Chapter 245: The First Xu Yun Mathematics Award
"Deepin Tech Artificial Intelligence Lab will open up their AI model access for free at the end of the month, and I am afraid that our authority in the field of chatbots will be affected, so I decided to speed up the iteration of GPT and launch version 3.5 as soon as possible."
January 12, 2020, San Francisco, OpenAI AI Research Headquarters.
In the conference room, Artem, as the CEO, looked solemnly at the company's executives on both sides of the conference table and announced his decision after careful consideration.
He founded the artificial intelligence research company in his thirties with Musk and others.
And successfully launched an intelligent chatbot.
Known by the media as the father of GPT.
The goal is to achieve a secure artificial general intelligence.
Now that GPT has launched version 3.0, it has caused widespread discussion in the outside world and is one step closer to the goal, and it can be said that they are already at the forefront of the field of artificial intelligence.
According to the company's original plan, new versions of GPT will be launched in the next two years.
Completely sit on the leading position in the industry.
In this case, it can be said that even if companies such as Google and Apple launch their own AI models, they will not worry too much because they are confident enough in their products.
I don't think I'll be surpassed by others.
But Deepin Technology is different, this is a special existence.
In a way, with his age, he has developed to the point where he is today, and he can be regarded as an out-and-out genius.
As we all know, geniuses are always attracted to each other, although there was little intersection between deep technology and them before this, but the name Xu Yun couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Solving the world's mathematical problems and promoting the battery revolution, he thinks he can't compare with Xu Yun.
In fact, when Deepin Technology set up an artificial intelligence laboratory, he had a sense of urgency.
Although I thought that the other party might make a big move in artificial intelligence, it was really unexpected so soon.
No one wants to see the results of their hard work, and they will be easily surpassed by others and no one cares about them in the end.
However, they have no way to prevent the online and open permission of the artificial intelligence model of DeepTech, and if they want to maintain their position, they can only optimize and iterate on GPT to a new version.
Even if the model effect of Deepin Technology is not as good as theirs, then it will make more people pay attention to GPT.
Therefore, the update of the version is imminent.
Artem didn't continue to speak after he had made his decision, leaving time for the others to digest.
Deepin Technology's decision to develop the right to use artificial intelligence models for free at the end of the month has been reported by major media around the world, and everyone in the conference room naturally knows about it.
But perhaps because things are a little complicated, half a minute has passed, and no one has spoken.
There was a brief silence in the room.
Seeing everyone's performance, Artem frowned, and had to move his gaze to the slightly chubby man on his right.
"What do you think, Holman ?"
Holman raised his head, thought for a moment, and then opened the conversation.
"Boss."
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to launch a new version anytime soon, and I don't think the other party's model is a threat to us."
As the voice fell, people who held the same view also hurriedly agreed.
"Deepin Technology's artificial intelligence laboratory has been established for less than a year, and I don't think we need to speed up the progress of the intelligent model developed in such a short period of time."
"GPT has been updated to version 3.0, and the other party is probably still in the initial version when it is just starting."
"I agree with Mr. Holman about it."
Artem saw that his decision was being questioned by everyone, but there was no change in expression on his face.
Calm all the time.
It seems that this situation has long been guessed.
After a few seconds of pause, he shook his head and said: "Deepin Technology originally started with intelligent image restoration algorithms, and it can't be said that they started to develop artificial intelligence models after setting up corresponding laboratories, and what we should be most wary of is not Deepin Technology but Xu Yun." After saying Xu Yun's name, there was a tactical pause.
Really.
Several executives, including Holman heard the name, and their expressions immediately changed slightly.
His expression also became solemn.
Everyone knows that Xu Yun has created many miracles in his twenties.
Hailed as the most gifted genius of all time.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything related to Xu Yun often cannot be inferred by common sense.
Otherwise, you will definitely be slapped in the face.
This is the experience of several previous facts.
Artem was finally satisfied with everyone's expressions, and continued to repeat his decision.
