I’ve loved every book by Sebastian Mallaby, and The Power Law has influenced my investment philosophy. The Infinity Machine is, in my view, one of the best books on AI I’ve read in recent years. Congratulations to Jiangong on bringing us such a high-quality Chinese translation.

So, I set making the Midas List as my goal—even though back then, it was just a vague idea I read from a b-school case.

Today, it’s no longer a metric I actively think about, but this recognition is a powerful reminder of where my VC journey began, and how far I've come.

Honored and humbled to be included in the Forbes Midas List for the first time. 🏆

15 years ago, after @Columbia_Biz , I switched from tech into VC. Like many of my generation, I was used to setting goals, without asking what truly drove me.

Congrats to Axera (https://t.co/3smcDIgp7z) on its HKEX listing today. Just 40 days into 2026, this marks my 3rd IPO of the year. Axera, Biren, and https://t.co/xxq5GZLItp — all rooted in AI, all backed by Qiming Ventures from the early stages, and I served as a board director.

Tiangong Ultra, the champion of the world's first robot half-marathon, has shown amazing running capabilities. But what other skills and application scenarios can it unlock? #TiangongUltra #humanoidrobot

@ilyasut So Jensen is Satoshi？😀

[Alex Zhou @alexzzf]

joking with some of my AI big model entrepreneurs. They just have a dozen people but already a few hundred million dollars in valuation. Risky? Not really. If they can’t build a state-of-the-art model in a year, they can sell their GPUs and give investors a 30-40% return😂

[Ilya Sutskever @ilyasut]

GPU = new Bitcoin

Several large language models were tested on time series reasoning
