Tiger’s Observation: The AI frontier in 2026 is already highly mature, but that’s a good thing — it means real innovation is happening. We don’t need to chase every hot spot, but rather find those deep-seated trends that “really change the rules of the game.”
Next step: Wait for new signals and look for “undercovered” innovation points instead of rushing into already crowded tracks.
