Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 293 Relationship Broken
Without much thought, Chen Yiran agreed immediately after hearing what Huang Piyi said: "No problem. Although we have enough technical reserves to use the Mocha chip for training, our previous cooperation has always been very good, so I can promise you that we will not get involved in the training field."
Yellow Leather Jacket didn't quite believe this. Chen Yiran had shown amazing aggression in the past year. If he made a lot of demands, it was possible that he really didn't want to get involved in the training field.
But he agreed too quickly; he clearly wasn't really thinking it through.
After thinking for a moment, the man in the yellow jacket tentatively asked, "Could we put it on paper? Sign a specific contract?"
Chen Yiran smiled: "Okay, we can sign a contract that Aurora Group will not get involved in the training field for five years."
"It also cannot sell Mocha's chip technology like other companies, and Apple cannot act as an intermediary."
"Let the lawyers think about this. By the way, you should include Samsung as well. Samsung and Aurora need to be more closely connected. Our negotiations on cross-shareholding are complete."
Yellow Leather Jacket felt a tightness in his chest. Although Samsung had been colluding with Chen Yiran before, and even went to great lengths to celebrate Young Master Chen Ping'an's birthday a while ago, it still maintained some independence.
Now that Nvidia has completely sided with Aurora, it means that Nvidia's chip manufacturing problem is becoming increasingly difficult. Chen Yiran has monopolized the EDA industry, and now he is not only playing the game but also acting as the referee, leaving Nvidia with virtually no way to hide its technological path.
Chen Yiran looked at the man in the yellow leather jacket with a bad expression and added insult to injury: "When signing a contract, of course the conditions must be equal. I promised not to enter the training field, which is already leaving such a huge market to you, so you should give me something in return."
First, I demand that Nvidia abandon the development of any tensor computing units, and that Nvidia not release any graphics cards with tensor computing units within the next five years.
Then, shut down that secret project you're currently running with Google, and don't allow the release of AI chips specifically optimized for Google's Transformer framework. While I don't care much about Google, their constant presence is annoying.
The man in the yellow jacket looked even uglier. They had done an excellent job of keeping their contact with Google secret, and he hadn't expected that Chen Yiran already knew.
Chen Yiran's request was also difficult for him to agree to, as Aurora's tensor computing unit had only recently been launched and was only provided to Oracle's all-in-one machines.
All companies in the supply chain have recently placed orders with Oracle and conducted thorough testing and research. All the relevant companies have reached a clear conclusion: tensor operation units will be the mainstream solution for AI inference chips, perfectly solving the inefficiency of using floating-point units on graphics cards to perform matrix multiplication.
Signing the contract and giving up now would be too passive. He shook his head and said, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
"I gave up the training market for Nvidia, so you can give up the inference market, right?"
The man in the yellow jacket disagreed: "But if we give up for five years and then want to return to this field, there will be a technological gap in terms of time. We can't keep spending money to keep up with the technology without producing products, and we also can't get enough data without producing products."
"And your training technology can still run data within your own company, and your technology itself is mature and doesn't need further development. You can simply exit the market in five years. Wouldn't Nvidia be completely doomed then?"
Chen Yiran didn't tolerate the yellow-clad man: "You said it yourself, our technology is already mature, and to have to accommodate Nvidia's withdrawal from the training market is an even greater sacrifice! If I didn't talk to you at all and just pushed it to the market, you would be finished by now."
"You don't have enough production capacity! Even if Samsung and Aurora produce at a crazy pace, the production capacity will still not be enough to cover the market, not to mention that your own companies need a huge number of chips!"
To further promote DeepFlow's influence, you have no choice; you must have graphics card manufacturers fill the training market!
After finishing the rest of his coffee, Chen Yiran stood up and said, "But Nvidia isn't the only company that makes graphics cards! Considering our past friendship, I'm already being more than generous by giving you some guarantees. Look at other manufacturers, which one dares to ask me for such a promise?"
They could only keep giving me hints, and even proactively increase the licensing fee for EDA, spending money to buy my favor.
That's settled then. Since Nvidia won't agree, let's have a real fight.
By the way, do you think I'm unaware of your underhanded dealings with Google? You actually want to get involved in the EDA business? Give me a try. I unified this industry in a year; let's see if you can stand firm here within ten years.
After Chen Yiran left, the man in the yellow jacket sat for a while. He wanted to order another cup of coffee, but he saw the shop owner and the waiters looking at him with a strange smile.
Thinking back to what Chen Yiran had just said, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and quickly left, having his bodyguard take him back to Nvidia headquarters.
In his office, the man in the yellow jacket looked at a plan in his hand. It was prepared by Google, and to put it bluntly, it was about uniting all forces that could be united to prepare for an anti-Aurora Alliance.
He himself did not want to participate, because in Aurora's market, there is an ecosystem niche for Nvidia. The AI chip market is too big for any one company to completely dominate.
But he was still unwilling to accept it. The better AI developed, the more unwilling he became. This proved that his previous strategy of building the CUDA ecosystem based on graphics cards was entirely correct. If it weren't for Chen Yiran, he might very well have led Nvidia to the top of the world.
After hesitating for a moment, he still dialed Google's Schmidt: "I have tentatively agreed to the cooperation plan, but I met Chen Yiran today, and he already knows that we are preparing to enter EDA. The people you poached before are unreliable."
Schmidt paused for a few seconds before speaking: "The previous people were recruited with the help of TSMC. Perhaps Chen Yiran has too much influence among the Chinese, and someone informed Aurora."
When we hire people from Europe in the future, we should try to hire from Europe. We can't use the people from TSMC anymore; let them contact our previous clients and do their jobs properly.
"Okay, when will we announce it?"
"Let's prepare a little more and release this news before Apple's developer conference in June, as a way to give them a blow."
