Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 374 [No martial ethics here!]

With all the tech giants in Silicon Valley reacting, it would be surprising if Cyera-AI didn't.

That evening, while Xiao Yu himself was at home during daylight hours in the Western Hemisphere, he participated in an online Q&A event on an overseas social media platform with his stand-in, Peter Vitas, and several executives from Cyera-AI.

[Online Question: Are you considering publishing some model weights and releasing some research?]

Peter Vitas replied, “Yes, we are discussing it. I personally think we are on the wrong side of history here and need to find a different open-source strategy, but not everyone at Cyera-AI agrees with this view, and it is not our top priority at the moment.”

In fact, Xiao Yu initially planned to have Cyera-AI follow the open-source strategy directly through his stand-in Peter Vitas, but Amei's investment institutions and the consortium behind him did not agree.

If Xiao Yu forcibly pushes forward with the open-source strategy, this stand-in is very likely to be killed by the other party, perhaps even forced to commit suicide.

Although this has no impact on Xiao Yu himself, he finally has a stand-in who can take root in the Western world, and the large-scale food and supplies promised to Red Tide by the Blue Star world also need to be operated through Peter Vitas's stand-in.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yu decided not to fully open source the technology. If he did, Cyera-AI's current valuation would collapse, and the capital groups that had heavily invested in it would definitely stop him. The stand-in would most likely be killed, which would be a loss.

On the surface, Cyera-AI is currently in a "complex and delicate" situation and faces numerous challenges.

Cyera-AI is now facing external criticism that it is gradually losing its edge in the artificial intelligence race, especially with the immense competitive pressure from the open-source version of Xiaojing 3.0.

However, Xiao Yu also plans to come up with a compromise, stating on the platform's online Q&A: "The company is considering open-sourcing those older models that are no longer at the top level in the industry, such as Cyera-AI-2, Cyera-AI-3, etc."

[Online Question: This week's biggest supernova, the Xiaojing 3.0 AI agent from the East. Clearly, this is a very impressive model. What impact will this have on your plans for future AI models?]

Peter Vitas replied, "The Mirror 3.0 version is a very excellent agent model. We are working hard to show more content than we do now, and we will produce better models, but our advantage is indeed not as significant as before."

During the ensuing Q&A session, Xiao Yu, posing as Peter Vitas, revealed more release plans to several Cyera-AI executives. He indicated that a release would take place in the coming weeks, and that Cyera-AI's advanced voice mode would be updated, though no specific timeline was yet available.

After the online Q&A event ended, it quickly sparked heated discussions within the industry and soon spread to the major Eastern country across the ocean.

When Chinese netizens saw that Cyera-AI was going to open-source its old models, especially after Peter Vitas admitted for the first time that he was on the wrong side of history, they immediately commented: "He doesn't know he's wrong, he knows he's about to be finished."

Meanwhile, OpenAI, seeing this situation, also took notice. That same afternoon, just over five hours later, OpenAI made a surprising decision, announcing that it would change the ChatGPT-O3Mini version from a monthly fee of $200 to be completely free.

Furthermore, OpenAI announced that it will open its search service to all users, who can use it online without downloading it.

This move clearly reveals OpenAI's deep sense of crisis and panic, given the current AI landscape dominated by Lingjing Technology, Cyera-AI, and OpenAI.

OpenAI is at the very bottom of the list. Now, the battle between Lingjing Technology and Cyera-AI has attracted everyone's attention. Based on the past patterns of various industries, when the first and second place fight, the third, fourth, fifth and so on are often inexplicably eliminated.

Seeing that it was losing the competition and its user base was plummeting, OpenAI then dropped another bombshell two days later, publicly stating that ChatGPT would no longer ban content from urbanites.

Prior to this, they had clearly written the prohibited items into the user agreement terms.

The news spread quickly, amusing countless netizens in China.

[Haha, OpenAI is really panicking! They just unleashed another major move. How will AI Xiaojing respond? OpenAI just released a new regulation, announcing that it will no longer restrict adult content, as long as it doesn't involve minors.]
[Oh no, they've discovered Xiaojing's weakness. She really can't compete with them head-on... (facepalm.jpg)]
[What a lack of sportsmanship! They actually resorted to dirty tricks like throwing lime and kicking someone in the groin... (manual sarcasm)]
[I'm sorry, Kagami, it's not that you're bad, nor that I'm fickle, it's just that I wanted to challenge my weakness... (Shiba Inu.jpg)]
[My idea of ​​business warfare was: I want to create a more powerful AI so users will like me more; the actual business warfare is: Hey bro, come quick, I can play with Yanse (a AI feature) now, don't miss out!]
[This is utterly despicable! Where can I find a critical review of this... (Shiba Inu.jpg)]
[Let's not call it OpenAI anymore, let's just rename it OpenAV.]
[Hahahaha!]
[This move is unbeatable, too powerful... (laughing and crying emoji)]
[Ameilika has such a limited vision; do they really think they can win the future with that?]
[As expected, it's always the foreigners who make a fool of themselves... (facepalm.jpg)]
[Why not just have Xiaojing create an overseas version, similar to Yangdou, with all restrictions lifted, specifically for Omega users?]
[No need. Xiaojing 3.0 is open source, and some experts have already created a cracked version; you can deploy it yourself.]
[Ask my friend where to download it... (husky emoji)]
[Yes, I am your friend. You have to tell me if you ask.]
[Yes, I'm the friend upstairs, that is, a friend of your friend. Please take this seriously.]
……

No one expected that in the past week or so, the global tech community would present a scene of everyone showing off their unique talents in the field of AI, providing countless netizens with a wealth of material for amusement and amusement, making it both lively and joyful.

It is worth mentioning that while the stock prices of tech giants such as Cyera-AI and Nvidia in the North American Capital Market plummeted, Lingjing Technology simultaneously stopped falling and rebounded, beginning a bullish continuation trend.

Previously, Lingjing Technology's stock price plummeted due to negative news regarding the Liuguang Xingyu simulation robot, hitting a low of 406 yuan and its market value falling back to around 35 trillion yuan.

Recently, with the release of Xiaojing 3.0, which shocked the global technology industry, Lingjing Technology's market value has once again recovered to the 40 trillion mark.

However, this did not lead to a huge surge in prices. After all, the market size is too large, and there is considerable disagreement in the market about the profitability of AI Xiaojing after it became open source and free.

Overall, it's definitely a positive development, especially in the long term, since Lingjing Technology has regained control of the AI ​​field.

After Lingjing Technology launched Xiaojing 3.0, the demand for computing power decreased sharply. As a result, version 3.0 completely removed the restriction on the number of users using it at the same time. Now all users can use it normally, and no invitation code is required. You can use it simply by registering an account.

Not only has the new version significantly reduced its computing power requirements, but China's computing power resource deployment has also kept pace in recent years, with the computing power scale now far exceeding that of when AI Xiaojing was first launched.

After the new version was released, although it was open source and could be accessed by various manufacturers, most users still preferred to use AI Xiaojing because everyone agreed that Xiaojing was the strongest AI on the market.

In the past week alone, the immense popularity has driven another explosive growth in user registrations for AI Xiaojing.
