Chapter 119 Star pupil and Alpha
Before participating in this World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Xu Lei thought that it had a high standard in the industry. After all, the people invited were the heads of world-renowned Internet technology companies and industry academicians.

But after the opening ceremony, he realized that the whole conference seemed to be the same.

Except for domestic companies such as Penguin's Ma Teng Qiandu's Li Yan who attended in person, the rest of the parties, such as Gugetlas, attended the conference online.

It is somewhat disappointing.

But since it's all here, the Lingsi artificial intelligence chip must take this opportunity to announce it to the public.

For things like influence, the sooner you can earn more new exhibits, the sooner you can unlock them.

……

"Next, let's invite future technology representatives to come on stage. This time the keynote speaker is..."

After Liang Fuxing, who was sitting under the stage, heard this sentence, he immediately got up and straightened his clothes, and turned to Xu Lei who was beside him.

"Mr. Xu, that's up."

"Ah."

But Xu Lei just nodded slightly, without any waves on his face.

Because he saw absolute confidence in Liang Fuxing's eyes, it was destined that today's conference would be the home of Lingsi artificial intelligence chips.

But it's worth mentioning that just after Liang Fuxing stepped onto the stage, Li Yan, the chairman of Qiandu Company who was also sitting below, was full of disappointment, as if something failed to meet his expectations.

Although Xu Lei didn't notice this scene, Ma Teng happened to see it.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking a question.

"Chairman Li seems very disappointed. Isn't it more conducive to the development of artificial intelligence that Future Technology can participate in this conference?"

Although artificial intelligence is hailed as the trend of future industry development, basically large companies will conduct research and plan in advance, but compared to Xiaoqian, an artificial intelligence project under Qiandu, Penguin is definitely weaker.

Originally, Ma Teng did not need to attend this kind of conference in person at all, he could choose to attend online or send representatives.

It was only after seeing that Xu Lei would also participate in person that he changed his mind.

He wanted to take this opportunity to contact Xu Lei offline to see if he could draw in the relationship between the two parties and eliminate the small friction caused by the authorization service fee of the Magic Star Engine.

As we all know, the artificial intelligence technology owned by Future Technology is in the leading position in the world, otherwise it would not be easy to develop an intelligent tool with a high degree of autonomy such as the phantom engine Yinglong chip design software.

Qiandu should be happy to have such a company sharing amazing experience.

You know, there are not many opportunities like this.

Faced with Ma Teng's question, Li Yan did not deliberately conceal it, and directly said straight to the point: "It is really surprising that Future Technology can participate in this conference, but unfortunately their president Xu did not give a speech on stage, and I am afraid that they will not hear any surprises." news."

"That's right."

Knowing the reason for Li Yan's disappointment, Ma Teng echoed this sentence and stopped talking too much.

Mainly, they didn't know Liang Fuxing. Seeing Xu Lei send such a person to give a speech, they would naturally think in a bad direction.

I think that Future Technology's participation in this conference did not bring anything. It is just like those overseas companies that attended online, just deal with it casually.

And as time passed, Liang Fuxing finally got to the point after finishing his foreshadowing.

"The improvement of the level of artificial intelligence is inseparable from the support of computing power. For this reason, our company has specially developed this Lingsi artificial intelligence chip, which will be used in the new large-scale intelligent data center of future technology, and promote the faster development of industry and technology. .”

And the moment the voice fell, the specific data of the Lingsi chip appeared on the big screen behind him.

At first, many company representatives didn't take Liang Fuxing's words too seriously, until they saw the specific data displayed on the screen, their eyes widened.

Couldn't help taking a breath.

Especially Li Yan, whose whole face was instantly shocked to the extreme.

"Sigh~"

"It's actually a 1nm artificial intelligence chip. The future technology is really big this time!"

In order to achieve technological leadership in the field of artificial intelligence, Qiandu designed their own artificial intelligence chip two years ago, but compared with Lingsi at this time, the gap in performance and power consumption is simply one sky and one earth.

The key is that everyone now knows that although Xu Lei has conquered the 1-nanometer chip production process, due to the high cost and price, major manufacturers are still pursuing 3-nanometer chips.

This is why the 1nm chip has not come out for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Future Technology finally designed it, and it was still an artificial intelligence chip.

According to a rough estimate, if chips of this specification are to be used in a large data center, it will cost more than 100 billion to build them all.

It can be seen that future science and technology attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence technology.

able to determine.

After this conference is over, I believe that major companies will increase their investment in the field of artificial intelligence to prevent being too far away from future technology and eventually being eliminated by the times.

As for the audience watching the content of the conference online at the moment, they are also very excited after seeing the domestic 1nm chip finally come out.

