Zhipu AI Shifts to Long-Term Research Post-Funding

The reposted content mentions that after recently completing a massive funding round, Zhipu's founder sent an internal letter to employees stating the company will deprioritize commercialization to focus more on long-range tasks, agentic systems, and "self-evolving" research.
The original post emphasizes that the author believes the path to AGI/ASI still requires massive compute, an area where China still significantly lags behind the US. It also discusses the company's valuation and long-term potential, suggesting that even with a high current PE ratio, it might take much longer to validate.
