AI gives you five years of skill in a minute, but it can’t cultivate the sweeping monk’s “no move beats a move”

AI can hand you crash-course moves, can quickly turn you from a clueless outsider into a beginner who can wave his hands around a bit, but it can’t give you the “kung fu beyond kung fu” that a real master grinds out after decades of rolling through the jianghu — taking blades, stepping in pits, seeing through the tricks behind the rules. Those real sweeping monks never carry in their hearts the standard motions of this move or that; they carry the whole jianghu — its shifting winds and tides, the way people’s loyalties turn. That kind of cultivation is never something a crash-course secret manual can give.

How LlamaIndex's SummaryIndex Works

`SummaryIndex` is a powerful tool in LlamaIndex for handling global questions. Its core mechanism is to **pass the complete document to the large model as context, leveraging the model's comprehension ability to generate a global summary or answer**. With sensible parameter configuration and a streamlined process, you can get high-quality global answers. In practice, it's a good idea to combine `VectorStoreIndex` and `SummaryIndex` and automatically pick the right query engine based on the type of question, so users get more comprehensive and accurate answers. This dual-engine architecture makes the most of both index types: it can handle specific local questions as well as questions that require reading the whole document to answer, providing solid support for building a high-quality Q&A system.

Summary of AI Large Model Context Window Info — November 2025

This afternoon, while reading through the MCP docs, I noticed that Claude's official documentation suggests copying the full text of documents longer than 50,000 characters straight into the conversation, which struck me as unreasonable (way too many input tokens). Curious whether today's large models can actually handle that, I gave it a try with Doubao — and the context overflowed. Trae's Builder also warned that it only supports prompts up to 6,000 characters. I normally ask questions with documents, so pasting content directly into the chat felt like "a battle fought with such deep pockets" — a novelty. In the end I had the AI tally up the context window sizes of mainstream large models.

Some notes from the 2025 Volcano Engine Force Conference

ByteDance is pushing on many fronts at once. It takes every form factor to the extreme at the product level — not only in multimodal conversational assistants (consumer-facing), cloud native, FaaS and other areas, but it's already speeding down the highway on the entry-point and ecosystem side. What struck me most was Trae Solo. Sure, it's vaporware, so I'll hold off on it for now — but why would Trae, an app aimed at programmers, get so many sessions and so much airtime over two days? I think it's wildly ambitious. Trae Solo could someday become another kind of browser, or another kind of integrated office suite. I say it replaces the browser because it will become the entry point for getting all information. I say it becomes office software because it will become the tool for producing every digital output. For me, Trae can replace Doubao, replace Coze Space, replace Manus, replace Fellou, replace any agent. MCP gives it unmatched extensibility; being a VSCode environment means it inherently has the low-level ability to run all kinds of local tools; and writing and compiling code is the ultimate fallback for whatever the above can't do. It can produce code, produce documents, analyze data — it can be a work partner and an expert in any form.

Learning Product with the AI Product Manager's Handbook: Reading and Knowledge Notes

I came across an introduction to the second edition of the AI Product Manager’s Handbook online, found it quite thought-provoking, and went and got myself a copy to read. The AI Product Manager’s Handbook is a practical guide to the field of AI product management, intended to help readers systematically understand and master the key methods and approaches for building, managing, and maintaining AI products in real-world work. The book was written by Irene Bratsis, and the second edition was published by Packt Publishing in November 2024. It not only covers the fundamentals of AI product management but also digs deep into technical infrastructure, model development and maintenance, deep learning, commercialization strategy, and product design, among other areas.

The era of large models forces humans to reimagine originality and uniqueness

Wrongly flagged by AI, how do I prove “I didn't cheat with AI”? What struck us most is this: should the way we teach evolve along with technology? If AI can already do these things so well, why assign homework that AI can do so well? Where does human uniqueness come in — shouldn't homework be built around what makes humans unique?
