Founder - White Tower
I’m building tools powered by the latest AI models.
Di Huang
Hey, I’m Di, founder and CEO of White Tower, an AI application startup. Even with today’s AI, turning a single idea into something truly compelling, like a game worth playing, remains far too difficult. At White Tower, I work with a curious team to build tools that make creative work an order of magnitude easier, enabling anyone to bring their ideas to life. We believe the future of creativity won’t be defined by the tools, no matter how powerful they become. It will be shaped by the people who use them.
Before founding White Tower, I was a PhD researcher in 3D vision at the University of Sydney, exploring how AI can understand and interact with the physical world. During that time, I led and contributed to several research projects, including EasyMocap, MotionGPT, and Fit. I’m also affiliated with ZJU 3D Lab and MMLab.

View allNotes, August 2026“Less is more,” the “60% rule,” and “doing something extremely well” are really about the same thing: figure out the few things that truly matter, focus on them, and do them as well as you possibly can. For everything else, 60% is good enough. Lately, I feel like my brain is constantly looking for some kind of stimulation, and because of that, I end up…
Hard Work != High OutputWhy long hours and individual effort do not guarantee high output, and how efficiency, leverage, direction, and fast execution multiply results.
Think in 10x2x thinking is linear: it asks how to do more of what already works. 10x thinking forces you to question the current path entirely. Because we cannot simply multiply our time and effort, a 10x goal pushes us toward fundamentally better strategies, higher standards, and nonlinear solutions. 80% of the results often come from 20% of the effort. 10x growth…

Ph.D. - The University of Sydney
My Ph.D. focused on deep learning for 3D vision. I was advised by Wanli Ouyang and worked closely with Tong He.
In the beginning, my research explored how better 3D priors and network designs could help solve 3D problems. Later, as NLP advanced rapidly and scaling models and compute started to show remarkable results, I became interested in bringing similar ideas into 3D vision. In particular, I worked on 3D pre-training and explored how to train larger models for 3D understanding and reconstruction.
Along the way, driven mostly by curiosity, I also worked with many junior students on a range of interesting topics, including AI agents and video generation.
I loved my time in Sydney. It is a beautiful city.

During my Ph.D., I explored how AI can understand the physical world through space, shape, and motion.