"Regardless of the extent of the other party's AI model, we must do our best to ensure our position in the industry."
"The monopoly of all-solid-state battery technology has made us lose a very big dominance in the world, and this time we must defeat the opponent's artificial intelligence model to grasp the key to future development."
At this point in the meeting, the others naturally did not refute anything, and they all supported the CEO's decision.
"Got the boss, we will speed up the update of the GPT version next."
Clarify the company's plan for the future, and this emergency meeting can be regarded as an early end.
Eventually, the meeting was adjourned with a nod from Artem.
And compared to the tension that suddenly arose on the side of OpenAI's artificial intelligence research company.
Other AI companies around the world are not much different, and many have decided to accelerate their own AI research and development.
There is mainly an all-solid-state battery in the front, and no one wants the technology to be too backward and deep technology, and when the time comes, it will gradually be eliminated from the market like those lithium battery companies.
Just when the entire artificial intelligence industry was surging and the world's eyes were focused on deep technology, Xu Yun took Chen Shihe to the imperial capital and was invited to participate in the party before the award ceremony.
……
……
"Do you want to go over there and rest for a while, there are indeed a lot of acquaintances today."
In the party hall, Xu Yun felt the softness coming from his arm, and asked Chen Shihe beside him softly.
Unlike on the way to the imperial capital, Chen Shihe changed into a beautiful dress and wore high heels at this moment, and he would indeed look tired when he stood and walked around for a long time.
The Xu Yun Mathematics Award Ceremony, which is mainly held for the first time in cooperation with the Xu Yun Mathematics Foundation and the Mathematical Society, naturally invited many scholars in the mathematics field, coupled with his reputation and status in the mathematics community, it is inevitable that many people will come to greet and have a brief conversation.
There's no way around it.
Being a celebrity is meant to be hard.
After all, he can't be like Perelman, just close himself off and don't ask anything.
"I'm fine." Chen Shihe shook his head and said with a smile.
She accompanied Xu Yun to this banquet, which was the best proof of her identity.
On this occasion, he definitely wants to be by Xu Yun's side all the time.
Xu Yun knew Chen Shihe's character, and when he heard this, he didn't continue to persuade.
just gently squeezed Chen Shihe's hand.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they noticed several familiar figures walking towards them out of the corner of their eyes.
In addition to Yuan Chengming, president of the Mathematical Society, there are also mathematicians such as Zhang Yitang and Tang Gu Cong.
In addition, next to them was Ms. Qin Shuang, the head of the company's dispatch management of the Xu Yun Mathematics Foundation.
After all, with the development and growth of deep technology, Meng Songyan has been very difficult to manage, and it is necessary to decentralize power to cultivate more excellent management and operation talents for the company.
Surely he can't be in charge of the Foundation's business himself.
However, the Xu Yun Foundation is mainly responsible for providing bonuses and support for the Xu Yun Mathematics Prize awarded every year.
As the person in charge selected by the company, Qin Shuang's ability is enough to run the foundation well.
Seeing that they were all old acquaintances, Xu Yun simply stood in place and waited, and took the initiative to say hello when he came to him.
"President Yuan."
"I would like to thank the Mathematics Society for its strong support for the success of this award ceremony."
first smiled and joked with Yuan Chengming, and then looked at Zhang Yitang and Tang Gucong and said: "I haven't seen two professors for a long time, and you are welcome to participate in the first Xu Yun Mathematics Award." ”
Everyone is an acquaintance who has known each other for a long time, and there is nothing inhibited when it comes to talking.
The next second, Yuan Chengming's hearty laughter came from his ears.
"You are the director of our Mathematics Society, not to mention this kind of thing that is conducive to the development of the domestic mathematics community, the Mathematics Society must fully support it, and we are also cooperating with Ms. Qin."
"President Yuan and the Math Society have helped us a lot." Qin Shuang hurriedly smiled when he heard this.
The foundation mainly provides financial support, and the selection of the winners needs to rely on the power of the mathematical society.
