The new era is never short of myths. All the myths of this round are the result of quiet, hard work. Whoever speaks out first will have a poor product. Becoming an internet celebrity first won't make a good company. A good company naturally becomes an internet celebrity. Alibaba's "Thousand Questions" still has its strength; the problem is that it shouldn't hold large-scale press conferences to boast and announce goals. The best entrepreneurs of the next era should have a more relaxed mindset; otherwise, their mentality will be poor. Entrepreneurs who crave fame have psychological issues, and their internal and external rhythms become even more chaotic. Seeing that MiniMax's market value has indeed surpassed Baidu's current value. Founder Yan Junjie was an intern at Baidu Research Institute (IDL) in 2014. Dario Amodei, founder of Anthropic, also interned at Baidu at the same time, and his first formal AI job was also at Baidu. Both were considered Baidu's "strongest interns" of that year. Another person from their era was Andrew Ng. A former Baidu CTO told me over drinks that Ng was originally an internet celebrity. He didn't do much real research, but his fame was the biggest. He talked too much and did too little. Today, Wu Jin has become a globally renowned AI-powered online instructor. His online courses are of much higher quality than those on campus. His performance validates my earlier point. It's worth noting that MiniMax's revenue is only 0.4% of Baidu's (a difference of 239 times). Furthermore, their former employer, Baidu CEO Robin Li, spoke too soon. In a 2015 CCTV program, when discussing former employees starting their own businesses, he said, "If they wanted to compete, they definitely couldn't beat me." What impressed me most was last year when a media reporter interviewed Mr. Li, asking why he launched Wenxin Yiyan so quickly—because the product wasn't good enough. He replied decisively, "Our customers have a need for it."
