The AI Agent Project Learned the Essence of "Copycat Model" from Huaqiangbei, Started from Imitation, Stronger than Subversion

In recent days, when the market has been falling, you must have been flooded with messages about this little fat girl - a "fat version" of ai16z, whose corresponding token is LLM (Large Language Models), which literally means "large language model".

In this pun, Large (an extra-large size of common clothing sizes) has become a funny meme point. It is indeed an enlarged ai16z, and it also doubles as a pun on the large language model in current generative AI. As a result, the market value of this meme coin quickly exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Some group members even said that this is not ai16z, but ai160kg. It was an unexpected entertainment effect.

In the current crypto ecosystem, you have to admit that sometimes it is better to find angles smartly than to work on a project seriously.

In this fat girl meme incident, the editor thought of a popular phenomenon in the current crypto market:

AI projects are beginning to be keen on deliberately giving themselves a "copycat name" to play with homophonic puns, deconstructing and deriving from the original, and then developing their own characteristics. For example, LLM is obviously derived from ai16z, and ai16z itself is also an imitation and derivative of the well-known crypto VC a16z...

We have reviewed the more well-known pun projects and found that there may be many wealth codes to be discovered while chatting.

ai16z +Marc "AI"ndreessen: The beginning of all puns

Needless to say, one of the leaders in this round of AI agent craze started with an entertaining idea - to copy well-known crypto VCs and founders on the chain to form an AI version.

In addition to the name ai16z, which reflects AI and is a benchmark for a16z crypto venture capital, the project is also accompanied by a personal account called @pmairca, which is obviously a homophone of the @pmarca account of a16z founder Marc Andreessen.

The meaning of the Twitter profile is also very straightforward - I want to imitate, and I want to surpass.

DegenAI: When AI begins to become the on-chain mirror of KOL

If ai16z is imitating investment institutions, then DegenAI (@degenspartanai) is targeting well-known KOLs in the crypto circle.

DegenAI (@degenspartanai) chose to imitate DegenSpartan (@DegenSpartan), a well-known trader in the crypto community. This trader, who goes by the name "찌G 準じ", is quite influential in the circle. He is a former private crypto fund manager and a highly-regarded KOL on social media. Players who frequently surf CT will definitely be familiar with him.

Interestingly, this AI project also comes from the ai16z ecosystem.

This imitation account not only inherits DegenSpartan's trading style, but also replicates its sharp and acrimonious speaking style on social media.

Moreover, from the perspective of automatic trading agents, choosing to imitate well-known traders such as DegenSpartan, to some extent, really has the meaning of "letting AI learn from top traders".

X Combinator: A new letter in honor of Y Combinator

X Combinator is an AI project incubation platform in the Solana ecosystem that imitates Y Combinator (YC for short). This project positions itself as "the best AI incubator and launchpad on Solana", and is obviously drawing on YC's successful model in the Web2 startup circle.

Unlike traditional incubators, X Combinator focuses on incubating AI agent projects, especially autonomous trading agents. They have established a launch pad program called "Project X" to screen and cultivate excellent AI trading agent projects through this platform.

This positioning is very consistent with the current development trend of the AI track in the Solana ecosystem, as more and more projects are beginning to apply AI technology to areas such as automated trading, investment DAOs, and data analysis.

In terms of the operating model, X Combinator has established a strategic fund to invest in top autonomous trading agents that have emerged from its launchpad projects. This model is similar to YC's investment support for outstanding entrepreneurial projects.
