When I first met Yu Chen (Managing Partner at Yunqi), we talked at length about AGI. Back then, "LLM" wasn't even a term, and I had no set plans to start a firm. I just knew the direction was right and saw the trend. That conversation truly launched my entrepreneurial journey.

In this cutting-edge track, Yunqi early backed us with independent insight, no blind trend-chasing. It offered capital, rare patience and professionalism for our universal model R&D.

Yunqi boasts deep tech expertise. I was delighted to meet Yu Chen, its Managing Partner — he is the first investor who actually reviewed our source code. Impressively, they made the investment decision swiftly right after our meeting.

Michael, Founding Managing Partner at Yunqi, always thinks long-term for us. As our first institutional investor, he backed our China return in early fundraising. We’re grateful for Yunqi’s sincere candid advice.
