Cyber Zen
Cyber Zen is an AI technology content creator who runs the WeChat public account of the same name (赛博禅心) and is widely known in community circles by the nickname Da Congming. In his writing he describes himself as a media professional with a technical background who follows AI products and industry developments.
Background and representative work
In March 2025, Huxiu republished a commentary he posted from his public account (Chinese) calling for an end to excessive hype around the newly released product Manus as well as groundless disparagement of other projects, arguing that technological progress has never been a story of lone heroes. In the article he states that he has had non-PR technical exchanges with AI teams in China and abroad, produced early technical write-ups of DeepSeek V3 and R1, and says he was among the first to report on Manus. These career details are self-described; see the republished article.
Mentions in the show
Cyber Zen did not take part in either of the two recorded episodes. The hosts refer to him as Da Congming:
- In Weekly #001’s chapter “Token Is New Money: buying a Mac Studio is like minting at home,” Orange says in the Chinese transcript that Da Congming’s bar offers various models for free.
- In Weekly #002’s opening chapter “Shanghai opening: this week’s models, agents, and hardware,” Xiangyang Qiaomu thanks Da Congming and Nan Qiao for inviting the show to record at the AGI Bar in Shanghai.
Distinction from the brand entry: this page covers the individual; the Cyber Zen brand page covers the media brand of the same name.
