SenseTime

SenseTime is the AI company discussed in 132. 对星海图创始人高继扬的3小时访谈：鲶鱼、曾国藩、Waymo与Momenta的两面、一只狼与许华哲的离开 as Gao Jiyang’s early deep-learning exposure. The source says Gao first systematically trained neural networks there and became impressed by data-driven models that learned patterns instead of relying on hand-written if-else rules.

Momenta IPO后再访曹旭东：就是想做没有尽头的AI adds Cao Xudong’s SenseTime period. Cao says he joined in 2015 and worked on product-related R&D lines, which helped him move from research taste into AI commercialization and delivery. He also uses SenseTime-era AI as a contrast: the previous wave of AI often involved many special-purpose small models, while the newer wave uses larger general models and pretraining.

147. 和蚂蚁灵波沈宇军聊：机器人原生基础模型、大脑和本体的关系、预训练与数据scale up、老师汤晓鸥 adds 沈宇军’s early SenseTime exposure. The source presents SenseTime as part of the computer-vision and generation-model lineage that later feeds into Shen’s 蚂蚁灵波 work on Embodied Native Foundation Models.

Connections

• Gao Jiyang — interned there before later work in autonomous driving and robotics.
• Cao Xudong — worked there before founding and scaling Momenta.
• 沈宇军 / Shen Yujun and 汤晓鸥 / Tang Xiao’ou — source-linked research lineage added by episode 147.
• Waymo, Momenta, and Xinghaitu — later stages in the same AI-to-physical-world career path.
• Embodied AI, Physical AI, Autonomous Driving Data Flywheel, and Embodied Native Foundation Models — broader physical-AI direction that grew from computer-vision and autonomous-driving experience.
