我们的判断,以及什么改变了我们的判断

We publish the arguments, evidence and observations shaping our investment decisions — including where experience has caused us to revise them.

我们发表的是那些正在塑造我们投资决策的论点、证据与观察——也包括那些经验后来让我们修正了原先判断的地方。

2025: A Year of Clarification

2025:澄清之年

The year’s real work was deciding what not to own. Instead of joining the model-layer arms race or the application-layer hype, we kept backing companies where AI operates as invisible leverage — on the view that durable value forms where a technology meets a hard constraint.

这一年真正花力气的,是想清楚什么不该买。我们没有去挤模型层的军备竞赛,也没有追应用层的热闹,而是继续投那些让 AI 成为隐形杠杆的公司——因为真正立得住的价值,长在技术与硬约束相遇的地方。
