Global monopoly of technology

If the Côte d'Azur is now a listed company, its market value will definitely reach the order of 100 billion US dollars, which is almost the same order of magnitude as the "big blue" IBM.

However, compared with Bluestar Technology, it is still more than 200 billion US dollars less. This is normal. The market value of generally asset-light Internet technology companies is much higher than that of asset-heavy hardware technology companies.

We must know that the net profit margin of Bluestar Technology has reached more than 30%. This is a very terrifying profit rate. The money printing machine cannot keep up with the profit harvesting speed, which also makes Bluestar Technology the world's largest technology company by market value. , The world's second listed company.

After Yao Jianhong left, he disclosed the Côte d’Azur’s annual report in less than an hour. The sales of 315 billion yuan made the Côte d’Azur the number one technology company in the consumer electronics field in the Mainland.

The second place is that last year’s global sales revenue was 193 billion yuan (approximately 28.3 billion U.S. dollars), and the revenue of Côte d’Azur surpassed that of Hua’s by 38.7%. You must know that the former has been established for 23 years, while Azure The coast is still under 6 years old.

It’s no wonder that when the joint venture established Xiongxin Electronics, Hua resolutely refused to ask the foundry to hand it over to Lens Semiconductor. Before, you had no money on the blue coast, but now you are richer than me and still thinking about it. I am wool.

The Côte d’Azur released this annual report. The revenue of 46.2 billion U.S. dollars surpassed the performance of Germany's fourth largest bank "Baden-Württemberg" in the last year (46.13 billion U.S. dollars), becoming one of the top 500 in the world in 2009. Ranked 162nd among enterprises, the technology giant deserves it.

The external media also rushed to report that it is remarkable that an entrepreneur can own a Fortune 500 company.And Luo Sheng owns two at the same time, maybe there will be more than two in the future. Just thinking about it makes people feel scalp numb.

...

In the afternoon, Luo Sheng came to the Blue Coast Laboratory, which is called "Huaguo Bell Laboratory" by the outside world. Now it has moved into the new headquarters "Star City". It is taller and has more complete equipment and R&D personnel. Work is also more comfortable and convenient.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is convening Li Chunsheng and other "smart tablet" project developers for a technical meeting.

"Boss, you said that our email communication half an hour ago...wasn't you? But'Little Lan' was using your email?" In the meeting room, Li Chunsheng looked at Luo Sheng in shock.

Luo Sheng nodded with a smile.The so-called "Little Blue" is just a projection of Xiaona, and the two agents are essentially one.

"Boss, are you taking Li Ge for the Turing Test? My God, doesn't this mean that'Little Blue' has passed the Turing Test?"

The other researchers in the meeting were also very shocked. Is Xiaolan's agent already so powerful?

Luo Sheng looked around and smiled: "Don't make a fuss. Passing the Turing test is no big deal. It doesn't mean that Xiaolan can be as intelligent as a human being."

Li Chunsheng and others were all excited when they got the exact reply from Luo Sheng. They never expected that the boss had pushed AI technology to such an incredible level without saying a word. They once thought that the biggest technical pain point of the "smart tablet" project was AI The development of technology did not expect to take the lead in breaking through the biggest technical difficulty.

Luo Sheng continued: "The scope of artificial intelligence is very broad. This is an important scenario for open field research. Now Xiaolan’s dialogue agent is non-professional and can complete dialogue tasks under a wider range of topics. In a specific field, it is possible to chat with users on almost all topics. This technological breakthrough not only has academic value, but also has broad commercial value, inspiring more application scenarios."

An AI technology researcher who attended the meeting nodded and said: "Fully agree, such as deeper human-computer interaction, improving the effect of foreign language training, unmanned driving, medical diagnosis, or for the production of interactive movies and game characters...application scenarios It is too extensive and has infinite imagination. It will inevitably bring profound technological changes to the world."

When the technical team was extremely excited, Luo Sheng was always calm and said: "Through Azure-3's Xiaolan assistant, the current version of Xiaolan that has not yet been upgraded and updated has a serious flaw in the open field chat, and that is the result of it. The content of the dialogue is often meaningless. In most cases, there is no common sense and basic knowledge of the real world, and it is limited to the field of perception. In addition, it is often impossible to give a specific response to the current context.

Li Chunsheng nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, for example,'I don't know' is indeed a reply that can answer any question, but it is not detailed enough. Big data shows that the current version of Xiaolan produces such responses more frequently than humans. A lot, because this response can cover many possible user input."

Luo Sheng asked people to turn on the big screen in the conference room, and then connected to his work computer. After a quick operation, he motioned everyone in the meeting to look at the big screen.

"This is an end-to-end neural dialogue model that can learn how to respond to a given dialogue context. The goal of training Xiaolan is to minimize confusion. And predict the uncertainty of the next mark. Its core is The EvolvedTransformerseq2seq architecture, which is to find a Transformer architecture through an evolutionary neural architecture search, can improve confusion."