Xu Yun knew everything about this, so he didn't go into it, and quickly changed the topic.
took the initiative to introduce Chen Shihe to everyone.
"I forgot to introduce to you, this is my fiancée Chen Shihe, and I will come over to drink the wedding wine when I get married next month."
"Of course, the gift money is not less."
Speaking of the last sentence, I didn't forget to ridicule it.
It is no secret that he is going to get married in the circle of acquaintances, after all, it is not long before the wedding date.
It's just that most people haven't seen Chen Shihe.
Yuan Chengming, Zhang Yitang, Tang Gucong and others, hearing this, couldn't help but look at Chen Shihe.
The eyes are full of the elders' love for the younger ones.
"Don't worry, even if you don't invite us, we have to be cheeky to drink the wedding wine."
Chen Shihe also hurriedly opened his mouth to greet a few people at this time, and the words were gentle and generous, and everyone was beautiful at a glance.
Almost at the moment when Yuan Chengming's voice fell, Tang Gu Cong next to him suddenly spoke very seriously.
"You two young people can have a few more children while they are young, and when the time comes, you must let them choose Imperial Capital University."
Prompted by the deputy dean of the Department of Mathematics of Imperial Capital University on the spot, Chen Shihe looked a little embarrassed, and a little shyness appeared on his face.
Although Xu Yun couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he knew what Tang Gu Cong thought.
Obviously, he was worried that he didn't choose Imperial Capital University.
But who can say what will happen in the future, even if there are children who are not interested in academics, it is another matter.
"I do my best."
In the end, Xu Yun smiled and spit out three words in response, which can be regarded as exposing the topic.
In the next time, Chen Shihe saw that they seemed to be discussing mathematical matters, so he didn't continue to stay by Xu Yun's side to disturb, but went to the side with Qin Shuang to talk.
Xu Yun did not refuse.
After all, compared to a few boring mathematicians, it is obvious that there are more topics to chat with girls.
When only Xu Yun and the four of them were left, the first to speak was Zhang Yitang, who had been studying twin primes.
"Professor Xu, thank you very much."
Originally, Xu Yun thought that he wanted to discuss number theory, but he didn't expect to say thank you when he opened his mouth.
So much so that he looked a little stunned.
Tang Gu Cong, who was still next to him, hurriedly opened his mouth to mention Zhang Yitang's explanation: "Old Tang's paper proving twin prime numbers has been submitted to the Annals of Mathematics, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be published." The words were full of joy, obviously happy for his old friend.
Unlike Xu Yun, who easily solved two mathematical problems in the world, Zhang Yitang has been studying twin primes for half his life.
Now that we have finally taken the last step, we are indeed gratifying.
Knowing that Zhang Yitang successfully proved the twin prime, Xu Yun was not surprised at all.
A long time ago, Zhang Yitang took the proof of twin primes one step further for the first time by virtue of the bounded distance between primes.
At present, relying on his topological group theory theory to complete the last step is a matter of course.
"Congratulations, Professor Zhang, it is a very good thing to be able to realize your lifelong ideal, but this is the reward for your hard work, and I didn't help much."
"Without your topological group theory, I wouldn't be able to prove twin primes."
Zhang Yitang shook his head, still insisting on his own point of view, believing that his success was all because of Xu Yun.
"Anyway, it's a good thing, and when the paper is published, it should have a chance to compete for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics." Yuan Chengming was worried that the two would continue to argue, so he immediately diverted the topic and interrupted the two.
With Zhang Yitang's age, even if he proves the twin prime, there is no way to win the Fields Medal.
The only ones that can compete are the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize.
Of course, with the status of twin primes in the world of number theory, there will be no problem in winning one of these awards at that time.
After Yuan Chengming finished saying this, he put his attention back on Xu Yun in the next second.
Smile and ask out loud.
"The two winners of this year's Xu Yun Mathematics Award are also in the venue, do you want to see them first?"
According to the requirements of the Xu Yun Mathematics Award, the participants must be under the age of 40 and a maximum of three winners will be selected each year, and the selection committee will be composed of academicians and professors selected by the Mathematical Society.
