Models, Data @ ICML

Research, Model Labs & Capital Across China and the WorldAs frontier AI becomes more global and more accessible, the next edge is shifting beyond model size alone — toward open model ecosystems, high-quality data, real-world feedback loops, evaluation, agents, multimodal systems, robotics, and domain-specific deployment.During ICML Seoul, Creek Stone, Gaorong Ventures, and leaders from major AI model companies are bringing together a curated group of researchers, model lab builders, technical founders, and investors from China and around the world.The goal is to create a high-signal room for people thinking seriously about how AI research turns into real models, real products, and real companies.China has become one of the fastest-moving AI ecosystems globally — not only in model development, but also in open-weight models, product iteration, engineering talent, and real-world AI deployment. This gathering is designed to connect that momentum with the global ICML research community.Who to expect:Researchers from ICML and leading AI labsBuilders and leaders from major Chinese and global model companiesTechnical founders working on agents, multimodal AI, infra, robotics, evals, data, and applied AITier-1 venture investors from China and global marketsOperators and ecosystem builders connecting research, product, and capitalExpect a curated room, informal conversations, and a sharp discussion around where frontier AI is actually being built next.During ICML Seoul, Creek Stone, Gaorong Ventures, and leaders from major AI model companies will jointly invite a batch of researchers, model company builders, technical founders, and investors from China and around the world to participate in a high-quality closed-door exchange.China has become one of the fastest-growing AI ecosystems globally. This is reflected not only in model development but also in open-source models, product iteration, engineering talent, and real-world deployment. This event aims to connect this momentum with the global ICML research community.You will meet:Researchers from ICML and leading AI labsBuilders and leaders from major Chinese and global model companiesTechnical founders working on agents, multimodal AI, AI infra, robotics, evaluations, data, and applied AITier-1 venture investors from China and global marketsEcological participants connecting research, products, and capitalExpect a curated room, relaxed yet high-quality exchanges, and real discussions about where frontier AI is being built next.
