About
I co-founded AGI Villa and MatchPoint, and I am Head of City Ecosystem at Datawhale.
I accompanied the SuperAI team through universities, open-source communities, and AI companies in Hangzhou and Shanghai, including Zhejiang University, ModelScope, Qwen, and MiniMax, then represented Datawhale at their conference in Singapore.
I wrote five observations from those conversations. One that still sits with me: a conference week is a weak substitute for a relationship the rest of the year.
GlobalTechEvents is the index I use to pull technology conferences and community events into one calendar.
Datawhale AI+X Events is the shared calendar for AI meetups, workshops, hackathons, and university, city, and industry events.
In 2026 I also wrote about running 31 agents, including the tasks that failed and the automations I stopped.

Five observations from Hangzhou and Shanghai
Field note from that China visit. A two-day conference does not carry the relationship by itself.

Meetups, workshops, hackathons, and university, city, and industry events. A different list from the flagship weeks.
