Shenhao started as a military training anchor

There are hundreds of domestic AI models, ten large AI models that are over 100 billion-level, and four or five that are trillion-level. It can be said that they are working hard to catch up with OpenAI and Meta.

But you will find that instead of narrowing the gap, it actually widens.

When Hawley was talking to Musk in Silicon Valley, he mentioned that domestic large-scale models were two years behind the United States, which was actually conservative.

If OpenAI releases Chatgpt5, it will be at least three to four years behind.

Even if its rival meta open source Llama3, there is nothing the country can do.

The fundamental reason lies in computing power and training.

The domestic semiconductor industry, including these upstream semiconductor companies from Huawei, can barely supply the chips produced by the market.

Meaning can be used.

But in the long-term development perspective, from the perspective of AI empowering various industries, there is no way to compete.

GPU localization is imperative.

Hawley's semiconductor project to launch Project Everest was also intended to overcome this problem.

He plans to bring Huawei into the game and join the Everest Semiconductor Project. Relying on the foundation laid by Huawei, starting from 0.5 or 1 is much faster than starting from 0.

It’s a technology race right now.

The speed must be fast, otherwise the gap will become wider every month.

Holly has new ideas when it comes to training large AI models.

If the research and development of GPUs and the training of large models develop at a rapid pace, we may be able to catch up with the United States in three to five years. After all, they are also developing rapidly there.

When I met with Yu Chengdong this time, it was a small matter to talk about vehicle chips, but it was a big deal to talk about the Everest project-semiconductor project.

Yian Automobile Headquarters.

Yu Chengdong arrived with his team, and CEO Fu Qiang warmly welcomed him and led the group to the president's office.

Holly stood up to greet him: "Mr. Yu, long time no see."

Yu Chengdong held Holly's hand and said, "Mr. Huo, congratulations on your return from Southeast Asia."

Knowing that Holly has returned to China, and taking advantage of the joy of Holly's victory, it will be easier to discuss the cooperation issue of automotive chips. After all, the opponent he faces is Nvidia.

Holly smiled and invited, "Mr. Yu, everyone, let's sit and chat."

"Mr. Huo, please." Yu Chengdong stretched out his hand.

Both parties took their seats.

Senior engineers and architects from Yi'an Automobile also arrived in the conference room.

Listen to the introduction of Huawei's new generation of automotive chips.

The performance is definitely far ahead among domestic chips, but compared with Nvidia, there is still a certain distance.

After listening to Yu Chengdong’s introduction, Holly analyzed, “From the perspective of the domestic market, cooperation with Huawei is the most ideal choice.

The number of members of the HarmonyOS ecosystem has exceeded 4,000. The combination of car-machine and human-machine will be the trend in the future. Yian is now choosing Huawei's automotive chips, and can also better integrate into the HarmonyOS ecosystem in the future.

It is very beneficial to China, a large market.

In addition, user privacy and security issues can be better protected.

This is also an issue we must consider. Nvidia is controlled by the U.S. government, and there are some security risks in this regard. "

He tilted his head and looked at Yi'an's engineers, "I have also read the reports of engineers and architects. Huawei's in-vehicle chips are in line with the ideas of the R&D team.

Mr. Yu, thank you for your hard work on these trips, and it’s a pleasure to work with you. "

Yu Chengdong said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your trust. Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

He shook hands with Holly vigorously.

As for the purchase quantity, price... and other issues, it is up to CEO Fu Qiang to deal with them.

Holly just made the final decision.

Holly asked Fu Qiang: "Mr. Fu, please host Huawei colleagues tonight."

"Mr. Huo, I'll make arrangements." Fu Qiang said.

Holly called Yu Chengdong to his office alone.

He sat down and poured tea for Yu Chengdong and said bluntly, "Mr. Yu, is the training of the Pangu model going well?"

Yu Chengdong frowned slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He instantly understood the meaning of Holly's words.

Because he has mentioned in public more than once that he wants to enter the AI ​​industry, he is probably already making secret plans.

Yu Chengdong guessed: "Some time ago, the media reported the news of the return of Chinese scientists to the country. Was it your handiwork?"

Holly nodded without denying it, and then asked, "How long does Mr. Yu think it will take to localize GPUs?"

Yu Chengdong looked troubled and shook his head.

Don't dare to jump to conclusions.

It may take a few years to find an overtaking route, or it may never happen.

But it is undeniable that the country is now working hard to do this.

Hawley said bluntly: "Huawei and even the entire Huawei-based upstream semiconductor industry have a good foundation.

If we work together, will our chances of success be greater? "

Yu Chengdong said bluntly: "That's for sure. Huawei's business territory is too big. It seems to invest hundreds of billions in research and development expenses every year, but it is far from enough to divide it into various fields.

In order to consider the overall situation, Mr. Ren cannot invest a huge amount of scientific research funds in the semiconductor field at one time. "

Communication technology is the foundation of Huawei and the only technology that leads the world.

If you want to continue to stay ahead, you must increase investment in scientific research and constantly pursue new technologies.

The funding for this alone is a huge amount of money.

To put it bluntly, Huawei still does not have enough money and talent to focus on semiconductors.

If we can cooperate with Holly and join forces, we should be able to take greater steps.

Holly nodded: “I have mentioned on more than one occasion at domestic and foreign forums that we will invest trillions in cutting-edge technology.

The project is already in preparation.

In addition to cooperation with semiconductors and inviting Huawei to work together to overcome the problem of GPU computing power, I am also preparing a 100-billion-level supercomputing center to train large AI models. "

Yu Chengdong was unsure: "When Mr. Huo mentioned the 100-billion-level supercomputing center, did he mean 100-billion-dollar investment or 100-billion-dollar model?"

Holly smiled and said: "With hundreds of billions of investments, if Huawei is interested, they can also join.

Not only that, I will also talk to ByteDance, Baidu, and Tencent.

Let’s build this supercomputing center together. "

Hearing this, Yu Chengdong looked surprised.

From his understanding, this supercomputing center with a hundred billion investment must not be a group to keep warm and fight against OpenAI and meta together.

Hawley must have found new ideas to train large AI models.

"Mr. Huo, could you please share your thoughts?" Yu Chengdong said.

"There is nothing inconvenient." Hawley analyzed, "The currently popular training method in the world is to input the cultural and technological achievements created by mankind so far into the AI ​​model in the form of text to train it.

Books, papers, journals, various academic reports, etc. are summarized and sorted out, and there is a capacity of about 1 million books.

This does not take much time for training large models.

According to the computing power of llama and Chatgpt, we will soon finish learning 100 million books, so what should we learn next?
What content should be used to continue training large models will definitely become a question that major AI companies are thinking about? "

Yu Chengdong looked at Holly: "Mr. Huo found the answer?"

Holly said: “Video content.

Whether it is long video content or short video content, it can provide rich training content for large models to learn. "

Yu Chengdong continued: "But the video storage capacity is too large, which is several times that of book knowledge..."

Halfway through the words, I suddenly realized.

Do you seem to know what the supercomputing center mentioned by Holly does?
It is to convert the video content into text content and then input it into the AI ​​model to provide AI learning and training.

Holly smiled and said, "Mr. Yu should understand what I mean!"

Yu Chengdong looked in disbelief and looked at Holly in shock. This idea was too advanced and novel.