After several rounds of screening, the list was finalized.
The first Xu Yun Mathematics Award only selected two winners, one from the Department of Mathematics of Imperial Capital University and the other from well-known overseas universities.
His research interests include differential equations and algebraic geometry.
Xu Yun has already seen the papers and research results of the two of them, and knows that the selection committee is really concerned about this matter, and is eligible for this award and bonus.
Mainly because of his existence, although the status of the domestic mathematical community has risen internationally, there are still fewer gifted mathematical geniuses than overseas, especially those under the age of forty.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one winner in the first awards, it would be too shabby, and I'm afraid there wouldn't even be two places.
Of course, Xu Yun also knew that there was no way to do it, after all, it was unrealistic to solve this kind of deep-rooted problem immediately.
He founded the Xu Yun Mathematics Award to gradually improve and truly cultivate excellent and quality geniuses.
At tomorrow's award ceremony, he, as the founder of the award, will present medals and bonuses to the winners, thinking that they will meet soon, and there is no need to call them over in advance to run this trip.
The thought stayed here, he shook his head and said to Yuan Chengming: "I won't bother them today, I will have a good exchange and cooperation with them tomorrow." ”
"It's fine."
"I'm sure these two will be very excited tomorrow, they're all your fans."
Yuan Chengming nodded in agreement, and at the end he didn't forget to smile and tease Xu Yun.
It is not easy to take advantage of this opportunity to bring people together in the field of mathematics, and many old friends always have to say hello.
After talking to Xu Yun, the three of them did not linger, and soon walked towards the location of other acquaintances.
Looking at the backs of several people quickly fading out of view, Xu Yun just wanted to go to find Chen Shihe and Qin Shuang, when a somewhat familiar shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Xu Yun."
Slightly lame Chinese pronunciation.
Hearing this, Xu Yun immediately turned around and found that it was Dr. Minter, a student of Professor Griffith at the Clay Institute.
Today he was dressed in a dark blue suit and had a glass of red wine in his hand.
Fortunately, there are very few young girls as an evening party in the math world, otherwise this guy would definitely be in the spotlight.
"I'm sorry."
"It's time to call you Professor Xu, my friend."
Mingte seemed to let go of the knot, walked up to Xu Yun, took the initiative to touch the wine glass, and smiled to communicate in foreign language.
The last time at the Mathematicians' Conference, he saw Xu Yun prove Goldbach's conjecture on the spot, which led to all his years of research in vain, and his mood was indeed extremely low.
He didn't even come forward to congratulate him after the report was over.
It was only when he returned to the Clay Institute of Mathematics that he gradually regained his fighting spirit and chose a new direction of study.
"Long time no see, Dr. Minter."
Xu Yun still has a good impression of this handsome foreign guy whose appearance is only lower than his own.
He took a slight sip of his wine glass and responded with the same smile.
"I'm here for my teacher this time, and I don't know if I can ask you a question about the Riemann conjecture after the award ceremony."
"I've decided to catch up with you and spend the rest of my time trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis."
After listening to Mingte's words, Xu Yun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that after Goldbach's conjecture was proved by him, the other party would choose to study the most famous Riemann conjecture in mathematics.
You must know that compared with the Goldbach conjecture, the Riemann conjecture is not only included in the Hilbert problem, but also one of the seven world mathematical problems awarded by the Clay Institute of Mathematics.
The key point is that unlike Goldbach's conjecture, which is an easy-to-understand problem, the Riemann conjecture has a high threshold, and not everyone can study and try to prove it.
Minter was able to take the Riemann conjecture as his goal, and he was indeed very bold and persevering.
"Absolutely."
"Hopefully you can achieve this."
Xu Yun did not refuse Mingte's request, and immediately gave an affirmative answer.
even made a special blessing.
Although he did not systematically prove the Riemann conjecture, he also studied and had a certain understanding, and there was no problem in communicating and discussing with Minte.
