# About

I’m Pan YANG. On social media, I often use the name “杨攀同学” (Yang Pan Tongxue).

I’m currently building Bilink and running Next Token｜词元之外, an AI video podcast.

## Background

## Writing and conversations

I publish articles on my WeChat Official Account, “杨攀同学” (Yang Pan Tongxue); my earlier articles also appeared on “攀哥四十二” (Pan Ge Forty-Two).  
On the video podcast [Next Token｜词元之外](https://nexttoken.tv), we discuss AI technology, products, and their impact on everyday life.

This website brings together my writing, projects, public activities, and interviews, along with notes on the tools I use.
