If the Cote d'Azur is now a listed company, the market value will definitely reach the order of $100 billion, which is almost the same order of magnitude as the "blue giant" IBM.

However, compared with Bluestar Technology, it is still less than 200 billion US dollars, which is normal, and the market value of generally asset-light Internet technology companies is much higher than that of asset-heavy hardware technology companies.

You must know that the net profit margin of Bluestar Technology has reached more than 30%, which is a very terrifying profit margin, and the money printing machine cannot catch up with the harvesting speed of this profit, which has also created Bluestar Technology is currently the world's largest technology company in terms of market capitalization and the world's second largest listed company.

After Yao Jianhong left, less than an hour after the release of the Cote d'Azur's annual report, the sales of 315 billion yuan made the Cote d'Azur the No. 1 technology company in the field of consumer electronics in the mainland.

The second largest Ploughshare had a global sales revenue of 193 billion yuan (about US$28.3 billion) last year, and the Cote d'Azur's revenue exceeded Ploughshare by 38.7%, knowing that the former has been established for 23 years, and the Cote d'Azur is still less than 6 years old.

It is no wonder that when the joint venture was established Xiongxin Electronics, Huawei decisively refused to look at the wafer foundry and handed it over to Lens Semiconductor to do, in the past, you had no money on the Cote d'Azur, but now you are richer than me and still want to buy my wool.

The Criviera's annual report showed that its revenue of $46.2 billion surpassed the performance of Germany's fourth-largest bank, Baden-Württemberg Bank last year ($46.13 billion), and became the 162nd place in the 2009 Fortune 500 companies.

The outside media also reported for the first time that it is very remarkable for an entrepreneur to have a Fortune 500 company. And Luo Sheng alone owns two at the same time, maybe there will be more than two in the future, just thinking about it makes people feel numb.

……

In the afternoon, Luo Sheng came to the Côte d'Azur Laboratory, which is known as "Huaguo Bell Laboratory" by the outside world, and has now moved into the new headquarters "Galaxy City", which is more tall, more complete, and more comfortable and convenient for R&D personnel.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is convening Li Chunsheng and other R&D personnel of the "smart tablet" project for a technical meeting.

"Boss, you said we exchanged emails half an hour ago...... Not you? Is 'Little Blue' using your email? In the conference room, Li Chunsheng looked at Luo Sheng in shock.

Luo Sheng nodded with a smile. The so-called "little blue" is just a projection of Cortana, and the agents of the two are essentially one.

"Boss, are you doing the Turing test with Brother Li? Oh my God, doesn't that mean that 'Little Blue' has passed the 'Turing Test'? ”

The other researchers present at the meeting were also extremely shocked, is Xiaolan's agent already so powerful?

Luo Sheng looked around at everyone and smiled: "Don't make such a fuss, it's not a big deal to pass the Turing test, it doesn't mean that Xiaolan's intelligence can be the same as that of humans." ”

Li Chunsheng and others were excited to get Luo Sheng's exact reply, they never expected that the boss would quietly advance AI technology to such an incredible extent, they once thought that the biggest technical pain point of the "smart tablet" project was the development of AI technology, and they did not expect to take the lead in breaking through the biggest technical difficulties.

Luo Sheng continued: "The scope of artificial intelligence is very broad, which is an important scenario for open field research, and now Xiaolan's dialogue agent is no longer professional, and can complete dialogue tasks under a wider range of topics, not limited to a specific field, but able to chat with users about almost all topics. This technological breakthrough not only has academic value, but also has broad commercial value and stimulates more application scenarios. ”

One of the AI technology researchers at the meeting nodded repeatedly: "I totally agree, for example, for example, for deeper human-computer interaction, improving the effectiveness of foreign language training, unmanned driving, medical diagnosis, or for making interactive movies and game characters...... The application scenarios are too wide and have infinite imagination, which will inevitably bring profound technological changes to the world. ”

When the technical team was extremely excited, Luo Sheng was always calm and said: "Through Azure-3's Xiaolan assistant, the current version of Xiaolan, which has not been upgraded and updated, has a serious flaw in the open field chat, that is, the dialogue content it generates is often meaningless, and most of the cases have no common sense and basic knowledge of the real world, limited to the field of perception, in addition, they often can't give just the right specific reply to the current context." ”

Li Chunsheng nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, for example, 'I don't know' is indeed an answer that can answer any question, but it is not detailed enough. Big data shows that the current version of Xiaolan produces such replies much more often than humans, because this replies can cover a lot of possible user input. ”

Luo Sheng asked people to turn on the big screen in the conference room, then connected to his work computer, and after a quick operation, he motioned everyone in the meeting to look at the big screen.

