MochiaoI am Mochiao, currently working on AI products at Tara while studying Finance at UIBE. This is where I keep my product work, writing, and small useful tools.
PROFILE
I work on AI products at Tara and study Finance at the University of International Business and Economics. I care not only about using technology, but about turning models into products, understanding how information becomes expectation, and making difficult work legible.
My experience spans the AI startup ecosystem, investment banking, industry research, and product development. Writing is another form of building: turning a vague question into a structure that can be examined and extended.

Independent thought demands autonomy of the subject, yet the structure of thinking presupposes the presence of others. Both propositions are true, and they cannot be reconciled—an essay that stays in that contradiction a while.
Raising hype from an everyday term of abuse into an analytical concept: its definition, its dynamics, its political economy, and why seeing through hype may itself be a form of hype.
A short survey of LLM evaluation: from MMLU to agent benchmarks, and how eval stopped being a post-training QA step and became the thing that shapes the model.
A five-character regulated verse written to a set theme—a painting of gleaners—under a fixed rhyme, revisited years later and lightly revised.
“Build something that compounds.”
