According to @FuSheng_0306, robotics entrepreneurship is surging because it is easier to raise funding and technically less demanding at the prototype stage. According to @FuSheng_0306, a startup in Shenzhen can assemble a humanoid robot for roughly 2 million RMB, add branding, and secure investment if the unit can walk a few steps. According to @FuSheng_0306, foundation model ventures face far higher thresholds, including around 100 billion parameters, substantial GPU purchases, months of training, and strong benchmark rankings, with weak scores making fundraising difficult. According to @FuSheng_0306, these fundraising dynamics currently favor tangible humanoid robot prototypes over foundation model efforts.
