Building an AI product is a little like surfing: read the wave, make the move, keep going. The heart of surfing is finding patterns in randomness, catching the opportunity, and mastering the rhythm—miss it, and the wave is already gone.

Dylan Long · SnapSnap

7 years of AI experience.

Before ChatGPT 2.5, I was already hand-building the Transformer architecture. I thought it was a powerful framework, and I have been exploring what AI can become ever since. I have taken AI products from 0 to 1, testing cold starts, customer acquisition, and marketing in both domestic and international markets.
