After all, he's a Tsinghua University student. Anyone who could get Lin Xiao to call him over must be quite capable.

Chen Yiran hung up the phone and then told a taxi to drive to Tsinghua University.

When he arrived at the east gate of Tsinghua University, Lin Xiao was already waiting for him at the entrance.

While leading the way, he said, "These are three students from the Yao Class, and their technical skills are quite outstanding. They work in deep learning; they're not here to apply for jobs, but they came specifically because they knew we had a booth here. They don't have any particular plans, they just wanted to say hello and maybe meet you."

Chen Yiran genuinely didn't know what the Yao Class was, so she simply asked, "What's the Yao Class? You're only interested in seeing me instead of applying for a job? Am I that important now?"

Lin Xiao quickly explained, "The Yao Class is the Computer Science Experimental Class at Tsinghua University. It was founded by Academician Yao Qizhi, who is a Turing Award winner. And you have a lot of prestige; Academician Yao highly recommends your DeepFlow. Incidentally, he has explained it in detail several times during class."

These three from Yao Class were also influenced; they practically idolize you. They even wanted to come with me to greet you, but I stopped them. I grabbed three of them to help out at our booth. I just got a call saying it's over, so I had them find a lab to wait for us.”

Being praised by such a big shot, Chen Yiran felt quite pleased.

The two walked to the Information Science and Technology Building. In a laboratory in the corner of the second floor, Chen Yiran saw three people gathered around a table, having an enthusiastic discussion.

The three people heard the door open, looked over, and immediately jumped over to introduce themselves.

A seemingly honest-looking man approached excitedly and said rapidly, "Hello, sir! I am Yin Qi, a student in the Automation program of the Yao Qizhi Experimental Class at Tsinghua University. In a couple of days, I will be going to Columbia University to pursue my PhD."

The other two quickly introduced themselves as well.

"Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Tang Wenbin, and I'm a computer science major from the Experimental Class of Computer Science at Tsinghua University. I think your DeepFlow is perfect! It's the foundation for future deep learning! It has unlimited potential for extension."

The last boy, who seemed a bit shy, said softly, "Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Yang Mu. I have an idea to use Deepflow for facial recognition. I think Deepflow is very powerful and can achieve many things that were difficult to achieve before."

Chen Yiran is no stranger to the technology of using Deepflow to implement facial recognition; in fact, his family has been using this technology for a long time.

In reality, if we're talking about cutting-edge technology, FlowEDA's project is far inferior to the security program Chen Yiran set up at home.

Over the course of six months, Chen Yiran and Jasmine tirelessly rested, patched up, and continuously optimized their home's security system, enhancing it to an unbelievable degree. Furthermore, driven by the need for information, they didn't hesitate to hack into multiple U.S. government departments to obtain data.

Although he was certain that the skills of the three people in front of him were far inferior to his, Chen Yiran still asked, "Tell me about it. Since you all say that Deepflow is powerful, tell me about your thoughts on its practical application."

The three people led Chen Yiran to the computer, where a training script was running, which was associated with an image classification model of a convolutional neural network.

[They're using the CIFAR-10 dataset, but their GPU isn't up to par; it's too slow, taking almost an hour per epoch. These people have studied CUDA's underlying scheduling in detail, but their understanding of DeepFlow is only so-so.]

Chen Yiran, putting his newfound knowledge to good use, glanced at the equipment casually and said, "Your equipment is a bit too slow. You're using the CIFAR-10 dataset, right? Running one epoch will take at least an hour!"

The three of them became very happy, feeling that Chen Yiran understood them.

Tang Wenbin nodded and said, "We wrote our own set of underlying code for automatic differentiation and forward propagation, instead of using an existing framework. The optimizer uses a modified mini-batch SGD with some adaptive learning rate logic added. The problem now isn't at the algorithm level, it's just that the hardware computing power is holding us back."

The four of them discussed the technical issues in detail, and three of them showed Chen Yiran their results on the computer.

【They're not that great either! They can't compare to the identification capabilities of our "3000-Point All-Round Defense System"!】

"The 'Three Thousand All-Round Defense System' that will take your life" is the name Jasmine came up with.

