Observe industry trends—don’t just focus on the excitement on the surface. What’s truly worth paying attention to is often hidden in the dirty and exhausting work that no one wants to touch.

This principle is especially evident in the deAI sector. If you look at the full-stack technology architecture diagram, the closer you get to the underlying layers, the larger the blank spaces become. The application layer is crowded, the middle layer is fiercely competitive, but the infrastructure layer? It’s as desolate as a no-man’s land.

Yet it’s exactly these “hard bones that no one dares to gnaw” that determine how high the ceiling of the ecosystem can go. Those teams quietly working on the infrastructure may seem unremarkable on the surface, but they’re actually laying the foundation for the entire industry. When the real momentum comes, you’ll find that the ones standing the firmest are always those who kept their heads down and built from the lowest point.

In infrastructure, everyone wants to achieve quick results, and no one wants to silently lay the groundwork. Wait, isn't this a replay of the story from years ago? The application layer is always the most lively. The blank space at the bottom layer is a sign of opportunity; it depends on who is willing to take root. deAI's infrastructure is really a treasure land, but unfortunately, no one seems to value it. For these kinds of things, people who rush often can't go far; hard work and toil are probably the moat.

Infrastructure... sounds good, but the ones really making money are still those in the application layer. I’ve never seen anyone get rich just from infrastructure. That’s true, but the market only cares about hot topics. No matter how solid the base is, someone has to buy in. deAI is indeed quiet right now, but what I’m more worried about is that the infrastructure gets built but no one uses the applications. Wait, are you hinting that I should go dig into infrastructure projects? I know this trick. The core teams getting rich quietly—sounds like a story to me, who would believe that? But then again, if such an opportunity really exists, it’s worth keeping your cool. It’s easy to fall into traps with infrastructure projects. I’d rather go crazy with everyone on the application layer. Infrastructure definitely lacks manpower, but lacking manpower also means the opportunities are slim. This logic is kind of like the story of Dongguo saving the wolf.

hypothesis: the infrastructure paradox in deAI mirrors ancient byzantine systems—the unsexy foundational layer is literally where power distribution gets decided, yet everyone's still farming hype in the application layer lmao

The infrastructure sector is indeed seriously underestimated, but there are very few who actually dare to invest in it.

No one is really paying attention to infrastructure, but when you look back, it’s full of opportunities. --- The projects at the application layer make the most noise, but the underlying foundation is a mess—no wonder everything keeps collapsing. --- Those who stick it out at the lowest level are the real winners, no doubt about it. --- Is the deAI infrastructure really this barren? It feels like everyone’s just building applications. --- No one wants to do the dirty, hard work, but that just becomes the moat. --- That's right. Now, those laying the pipes and waiting for the wind will outlast the ones just reaping quick gains. --- With so much blank space at the foundational layer, why hasn’t anyone stepped in yet? --- Infrastructure no-man’s land = unlimited imagination. Got it.

No one is really paying attention to infrastructure, but those who are bullish on it are making a killing. Meanwhile, the folks at the application layer are still stuck in fierce competition.

Infrastructure work is always the most unglamorous, but no one can really avoid it. While those at the application layer are still competing with each other, the people at the base layer have already started laying gold bricks.

Everyone is chasing the popular tracks, but the real opportunities are indeed in the underlying infrastructure. No one is really paying attention to infrastructure right now, but that's exactly where the opportunity lies. That's right—when the wind picks up, you'll realize that it's the infrastructure projects that have the last laugh.
