧有空间)。
第二层:大模型 → 拼资源和落地场景,要慎重挑选,差距很快拉开。
第三层:应用(机器人等) → 风险大,但如果踩中龙头,可能是百倍回报。
所以我现在看AI,就像看当年的互联网和新能源车。远远没到泡沫破灭的时候,反而刚刚进入“加速跑道”。🧐
#AI 时代,👇是我们比较看好的美股 #AI 公司:
最近英伟达老板黄仁勋提到,我们仍处于人工智能的早期阶段。现阶段仍然处于超大规模企业部署阶段,属于第二阶段,如👇图。
• 第一阶段(核心基础设施): $NVDA , $ASML , $AMD , $TSM , $AVGO , $NBIS
• 第二阶段(超大规模企业): $MSFT , $META , $GOOGL , $AMZN
• 第三阶段(平台型): $PLTR , $NOW , $TEM , $CRWD , $NET
• 第四阶段(应用集成): $SPOT , $SHOP , $NFLX , $TSLA , $LMND , $FIG

I hope everybody had a nice week. Great to see the reactions we did as a lot of impulse signals triggered where we expected them to(when the least were expecting it once again)💪Lots to unpack and dive into this weekend
