AI is no longer abstract—ChatGPT marked an “iPhone moment” for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Founders hunting frontier tech and scenes: Unique Capital launches its first U.S.–China AI Study Tour—witness OpenAI’s first DevDay while exchanging with U.S. peers on tech and landing trends.
Itinerary spans coasts (Silicon Valley → New York): visit leading AI companies; attend OpenAI DevDay; meet builders at NVIDIA, Anthropic, Runway, Hugging Face, ULC; talk U.S. AI investing at Insight Partners; visit Stanford, Princeton, and landmarks. A rare go-global networking trip—join us on the path of AI inquiry.
Stops & why
- OpenAI — GPT / DALL·E / Whisper; first DevDay Nov 6 expectations: GPT progress, API improvements, Codex/tools, beneficial applications. Founded 2015 SF (Musk et al.), $1B start; RL roots → pretrained-model era; Meta/Stability open cousins followed.
