“It was an absolute pleasure working with Levi. He is talented, energetic, and a well rounded rising superstar. Levi thinks outside the box and asks all the right questions. By doing so, he fuels and validates his superb design intuition. He’s extremely customer and end-user focused, which allows him to understand the high-value customer problems to solve and to do so in a user centered way. I would highly recommend Levi to any customer focused solution-drive team.”

Allen Zhu (GSR Ventures): The AI app boom is imminent — the next ByteDance, Kuaishou, or Rednote was likely founded this year. At the 2025 Inclusion Bund Conference, Allen Zhu delivered a clear, unsentimental read on where AI is headed: the real opportunities are beyond the model. Key takeaways for builders & investors Model plateau → miniaturization. Under the Transformer paradigm, core “intelligence” gains are tapering; wins will come from UX and cost. Expect smaller, cheaper models, smarter data curation, and edge deployment. Apps are shifting text → voice → video. Token consumption is exploding in real use cases. Voice is breaking out now; ultra-low-latency video (~1s) could trigger the next wave. Moats live outside AI. Think workflows, editing/polish, proprietary/regulated data, operations, and specialized hardware (e.g., capture devices, smart name badges). Do the “boring, dirty work” others avoid. Agents: go vertical or get absorbed. Generic agents lack defensibility and will be eaten by advancing base models. Build sticky, domain-specific agents tied to real processes and outcomes. Commercialization > vibes. Retention is king. Beware “vibe revenue.” In SV, many VCs wait for ~$2M ARR post-launch; in China, sub-12-month paths to ~$5M ARR are becoming the bar. China founders’ edge & go-global. Strength in To-C experience design and hardware supply chains; look to Japan/SEA/MENA to avoid direct “model wars” and compete on execution. From UNIQUE RESEARCH’s tracking of thousands of AI apps globally, we see the same arc: the model dividend is flattening; winners are those who embed AI into specific scenarios, compress latency/cost, and build non-technical moats in data, workflow, and user insight. Bottom line: Don’t chase generic model horsepower. Ship products that deliver outcomes in real workflows—and measure yourself by retention, renewal, and unit economics. https://lnkd.in/gC63AABv
