PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The 'AI Native' label is losing its luster as the industry enters a deep zone where execution power matters. As large model capabilities converge, the true moat is no longer conceptual innovation but extreme refinement of user experience, engineering details, and market understanding. Entrepreneurs must beware of the restlessness brought by 'cleverness' and return to 'humble' craftsmanship, maintaining strategic focus amid rapid iteration. Only by converting technical advantages into solid product strength can they survive and break through after the window narrows.