They swiped the barrage in the live broadcast room one after another.

"I thought everyone was willing to make 1-nanometer chips, but I didn't expect it to come out."

"Future technology is awesome!"

"For chips with such a high cost, future technology is only used to build data centers, and Mr. Xu is really serious about developing technology."

"How can technology be developed without investment in the early stage? I support Mr. Xu."

"Speaking of this, I have to mention Ali's Bodhidharma Institute. It is said that it is the result of research, but it does not invest money."

……

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference lasted for three days, but because the future technology stole the limelight on the first day, it did not participate in the next two days of the conference.

Return to Binjiang City the next day.

However, with the popularity of Lingsi artificial intelligence chips gradually spreading around the world, no matter domestic or overseas, all companies that deploy artificial intelligence research have increased their capital investment and developed their own new generation of artificial intelligence chips.

No one wants to be left behind in this field.

Liganife.

Jingshan City.

In the Guge headquarters building, Wu Kangsheng, who is in charge of the development of AI Alpha, is currently in the office of Chairman Ellis, reporting the situation of the Lingsi artificial intelligence chip.

"The latest artificial intelligence chip launched by Future Technology uses a 1-nanometer specification. I am afraid that once their data center is built, their artificial intelligence will become more powerful and can be used in more scenarios."

Since the failure to decipher the virus program last time, Wu Kangsheng has been a bit depressed since returning to the company.

The artificial intelligence developed by Future Technology, like an unshakable boulder, became a shadow in his heart, so that he lost confidence in the Alpha he developed.

Especially now that Future Technology has launched a 1-nanometer artificial intelligence chip, I am afraid that its improvement speed will increase by leaps and bounds.

But just as Wu Kangsheng's eyes gradually dimmed, he saw Ellis get up from his seat and walk over, and asked a question in a deep voice.

"Do you think our Alpha is inferior to the artificial intelligence of future technology?"

"This……"

Wu Kangsheng obviously didn't expect Ellis to ask such a question, although he looked a little surprised, he still answered truthfully.

"Future technology can decipher the key, and the online Star Shield now has more than [-] million users worldwide. There is really no way for our Alpha to do this."

Ellis shook his head at the answer.

Then Wu Kangsheng explained with doubts on his face: "According to their old saying, there is a specialization in the technology industry. The artificial intelligence developed by future technology may be very strong in programming data calculations, but if it is applied to the real scene of human-computer interaction I’m afraid it’s not as good as our Alpha.”

"As a developer of Alpha, you should be confident in your own work."

As Ellis' words reached his ears, Wu Kangsheng's passion seemed to be struck like a match, and there was a tendency to be rekindled.

But in the next second, he seemed to think of something again, and said it quickly.

"Boss, I am naturally very confident in Alpha, but after the Lingsi chip is put into use, our computing power with future technologies may be greatly separated."

"If this gap is not eliminated, we will only fall behind."

"Do not worry."

Regarding Wu Kangsheng's worries, Ellis remained calm, and then responded unhurriedly: "According to the latest news I have received, at present, TSMC and Sanxing have reached a cooperation, and will make every effort to overcome carbon-based chip technology, and have already Little progress has been made.”

"Carbon-based chips?"

Wu Kangsheng was startled when he heard the sound, and then fell into ecstasy. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and hurriedly said: "It's really great. As long as we can conquer the carbon-based chip manufacturing technology, we can regain our absolute position in the semiconductor market."

In the current semiconductor industry, the development of silicon-based chips has reached its limit.

Although 3nm chips can meet the needs of most scenarios, the performance of chips is limited and new breakthroughs cannot be made.

Carbon-based chips are a new way out.

Under the same specifications, the performance of carbon-based chips will greatly exceed that of silicon-based chips. If a technological breakthrough can be achieved and mass production is achieved, it will inevitably cause a new change in the industry.

At that time, they will use carbon-based chips to improve the computing power of artificial intelligence, and there will be no worries about future technology.

Speaking of which, TSMC and Sanxing belonged to competitors, each mastering the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, but the emergence of the Godson Group caused them to directly lose the high-end chip foundry production market.

To break this dilemma, choosing cooperation is the smartest way.

After all, the intercommunication and exchange between technologies will definitely greatly improve the progress of research and development, which will help itself regain control of the semiconductor market.

But when Wu Kangsheng was still immersed in this joy, he only heard Ellis ordered again: "I forgot to tell you that we have reached a cooperation with Tesla and will use artificial intelligence Alpha to create a truly driverless smart car." car, you will lead the team to Modu to contact with their person in charge."

　Thank you Su Jin for the 100 point reward!