"It's an end-to-end neural conversation model that learns how to respond to a given conversational context, and the goal of training Xiaolan is to minimize confusion. and the uncertainty of predicting the next marker. At its core is the Evolved Transformer seq2seq architecture, which is a Transformer architecture that can be found through evolutionary neural architecture search, which can improve the confusion. ”

Luo Sheng called up a new set of information panels, adding: "Xiaolan is composed of an ET encoder and 13 ET decoders, the encoder is used to process the context of the conversation, to help Xiaolan understand what has already been said in the conversation, and the decoder uses this information to generate actual responses. ”

One of the AI researchers at the meeting stared at the panel information on the large screen and said to himself, "After tuning the hyperparameters, a stronger decoder is the key to achieving high-quality conversations." ”

Luo Sheng looked at the researcher and called him neatly: "Very good, you can handle this piece." ”

"Okay boss, but I need permission."

Luo Sheng nodded and tapped a few times on his computer: "Authorized." In addition, this is an end-to-end neural dialogue model with 5.2 billion parameters, and it is worth noting that confusion, which is a computational metric that is easy to implement in various neural dialogue models, here's a piece of data. ”

Everyone looked at the big screen in the conference room again.

Luo Sheng said: "Confusion indicator. Due to the problems of human evaluation, it is important to have an evaluation index that can be automatically calculated, and this indicator needs to be able to accurately correspond to human evaluation. There are 8 different versions of the model, each with hyperparameter and architectural differences, such as the number of layers, the number of attention heads, and the number of training steps. From this data, the lower the confusion model, the higher the score, and the correlation coefficient between the two is very strong. ”

The seminar did not last too long, and the people sitting here were a group of highly intelligent developers, and Luo Sheng was not a person who dragged his feet, and quickly finalized the major links, and the technical team entered the next development process.

According to the established plan, Luo Sheng and his team will continue to reduce the confusion of the neural dialogue model by improving the algorithm, architecture, data and computation.

Luo Sheng stayed in the Côte d'Azur laboratory for more than two hours before returning to his office and calling Yao Jianhong.

……

"Mr. Luo, what are your orders?"

Yao Jianhong entered Luo Sheng's office, who put down the work at hand, pondered for a moment and said: "The smart tablet is about to be launched, and the technical problems have basically been solved, and now the content package needs to keep up." You have to do a few things, the first thing is to donate $10 million to Wikipedia, here is a huge amount of data we need to obtain, and the other is to prepare $1 billion to cooperate with the world's top academic journals and universities, get their knowledge base authorization, and get it done in two months at the latest. ”

In addition to these, more data authorization is also needed, Luo Sheng will certainly not let go of the huge database resources of Bluestar Technology, but it cannot be given in vain, although the two companies are created by themselves, but the Cote d'Azur still buys data from Bluestar Technology.

It takes about $3 billion here, and then you get access to online translation, get through this link, and complete the integration.

Yao Jianhong nodded: "No problem, leave it to me." ”

The "Smart Tablet" project of educational aid is a new product launched by Blue Henna in the first half of the year.

Luo Sheng added: "In addition, we are preparing an additional expenditure budget of about 1.5 billion US dollars, which is used to recruit excellent teachers in various subject areas of secondary schools and universities to produce online course content, including but not limited to video, pictures, text, and audio content. ”

Yao Jianhong thought for a moment when he heard this, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Luo, have you considered the issue of piracy?" Spending tens of billions of yuan to create high-quality educational content, needless to say, it will definitely flow into all parts of the Internet in a short period of time, and it will not be blocked. ”

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Of course I have thought about this problem, but for users who want to obtain pirated resources, it means time cost, the information in the Internet world is vast, and it takes a lot of time to find resources that are really useful to you, which is an extremely cost-effective account for people who really want to learn and sublimate themselves." ”

"Remember, this is not an entertainment resource, entertainment resources are consumption and passing time, this is a learning resource, and the cost of time is a very important measure."

"The outflow of pirated content is a 100% sure fact, but it's nothing, what we want to crack down on is above the scale, systematic sites, this kind of one dozen and one accurate, as for the small scale can be ignored, not complete, it is difficult for the user to find the content he wants, and the time and energy spent to find it is also huge, this is the advantage of AI technology, take the genuine channel, be able to get the information you want for the first time, we win in unparalleled efficiency and accuracy, and this is the ultimate induction and technical victory."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile and added: "Another point, Bluestar Technology is mine, when Yunge Search beats Baidu to become the leader of Chinese search engines, piracy can kill more than half." ”

Nowadays, in the Chinese search engine market, a double situation of Yunge and whiteness has been formed, and in the long run, whiteness is declining, and the layout of the mobile Internet is weak, which can basically be said to have missed the era of mobile Internet.

On the contrary, Yunge Search takes a steady and steady offensive, monopolizing the newly entered Internet residents step by step, which is a slow strangulation process, and it is also a conspirator, the cards are all turned over and played, and the whiteness has almost no power to parry.

As for foreign countries, there is no need to worry about pirated resources, which must be recognized that overseas has done a good job in protecting intellectual property rights, and whoever dares to blatantly misappropriate, the legal team of the Cote d'Azur can sue him to bankruptcy.
