Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 371 [A Nuclear-Level Ultimate Move]

Just yesterday, Amelia announced its $5000 billion "Stargate" project, and today Lingjing Technology has dropped this bombshell, making it hard not to suspect that it's a direct counterattack.

This was practically a face-to-face ultimate move, and most importantly, it was a move that stunned the entire audience.

In the following days, various organizations, including some tech experts, rushed to experience and deploy version 3.0 to see if it was really as amazing as Lingjing Technology claimed.

After the experiment, everyone was greatly shocked. Lingjing Technology was not only not exaggerating, but was even more amazing than advertised.

In particular, the low-cost deployment of training models is two orders of magnitude cheaper, or a hundred times cheaper, or more than 180 times cheaper to be precise.

"I thought Lingjing Technology was in a complete slump in this round of AI competition, but I didn't expect them to have such an epic move after two years of preparation..." An industry insider tested it and was amazed by the result, saying, "This move is going to directly hit the US AI technology circle. A bloodbath is just around the corner. The AI ​​Xiaojing 3.0 version might just burst the US technology bubble."

In the past few years, Nvidia has taken advantage of the AI ​​trend to launch a "computing power revolution" around the world, and the company's stock price has soared time and time again, with its market value exceeding 4 trillion US dollars.

Even more remarkable is the meteoric rise of Cyera-AI, whose market capitalization has soared to over $5 trillion.

On its first day of launch, Dongwang immediately announced with great ambition that it would use $5000 billion to build a "Stargate". It sounds very impressive, but in fact it is just to further develop AI technology. It is to invest heavily in computing power infrastructure projects, after all, it has already invested too much in this field in previous years.

To everyone's surprise, Lingjing Technology dropped a bombshell the very next day after the announcement was made just yesterday.

Before Lingjing Technology released AI Xiaojing 3.0, a number of large AI models, including Cyera-AI, OpenAI, and AI Xiaojing, essentially relied on stacking computing power and competing on the strength of their capital.

Whoever has more abundant funds and more powerful computing cards will have a greater advantage in AI performance; to some extent, the two are positively correlated.

However, Lingjing Technology suddenly released the open-source 3.0 version to tell everyone that AI is not about computing power. There is no need to blindly pursue computing power and get trapped in a vicious cycle of burning money. The cost of the open-source 3.0 version model has dropped by more than a hundred times.

Moreover, it can bypass CUDA and use any GPU on the market, which is absolutely a nuclear bomb-level move.

Previously, whenever AI was mentioned, Nvidia was always an unavoidable threshold, because it was generally accepted that the foundation of the AI ​​field was computing power, and only by purchasing sufficiently high-end computing power chips from Nvidia could one obtain a ticket to the AI ​​field.

As a result, in just two years, Nvidia's market value soared to over $4 trillion.

But now, this situation has been reversed overnight, without even a word of warning; times change in an instant.

Lingjing Technology has launched AI Mirror 3.0, which achieves similar results to yours at a cost more than 100 times cheaper than training. What are computing chips? You don't need that many at all.

More importantly, Lingjing Technology has also made its codebase public and open source it to the world.

Prior to this, Cyera-AI was closed-source, and although OpenAI is called "open," it is actually closed-source. Even AI Xiaojing under Lingjing Technology is closed-source. If others want to surpass their competitors in the field of AI, they not only have to exceed the critical threshold of computing power, but also have to start from scratch. A truly towering building starts from the ground up.

This means that small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, and independent studios cannot even meet the entry requirements.

Clearly, the US tech community in Silicon Valley aimed to exploit the closed-source nature of AI to reap global profits and fuel their inflated tech bubble. However, Lingjing Technology's bombshell-level open-source move has completely shattered this dream of profiting from closed-source AI.

Lingjing Technology's choice to open source represents a different path, meaning that dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of AI companies will soon emerge. Small companies that were previously limited by existing resources and unable to enter the AI ​​field can now stand on the shoulders of Lingjing Technology, this "giant," to gain entry.

Many media outlets and industry insiders are now saying that Lingjing Technology's open-source strategy has driven the arrival of a global era of "AI equality".

The ultimate outcome is almost predictable: if AI truly becomes the core productive force of the future, then Amelia's plan to use AI to dominate the world and reap huge profits has completely failed.

This is like Ah Meilika obtaining a martial arts manual, thinking that once he masters the ultimate skill, he can command the martial arts world and none will dare to disobey him.

As a result, Lingjing Technology not only mastered a skill even more powerful than Amei's, but also made the manual public, allowing everyone to practice it together, see if there were any areas that needed improvement, and work together to reach new heights.

This move completely stunned Ah Mei.

That evening, the US stock market experienced an epic crash, with various AI stocks suffering heavy losses. Nvidia plummeted by 19%, wiping out $8000 billion in revenue, while Cyera-AI fared even worse, plunging 26.77% and losing $1.44 trillion in value.

According to statistics, the entire US stock market lost $4.4 trillion in a single day, equivalent to the total market capitalization of Nvidia.

In a domestic investment firm, several investment research analysts were chatting. They were looking at the soaring US stock market. One of the analysts couldn't help but sigh, "In my opinion, no matter what methods Lao Mei takes against Lingjing Technology next, Xiao Yu should understand. After all, you're practically digging up their ancestral graves."

He added, "Lingjing Technology's move has achieved three things: first, it has swiftly and decisively slapped Trump in the face, destroying the Stargate that Trump planned to build with $500 billion, making him a laughing stock; second, it has given away the trillions of dollars worth of high-tech revenue that Trump was most optimistic about in the future, thus taking away his livelihood; and third, it has burst the US stock market's tech bubble, aiming to destroy his financial market. It can truly be described as killing three birds with one stone."

His colleague sitting next to him couldn't help but sigh, "The key is that it kills three birds with one stone at such a low cost. This feels to me like you just threw a stone at the other party, and the stone exploded into a nuclear bomb, wiping out the entire enemy team."

"However, on the other hand, once Lingjing Technology is open sourced, all sorts of so-called 'geniuses' will surely emerge in China to achieve major innovative breakthroughs. There will definitely be many who use various pretexts, and there will inevitably be a lot of chaos."

This investment institution is also preparing to access Lingjing Technology's open-source model. On the day Lingjing Technology launched the Xiaojing 3.0 model version, it open-sourced three code repositories. Moreover, according to the company's announcement, it will continue to open-source more code repositories and unlock more new content.

The "broken window effect" that Lingjing Technology's open-source strategy quickly created in the following days became clear to everyone; it was an open conspiracy.

And that's what makes the opponent feel most hopeless. A well-known strategy is one where you know everything about it, but you're helpless and can't break the deadlock.

The power of Lingjing Technology's move is not only that it caused trillions of dollars in losses to Wall Street and US tech giants, nor that it disrupted the technology strategies of OpenAI and Cyera-AI, but more importantly, it directly threatened the overall business model and valuation logic of the AI ​​field that is based on the exclusive control of massive computing resources.

In the "Brave New World" envisioned by giants like OpenAI, Cyera-AI, Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia, who originally hoped to completely monopolize the world's artificial intelligence technology, AI was a "red ocean" worth trillions of dollars. However, their dreams may now be shattered due to Lingjing Technology's 3.0 open-source operation.