Luo Sheng called up a set of new information panels and added: "Xiaolan is composed of an ET encoder and 13 ET decoders. The encoder is used to process the context of the conversation and help Xiaolan understand what has been said in the dialogue and decode The device uses this information to generate actual responses."

An AI technology researcher who attended the meeting stared at the panel information on the big screen and said to himself: "After adjusting the hyperparameters, a more powerful decoder is the key to achieving high-quality dialogue."

Luo Sheng looked at the researcher's succinct name call: "Very well, you can handle this one."

"Good boss, but I need permission."

Luo Sheng nodded and tapped a few times on his computer: "Authorized. In addition, this is an end-to-end neural dialogue model with 5.2 billion parameters. It is worth noting that the degree of confusion is very easy to change. Here is a piece of data for the calculation indicators implemented in a neural dialogue model."

The crowd looked at the big screen in the conference room again.

Luo Sheng said: “Perplexity index. Due to the problems in human evaluation, an evaluation index that can be automatically calculated is very important. This index needs to be able to accurately correspond to human evaluation. There are 8 different model versions, each with hyperparameters and The difference in architecture, such as the number of layers, the number of attention heads, and the number of training steps. It is still ET or a general Transformer. From this data, the lower the confusion model has the higher the score. The correlation coefficient is very strong."

The seminar did not last too long. The people sitting here are all high-IQ developers. Luo Sheng is not a procrastinator. He quickly finalized the major links and the technical team entered the next development process.

According to the established plan, Luo Sheng led the team to continue to reduce the confusion of the neural dialogue model by improving algorithms, architecture, data, and calculations.

Luo Sheng stayed in the Blue Coast Laboratory for more than two hours before returning to his office and calling Yao Jianhong.

...

"Mr. Luo, what's your order?"

Yao Jianhong entered Luo Sheng’s office. The latter put aside his work, pondered for a moment, and said: “The smart tablet is about to be launched, and the technical problems have basically been solved. Now I have to keep up with the content package. You have to do a few things. , The first thing is to donate 10 million US dollars to Wikipedia. We need to obtain the massive data here. The other is to prepare 1 billion US dollars to cooperate with the world’s top academic journals and universities to obtain their knowledge base authorization, which will be done in two months at the latest ."

In addition to these, more data authorization is needed. Of course, Luo Sheng will not let go of the huge database resources of Bluestar Technology, but it cannot be given for nothing. Although the two companies were created by themselves, the Blue Coast is still going blue. Star Technology purchase data.

It looks like it needs about 3 billion US dollars here, and then obtains access to online translation, opens this link, and completes the integration.

Yao Jianhong nodded: "No problem, leave it to me."

The "smart tablet" project of educational aids is a new product launched by Blue Henna in the first half of the year.

Luo Sheng added: “In addition, an additional budget of about US$1.5 billion is being prepared. This money will be used to recruit outstanding middle school and university teachers in various disciplines to produce online course content, including not limited to videos, pictures, text, and audio. Content, haha, this trick will directly defeat various extracurricular training institutions, at least it is a heavy blow, and there is no time to react when the blow comes."

Yao Jianhong thought for a while, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Luo, have you considered the issue of piracy? It costs tens of billions of yuan to create high-quality educational content. Don't think about it, it will definitely flow in in a short time. I can’t seal it all over the Internet."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Of course I have thought about this problem, but for users who want to obtain pirated resources, it means time cost. There is a vast array of information in the Internet world, and it takes a lot of time and cost to find resources that are really useful to them. This is an extremely uneconomical account for people who really want to learn to sublimate themselves."

"Remember, this is not an entertainment resource. Entertainment resources are consumption and killing time. This is a learning resource. Time cost is a very important indicator."

"The outflow of pirated content is a 100% sure fact, but it’s nothing. We are going to crack down on large-scale and systematic sites. This kind of one strikes one standard. As for the small scale, it can be ignored. Incomplete. It is difficult for users to find him. The time and energy it takes to find the content you want is also huge. This is the advantage of AI technology. By using genuine channels, you can get the information you want in the first time. We win by unparalleled efficiency and accuracy. One point is the victory of final induction and technology."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile and added: "One more thing, Bluestar Technology is mine. When Yunge Search defeats Baidu and becomes the leader of Chinese search engines, piracy can kill more than half."

Nowadays, in the Chinese search engine market, a duo of Yunge and Baidu has formed. In the long run, Baidu is retreating and the layout of the mobile Internet is weak. It can be said that it has basically missed the mobile Internet era.

On the contrary, Yunge Search adopts a steady and steady offensive, step by step to monopolize the newly entered Internet residents. This is a slow strangulation process, and it is also a conspiracy. The cards are turned over and played, and the whiteness has little power to resist.

As for foreign countries, there is no need to worry about piracy resources. It must be recognized that overseas protection of intellectual property rights is done well. Whoever dares to embezzle blatantly, the legal team of the Riviera can sue him for bankruptcy.
