Mention in the show
Yubo is not a participant in the episode; the following are the hosts’ own comments. In Weekly #004’s chapter “To-Do、记忆与可见的结果” (To-Do, memory, and visible results) of the Chinese transcript, Xiangyang Qiaomu invokes Yubo’s point as a question: “as Yubo said, would ordinary people really use a lot of To-Do features? Aren’t calendar and To-Do tools too elitist?” (paragraph). In the chapter “Harvey：开源模型与产品壁垒” (Harvey: open-source models and product moats), Yang Pan cites Yubo’s approach as a counterexample on model-selection strategy: “Yubo doesn’t do it that way. Yubo lets you pick any model you want” (paragraph), summarizing the positioning as “through my YouMind, you can use all the frontier models” (paragraph). These remarks are paraphrases and commentary in the show’s context, not statements by Yubo himself.
