I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 281 What They Want Is to Rule the World (Part )

All in AI startup collapsed halfway through.

On the afternoon of April 4th, 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" was taken off the shelves quietly.

The Wenjunyiyan homepage, which was originally only accessible to public beta accounts, has become the well-known 404 not found.

At 4 p.m. New Taipei time that day, Nasdaq pre-market trading opened and Qianxun's stock price plummeted, directly triggering the price range limit for pre-market trading.

After the market opened at nine o'clock in the evening, Qianxun's stock price continued to fall, with a total drop of 26% throughout the day, and its market value of 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 a game and had not even had 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 213% from its high of 47 million 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 its many investors do.

Can you please forgive her while you can and stop pursuing Chihiro?

Ha ha.

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 is a win-win no matter how you look at it.

So, after a series of exchanges of interests, on the day when the 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 3000 billion parameters, which will be more than double the 2.1 model previously released in the public beta.

Juzi2.5收费版的标准差，也将从即将开源的1.99Dec版的14.95大幅度降低至4.22。同时开展个人用户收费服务，2.5版本的收费为每月120元大周币或20迈元。（tokens什么的解释起来太麻烦，就不说了）

Article 2: 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 cause insiders who are familiar with the relationship between finance, politics and business to look askance at most.

The fourth announcement made ordinary people who knew nothing and only cared about money exclaim in shock.

Dazhou Life Insurance led the investment, and Dazhou Trust, Dazhou Finance, BlackRock, Pioneer, and Fidelity followed with a total investment of 10 billion Malaysian dollars, accounting for 8% of the shares. The original shareholders' shares were diluted in the same proportion. Youzi Technology completed its A round of financing.

Yuzu Technology’s valuation has reached 125 billion Malaysian dollars, officially becoming a super unicorn among startups!
At the same time, it became the fastest high-tech enterprise in history to reach a valuation of tens of billions of dollars!

Ordinary people just think that IT companies are crazy. Yuzi 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 the A round of financing for Youzi Technology.

They are all 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 company’s Series A financing!
Unprecedented, absolutely unprecedented.

I don’t know if there will be anyone like me in the future, but at least since the advent of the Internet, no company has offered such treatment!
But 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 that what is really worth paying attention to is the earliest announced Juzi1.99Dec version open source! By the way, 1.99 is understandable, but what does the Dec suffix mean?
It seems that Yuzu Technology didn’t say that?

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, but requires professional institutions and individuals to apply to Yuzi Technology.

After passing the review by Youzi Technology, the download permissions of relevant institutions will be opened. Only then can these institutions and individuals download the software and are required 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 criminals who try to attack the servers of Youzi Technology, but Youzi doesn’t need to take any action at all. The defense rules in the server are enough to make these criminal 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 weaklings with messy hair here, looking like tech geeks.

As well as the technology giants that we often see on online media.

Sitting opposite them were almost all members of the National Security Advisory Board except President Obama.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, Director of National Intelligence James Crabbe, FBI Director James Comey, NSA Director Michael Rogers, Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren, DHS Director Jeh Johnson...

"Well, Google has not really figured out the structure of Juzi's model. Now we can only analyze that it has a 60-layer neural network design, and each layer is subdivided into different neural network architectures. These neural network architectures are different from the known ones."

Jeffrey Hinton, who was next to Larry Page, coughed and spoke first.

"However, you don't need to worry too much about the backdoor. The code structure of Juzi1.99Dec is still very simple, and after code review, there is no backdoor problem.

"The real complexity is 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 set up backdoor-like vulnerabilities."

"However, based on the most basic principles of deep learning, the backdoor problem can be completely solved by re-pre-training the large model, but the cost is a bit high."

"Juzi1.99Dec has 1500 billion parameters. If we completely retrain this large model, it will take about 15000 state-of-the-art GPUs and nearly a month, and the total cost may be nearly million yuan."

"Based on the performance of the Orange model, I think it is worthwhile to completely re-pre-train it, while avoiding national security issues caused by backdoors."

Jeffrey Hinton finished speaking, 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, with only the circles around his eyes white, and pounded the table excitedly.

"Youzi Technology cannot be allowed to conduct business in Maiguo! This is a bottom line! The National Security Advisory Committee 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 Yuzu 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 will 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 paper-obsessed and money-drunkenness of capital and the servility of the entertainment industry.

Now I only dare to write briefly, missing out on 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!
