TechFlow News — On February 11, Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, posted on social media pointing out that AI Agent development in the non-crypto sector has advanced rapidly over the past two months. This progress has been particularly driven by the emergence of DeepSeek and Europe's Mistral AI, leading to a surge of innovative applications built on LLM APIs, Web2 OAuth, and cloud services.
In contrast, AI Agent development in the cryptocurrency industry has lagged significantly. Most participants remain fixated on token prices, lacking substantial technological innovation or cross-industry applications. Yu questioned whether the industry can achieve breakthrough innovation, stating bluntly that making money through trading tokens is not shameful—self-delusion is the real problem.
