Chapter 281 What They Want Is to Rule the World (Part 2)
All in AI startup collapsed halfway through.
On the afternoon of April 5th, the entire Weibo, no, it should be said that the entire Internet, was swept into wave after wave of carnival by this drama of twists and turns!
As soon as the official Weibo account of Youzi Technology sounded the clarion call for attack, everyone was waiting for Qianxun's further response.
But no one expected that "Wen Jun Yi Yan" would be taken off the shelves quietly.
Wenjun Yiyan's homepage, which was originally only accessible to public beta accounts, has become the well-known 404 not found.
At 4 p.m. New York time that day, Nasdaq pre-market trading opened and Qixun's stock price plummeted, directly triggering the price range limit for pre-market trading.
After the market opened at 9 pm, Qianxun's stock price continued to fall, with a total drop of 26% throughout the day, and its market value of 19 billion Malaysian dollars was wiped out.
The last time we saw a drop of this magnitude was the last time.
Fang Yu had just finished the game and had no time to take a shower when he was called to Xinhao by several mysterious phone calls. He did not return to Haixi until three days later.
On the same day, Qianxun also issued a personnel adjustment announcement. Group veteran Min Yuege replaced Kang Yangming as vice president of strategic investment, Kang Xiaohui took over as vice president of group operations, and former vice president Liu Anlin and acting dean of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Fu Yuansheng were suspected of violating trade secrets and were transferred to judicial authorities.
Qianxun's stock price fell by 47% from its high of 213 yuan, but it rebounded due to the influx of large funds and the release of the first quarter financial report.
Thirty-three billion Malaysian dollars, just gone.
Although Qianxun may still face joint lawsuits from small and medium-sized investors, the decline in its stock price has been temporarily stopped.
Fang Yu, who has met many people in the past three days, knows that Qianxun does not have such great power, but many of its investors do.
Can you please forgive her and stop pursuing Chihiro?
hehe.
Of course there is no problem if there are benefits. Anyway, the law will explode in a month. Even if I spare Qianxun, you will not be able to spare it by then.
At this time, using this as a condition to exchange for some benefits will be a profit no matter how you look at it.
So, after a series of exchanges of interests, on the day when Juzi1.99Dec version was officially announced to be conditionally open source and available for download, Youzi Technology also announced four announcements at the same time.
First, one week after the public beta ends, the paid version of Juzi2.5 will be officially launched. The online model will have 300 billion parameters, which will be more than double the 2.1 model previously launched in the public beta.
The standard deviation of the paid version of Juzi 2.5 will be significantly reduced from 14.95 in the soon-to-be-open-sourced 1.99Dec version to 4.22. A paid service for individual users will also be launched, with the 2.5 version charging 120 DaZhou coins or 20 Mai yuan per month. (Explaining tokens is too complicated, so I won't go into details.)
Second, the enterprise API of the Orange Big Model will be officially launched. Youzi Technology can customize various AI services to enterprises based on their needs, or it can only provide paid APIs and corresponding development tools for the development of third-party applications. For specific charging standards, please consult Youzi Technology's professional customer service.
Third, Youzi Technology will work closely with five manufacturing companies, including Dami Technology, Chaoyue Automobile, Zhouche Group, and Wanneng Steel, to use AI to empower manufacturing companies and complete industrial upgrading.
The first three announcements can only attract the attention of insiders who are familiar with the relationship between finance, politics and business.
The fourth announcement made ordinary people who knew nothing and only cared about money exclaim in surprise.
Dazhou Life Insurance led the investment, and Dazhou Trust, Dazhou Finance, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity followed suit, totaling 1 billion Malaysian dollars, accounting for 8% of the shares. The original shareholders' shares were diluted in the same proportion, and Youzi Technology completed its A round of financing.
Yuzu Technology’s valuation has reached 12.5 billion Malaysian dollars, officially becoming a super unicorn among startups!
At the same time, it became the fastest high-tech company in history to reach a valuation of tens of billions of yuan!
Ordinary people just think that IT companies are crazy. Youzi Technology has just become famous, but it is worth so much money.
But the investment community sees more information.
There was no VC (venture capital firm), not even PE (private equity fund), participating in Youzi Technology's Series A financing.
All of them are investment banks and asset management companies with larger scale and more unfathomable backgrounds!
You know, these companies basically won’t participate in rounds B and C of general startups, let alone round A.