This is the result of Chen Yiran's continuous efforts to strengthen the defenses of his house over the past six months.

The security system is spiraling upwards, with layers constantly being added. Now, the monitoring system has begun to record and identify gait characteristics.

Infrared thermal imaging modules have been added to every corner, enabling the detection of abnormal body temperatures even through bushes.

These are all superficial things; what Jasmine is really messing around with is the information access layer.

Chen Yiran set up a continuously running web crawler cluster on his personal server, which crawled the Santa Clara County Sheriff's dispatch database, the California Highway Patrol's radio relay channels, and the FBI's National Crime Information Center's internal query interface in real time.

Every dispatch call on the police radio channel is transcribed into text and indexed into the retrieval system, and the GPS location data of patrol cars is updated every fifteen seconds.

After downloading the entire public case document library of Santa Clara County Court, entity extraction was performed using natural language processing. Resident information, real estate transaction records, and even meter readings from water and electricity companies in dozens of surrounding communities were cross-referenced.

Chen Yiran had conducted various investigations into all the neighbors within a one-kilometer radius, even obtaining several years' worth of customs entry and exit data. Access to various databases posed no obstacle to Jasmine. Several people Jasmine deemed unstable had already been reported and arrested.

However, these functions have been modified to such an absurd degree that commercial use is impossible. Going through the trouble of disassembling and utilizing all those cutting-edge technologies is less efficient than developing a completely new system from scratch.

Rewriting it from scratch would be a waste of time; the three people we have now are perfectly suited to be our workhorses. We could write a basic framework, have the three of them handle the expansion and optimization, and then Chen Yiran could use it once it's nearly finished. EDA still requires AI visual recognition.

"You three, you didn't call me here just to show off your skills, did you? Are you three planning to develop a product?"

Yin Qi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I called you over because I wanted some advice. I'm about to go back to school, but I actually want to start my own business. The three of us think we can do it. But the other two families don't have much money; only my family is financially well-off. However, my parents have a condition: I must go abroad to study, and they will only give me a sum of money after I return."

Tang Wenbin chimed in, "The three of us worked really hard taking on small jobs when we were in school, and now we've saved up 300,000 yuan. But actually, it still doesn't feel like enough. We've already registered a company, but it's just a shell company right now."

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Well then, I know the three of you are interested in starting your own businesses. You're probably looking for me because you hope I can help you secure investment or a core license for DeepFlow, right?"

But to be honest, what you showed me wasn't impressive enough. If I were to do it myself, give me two hours and I could write something that would blow you all out of the water. But I can't cover everything by myself, so leaving this direction to you is perfectly acceptable.

I can invest in you, or even start a new company. Each of you three will own 5% of the shares. I can provide you with the company's technical foundation, and you'll be responsible for its development. Of course, I'll also license the DeepFlow license.

The three young men, who were a little older than Chen Yiran, immediately looked displeased. Yin Qi, blushing, said, "This equity distribution is easy to discuss, since we don't have the funds. If you really contribute the main technology, it's perfectly reasonable."

But our achievements can't be so worthless. We know you're technically strong! But what we have here is the result of two whole years of our studies! You think you can surpass us in the same direction in just two hours? That's an exaggeration.

I admit you're definitely better than us at this if you're going to do it, but you say you can easily surpass us in two hours? You should at least think before you brag.

Chen Yiran stretched out his hand to Lin Xiao beside him and said with a smile, "Then let me show you what real skills are."

Lin Xiao immediately handed Chen Yiran a laptop he had brought that day, then bowed and scraped as he asked, "Boss, is there anything else you need?"

"Go buy me three bottles of iced Coca-Cola, not Pepsi."

"Okay, I'll go now." Lin Xiao went out with peace of mind. He had witnessed Chen Yiran's ruthless technical skills firsthand. Back then, across the Pacific Ocean, they often struggled to solve problems, but after sending an email, Chen Yiran would resolve them within ten minutes.

Chen Yiran turned on the computer, first checking the required software, then silently chanted in her mind, "Close the door and release the jasmine!"

Watch me! I'll make them question the meaning of life from this day forward, and make them lose all self-confidence from this day forward!
