Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 373 [After Open Source, Players Around the World All Think They're Capable]

Currently, those in Silicon Valley's tech circle who are earning high salaries are in a state of deep panic and anxiety. They are worried about losing many high-paying jobs, which will appear in the Eastern country in the future.

Some Huaren (Chinese immigrants) were planning to quickly return to Dongda University for further development, but the problem now is that relevant companies in mainland China are starting to advocate for the use of local talent, so these Huaren may not be able to find jobs even if they go back.

They're now in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or go back, and are deeply distressed.

Just a week after Lingjing Technology launched the open-source version 3.0 of AI Xiaojing, it sparked a massive AI revolution around the world, turning the global tech industry upside down.

Five days after its open-source version was released, the Xiaojing 3.0 model topped the download charts in more than 150 countries and regions around the world.

Everyone was initially focused on Amelia's OpenAI and Cyera-AI, but unfortunately, they weren't open source.

After the launch of Lingjing Technology's AI Xiaojing 3.0 version, it not only achieved an epic upgrade but also became open source. Then, players from all over the world thought they were invincible—Faguo thought they were invincible, Hanguo thought they were invincible.

Even Indians, who lacked capital, technology, talent, and computing power—the "four no's"—felt they were capable and stepped onto the AI ​​stage overnight.

India, a country with virtually no experience in the field of AI, was originally unable to even get close to the basics of AI. In reality, the global competition in AI technology was only between the Eastern superpower and India, and no one else really had a chance.

However, with the emergence of the open-source version of Xiaojing 3.0, all the players seem to have suddenly become "stunned".

The Indian brother's strategy was to directly copy the source code of Xiaojing 3.0 and then customize it by combining it with local big data.

Sure enough, just five days after the release of the open-source version of Xiaojing 3.0, the Indian media outlet Deccan Herald started to hype it up, saying that India plans to launch its own AI big model within the next six to ten months, which might be even "stronger" than Xiaojing 3.0. India, which is always inexplicably confident, seems to be catching up with China and surpassing the United States.

However, those in the know understand that this "AI competition" by the Indian brother is simply copying homework. The open-source version of Xiaojing 3.0 allows the Indian brother to easily copy it like an "open-book exam".

Just copy one, add a little of your own curry-flavored "Indian creativity," and you've got a result—you can start bragging about it.

Not to be outdone, South Korea immediately announced its entry into the AI ​​field as soon as the open-source version of Xiaojing 3.0 was released. Even France, based in Europe, began discussing its AI strategy...

The global AI competition landscape has begun to subtly change, with countries around the world taking sides and claiming themselves as potential leaders in the AI ​​race, each seeking its own breakthrough.

Indians simply copied the homework without thinking, South Koreans planned to rely on chip hardware, and French people prepared to invest and innovate on their own.

In short, all the contenders are thinking: I can also become a global AI powerhouse.

Amei saw this scene and was anxious, but she was powerless to do anything about it. Xiao Yu's open-source operation was called a "open strategy" because even if you knew about it, you couldn't break it.

Lingjing Technology's move has made the world re-examine the development path of AI technology. Especially for countries like India, the open source of Xiaojing 3.0 provides them with a new idea of ​​"low cost and high efficiency". They have no choice but to use it. Even Amei can't stop it.

Let alone other countries, even many of the tech companies within America's own borders are now prepared to join if they can't win.

Lingjing Technology's open-source strategy is truly unbeatable. Now, heroes from all walks of life are learning this publicly available "ultimate skill." Everyone is practicing it. If your company, Ah Mei, doesn't practice it, it won't be long before you can't even beat your underlings. So you have no choice but to follow suit.

……

The following day, Monday, January 27.

The tech world has once again been rocked by news that has garnered immense attention and caused a sensation among countless programmers, leaving many coders in a state of shock and disbelief.

Someone has published their experience using Xiaojing 3.0 to write underlying code, improving WebAssembly efficiency by a full five times. This means that for future porting to different GPU platforms, Xiaojing 3.0 can even efficiently generate assembly code and then port it with high efficiency, thus freeing the entire AI industry from NVIDIA's CUDA monopoly. It could even utilize LPU chips, completely breaking free from the constraints of GPUs.

Around the same time, an engineer from a major domestic technology company tested the Xiaojing 3.0 model and found its running speed on the LPU to be quite astonishing, which caused a huge sensation in the industry.

This means that if there are more LPU solutions, it will really overturn Nvidia's current valuation bubble.

The engineer also posted a thought-provoking question on his WeChat Moments: Is CUDA still Nvidia's moat?
Industry insiders have reached a consensus: an AI nuclear bomb is already in the works.

Affected by this news, Nvidia's stock price plummeted to a new low that day, dropping another 17%, wiping out nearly $6000 billion in value, and its market value fell below $3 trillion to $2.8 trillion.

Just a week ago, Nvidia's market value once reached $4.3 trillion, meaning that the company alone has lost $1.5 trillion.

Cyera-AI also plummeted 21% today, wiping out more than $8000 billion and bringing its market value back to $3.2 trillion. In just a few days, it has lost more than $2 trillion.

The entire magnesium stock market has lost a combined $10 trillion in market value due to the massive sell-off of these major tech giants, and the tech bubble inflated by the northern magnesium capital market is clearly heading towards collapse.

America couldn't sit still any longer. On the same day, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made a rare public mention of the North American financial market, saying that the sell-off of AI was unsustainable.

This is essentially a verbal attempt to prop up the market, but he also pointed out that asset prices are indeed too high at present.

Even Paul Wilmer stepped in to stabilize market sentiment, which is enough to show how panicked the market is right now.

A week ago, no one would have imagined that the capital bubble built by Cyera-AI and Nvidia in the US stock market would be shaken by an unexpected path, a path that has only just begun, built by a technology company from a major Eastern country.

……

The following day, January 28th, in the morning.

"Mr. Xiao, there's new news." Xu Changming came to Xiao Yu's office to report the news: "NVIDIA announced that the Xiaojing 3.0 open source model is now officially online on the NVIDIA NIM platform and has been released as a preview version of the NIM microservice on build.nvidia.com."

“Developers can test and experiment with the API, which is expected to be launched soon as a downloadable NIM microservice as part of NVIDIA’s AI-Enterprise software platform.”

Xu Changming continued with a smile, "Yesterday, the stock prices of tech giants like Nvidia and Cyera-AI suffered another sharp drop. Even Paul Johnson had to come out and verbally defend the market to stabilize sentiment. It seems that the Silicon Valley tech circle can't hold on any longer, and the US stock market and Wall Street are probably going to be unable to hold on either."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu asked, "Is there only one Nvidia company now?"

Xu Changming immediately replied: "Not only that, but well-known North American technology giants such as Microsoft and AMD have also announced that they will integrate the AI ​​Xiaojing 3.0 open source model."

Xiao Yu nodded without saying anything, but in his heart he was thinking about how to make Cyera-AI Company react in some way by using his stand-in Peter Vitas.

The current situation is that even a group of Silicon Valley tech giants from Amelia have chosen to join, which was within Xiao Yu's expectations. With Peter Vitas as his stand-in, the information Xiao Yu obtains is far more timely and comprehensive than what Xu Changming reported.

Unless the tech giants in Silicon Valley can create an AI that is even more advanced than Xiaojing 3.0, the consequences of not joining are that they may not even be able to compete with the AI ​​models created by the Indians. They are well aware of this and know that the trend is unstoppable. Whether they like it or not, they have no choice but to join.

This also shows that the tech giants in America have truly been defeated in this wave of attacks.