If they can intervene in a company at the pre-IPO stage, it means that the company's future stability and growth are guaranteed.
Now, these companies have collectively participated in a startup’s Series A financing round!
Unprecedented, absolutely unprecedented.
I don’t know if there will be others in the future, but at least since the advent of the Internet, no company has offered such treatment!
For practitioners in deep learning and Internet giants that have invested heavily in AI, these shocking news are nothing.
You idiots who only care about money, you don’t know at all that what is really worth paying attention to is the earliest announced open source version of Juzi1.99Dec!
By the way, I understand 1.99, but what does the Dec suffix mean?
It seems that Yuzu Technology didn’t mention it?
Juzi1.99Dec is restricted open source. Due to the sensitivity and security issues of artificial intelligence, Yuzi Technology did not upload the large model to Github. Instead, professional institutions and individuals are required to apply to Yuzi Technology.
After the review is passed by Youzi Technology, the download permissions will be opened to relevant institutions. Only then can these institutions and individuals download and need to accept the security review and ethical supervision of Youzi Technology.
Without the permission of Youzi Technology, no organization or individual may copy the source code of the large model to any third party.
Despite the harsh open source conditions, almost all artificial intelligence research institutions and high-tech companies in the world have applied to Youzi Technology.
Of course, there are also black hats and dark web black industries that try to attack the Youzi Technology servers, but Youzi doesn’t need to take any action at all. The defense rules in the server are enough to make these black industry organizations return empty-handed.
Fang Yu instructed Youzi to dig out all the real personal information of these organizations in reality and make a record in case of emergency.
——
Miami, DC.
West wing of the White House, basement level, White House War Situation Room meeting room.
In the past, the people who could appear here were either soldiers in neat uniforms or politicians in neat suits.
But today, there are many people with messy hair here, who look like weaklings who are tech geeks.
And the technology giants that you often see on online media.
Sitting opposite them were almost all the members of the National Security Advisory Council except President Obama.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, Director of National Intelligence James Crabbe, Director of the Federal Communications Commission James Comey, NSA Director Michael Rogers, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy John Holdren, and DHS Commander Jeh Johnson...
"Well, Google hasn't really figured out Juzi's model structure yet. All we can tell right now is that it has a 60-layer neural network design, and each layer is further subdivided into different neural network architectures that are different from any known ones."
Jeffrey Hinton, who was next to Larry Page, coughed and spoke first.
"However, you don't need to worry too much about backdoors. The code structure of Juzi1.99Dec is very simple, and after code review, there are no backdoor issues.
"The real complexity lies in the neural network part. Of course, it is not impossible to set backdoors in the neural network parameters."
"For example, deliberately contaminating the original training data, adjusting the parameter performance for specific inputs, etc. can all create backdoor-like vulnerabilities."
"However, based on the most basic principles of deep learning, the backdoor problem can be completely resolved by re-pre-training the large model, but the cost is quite high."
"Juzi1.99Dec has 150 billion parameters. If we completely retrain this large model, it would require about 15,000 state-of-the-art GPUs and take nearly a month, with a total cost of nearly 100 million yuan."
"Based on the performance of the Orange model, I think it's worthwhile to completely retrain it, while avoiding national security issues caused by backdoors."
After Jeffrey Hinton finished speaking, he took off his glasses and looked at Larry Page and his old friend LeCun next to him.
"Even so, security issues cannot be completely avoided!" Zuckerberg, who was next to LeCun, had a red face, only the circles around his eyes were white, and he slammed the table excitedly.
"Youzi Technology cannot be allowed to conduct business in Maiguo! This is a bottom line! The National Security Advisory Board must order a ban on Youzi Technology from entering Maiguo!"
"What they want is world domination!"
“Pfft! Hahahahahaha.”
Almost all the tech giants present laughed out loud.
They all knew what Zuckerberg was thinking.
However, prohibiting Youzi Technology from doing business in Miami is also in their interest, and no one would object to this suggestion.
I just jumped and set a new record of 2419. I'll put the screenshot in the easter egg chapter later. Oh yeah.
If this chapter had been written in previous years, it could have been written in detail for at least ten or twenty chapters, and in the middle it could have also reflected the capital's obsession with money and the servility of the entertainment industry.
Now I only dare to write a brief description, and miss the great excitement.
In reality, the open source restrictions of LLama and Juzi are similar, but Juzi is more stringent.
Please give me a monthly ticket!
