Chapter 1233 [Computing Resources are the Key]

At this moment, Fang Hong is not hesitant to boast, because it has indeed exceeded his expectations, and it has greatly exceeded expectations.

This kind of three-dimensional chat room in the scene can be said to further shorten the sense of distance, participation and immersion of people in the north and south, and greatly upgrade the sense of substitution under the immersive experience.

Fang Hong asked, "Is this the only scene in this kind of chat room at the moment?"

Lou Gaoyuan replied: "There are already more than a dozen scenes, indoor and outdoor, including space backgrounds, etc., and more scenes will be developed in the future."

After speaking, Lou Gaoyuan immediately changed a scene, this time it was loaded for about nine seconds, and when the new chat room scene appeared, several people present were also slightly taken aback, among which Hou Junda, who was in charge of the art star video, subconsciously exclaimed: "itβ€”β€”!"

Hou Junda, who was taken aback, suddenly complained: "I said, Lao Gao, can you say hello in advance so that I can be mentally prepared?"

The new scene switched to a panoramic outer space background, everyone became sitting on a single lazy sofa, and it was suspended in space, Fang Hong looked around this scene, and the deep starry sky under his feet, no wonder Hou Junda was startled in the abruptness.

At this moment, they seemed to be suspended in space, and at the height of the Earth's orbit, with the Earth on the side, and they were slowly rotating with the naked eye, and at this time, an artificial satellite appeared along the orbit and shuttled through the background next to them.

Fang Hong praised again and again: "Well, it's very good, it's a bit of a local virtual world."

At this time, Chen Yu said: "The development cost and operating cost are very high, and these immersive scenes are all made of real money, and they are only a single local scene, which is also the limit of what can be done at present, and the real virtual world, the existing computing resources cannot support it at all."

Lou Gaoyuan agreed: "Chen Yu is right, the cost is very high, and the operating cost has also soared."

Chen Yu also continued: "The daily operating cost of my second-generation model is now more than 2 million yuan, which is a rigid expenditure, and the daily operating cost of the third-generation model has soared directly to 10 times, which is just the generative form of playing with text language, and the daily operating cost of the fifth-generation large model will definitely soar to 200 million or even 300 million."

You know, this is a day's operating costs, not a month, not a year, if the daily operating costs of the five-generation model are calculated according to 300 million, the operating costs alone will be more than 100 billion in a year.

At this time, Qin Feng said: "One of the major pain points now is the serious shortage of computing resources."

Chen Yu nodded and said: "Yes, now the further development of artificial intelligence also includes the establishment of the virtual world industrial chain, the main threshold is the lack of computing resources, and the need for more powerful computing power chips, especially the operation of the virtual world is too terrifying for computing power demand, it is simply a black hole of computing power."

"Although our current scene is very amazing in the contemporary world, it is not strictly a virtual world in the real sense, and it is necessary to carry a 'pseudo' word in front of it, a pseudo-virtual world, in order to achieve a real immersive experience in the virtual world, it is not only a technological breakthrough in the brain-computer terminal, but also a huge demand for computing power, and it is enough to increase the computing resources by 10 million times on the basis of the current computing resources."

After a pause, Chen added, "In general, under the current computing architecture, the huge computing power requirements to achieve the ideal state are almost unobtainable."

At the end, Fang Hong spoke, "That means that such a huge demand for computing power still has to rely on the underlying technology breakthrough of quantum computers to solve, right?"

Chen Yu nodded: "It can be said that the existing computing system, whether it is energy consumption and efficiency, is almost overwhelmed in the face of huge computing power demand, if there is no breakthrough in the underlying technology, the silicon-based chip and von Neumann architecture are basically the ceiling of artificial intelligence, and the consumption of electricity is also particularly terrifying, which is equivalent to running a high-speed rail carriage with a horse."

Obviously, Chen Yu's view is very clear, the real virtual world and strong artificial intelligence or general artificial intelligence can be realized, or the underlying technology breakthrough, von Neumann architecture of the classical computer computing power is limited, and the consumption of energy and electricity is also exaggerated.

And the underlying technological breakthrough he said is quantum computers, matrix quantum is also stumbling on the track of quantum computers, the company's R&D investment last year was second only to Xingyu Technology, and it is also an exaggerated investment scale.

At the end, Fang Hong said calmly: "Now it is too far away to talk about virtual worlds, strong artificial intelligence, and quantum computers, I have confidence in you, but it is unlikely that there will be a big breakthrough in a short period of time, I know this in my heart, and you know it even more in your heart."

The crowd nodded.

Fang Hong continued: "Don't worry, take your time, quantum calculations, strong artificial intelligence, these are slowly studied. Now to be able to go to a 'pseudo-virtual world' is also a huge leap, and it is still ahead of the world and ahead of others. The key is to prove that the current path is feasible or not, and what is the biggest takeaway now?"

"It was Chen Yu who proved that this path is the way to go, for us, the rest is a problem of engineering, we are not yet leading the world in the overall computing base, but matrix quantum has not stood still over the years, although the computing chip is not leading the world, it is still useful, and the computing power performance is not enough, so the amount is large."

"I have a very strong Chinese characteristic, industrialization, engineering and vigorously flying bricks is our absolute strength, no one on the surface of the Blue Star can compare to us, computing chips are also infrastructure in the final analysis, infrastructure construction we should not let go, under the existing technical architecture, is not desperate to build production lines, explosive production capacity to make more chips, make computing boards, put together servers, build a computing center such an industrial process."

"It's good to prove that the road works, and industrialized and engineered old magnesium is definitely not our opponent. Think of it as an engineering construction problem, that is, to see who smashes down the 'reinforced concrete' who wins. The problem of responsibility is also simple and straightforward, give full play to the attributes of our infrastructure madness to build data centers and computing centers, one computing center and data center are not enough, then two, three, five, ten, hundred, what is the vigorous flying brick, this is it!"

"And in addition to computing power, chips and memory, electricity is also a big problem, the cost of electricity for such a massive server cluster, Lao Magnesium can't handle it, the cost is higher than ours, they can't afford such a fee, we definitely have an advantage in terms of power generation and electricity bills. In terms of electricity, we can do it for 5 cents for 1 dollar."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is based on the existing chips and the von Neumann architecture computing system, which can only be regarded as a transitional solution, not a final solution, and the final solution depends on when Chen Yu's quantum computer research team lights up this technology tree, as well as Qin Feng's brain-computer terminal. The virtual world doesn't need such high-end technology."

As soon as everyone heard the words of big boSS, they basically understood the meaning, that is, they had to do it, and the pseudo-virtual world had to do it, which can be regarded as the role of connecting the previous and the next.
