April 1st.
It was a rather special day.
Xing Hai Technologies had launched a brand new product – the "Star Brain No. 4" AI chip based on the neural network architecture.
The chip used a 7-nanometer manufacturing process. It was the size of a beer bottle cap and had an intelligent computing speed of 2 trillion calculations per second. Its performance was doubled compared to the previous generation of "Star Brain No. 3."
It was combined with the "intelligent learning program."
It was sufficient to meet the needs of various scenarios.
The Little Star Fourth Gen intelligent learning machine, which was still in its testing phase and was still desperately "swallowing" various university-level knowledge, would be able to be launched into the market in no time after being equipped with this AI chip.
However, the purpose of Xing Hai Technologies deliberately releasing the "Star Brain No. 4" AI chip was not to indicate that the "Little Star Fourth Gen" was about to be launched.
Instead, it was to announce the official arrival of the "Era of Intelligence!"
This was probably confusing to some. The Era of Intelligence had long arrived. Since when was it Xing Hai Technologies' turn to announce it?
But that was indeed the case.
The "Era of Intelligence" announced by Xing Hai Technologies was the true "Era of Intelligence."
They announced that from now on, all kinds of intelligent devices would penetrate into various industries and enter every corner of human society. It would greatly facilitate everyone's work, study, and life.
The scope of application would become infinitely broad!
This was because the "Star Brain No. 4" AI chip would not only be used by Xing Hai Technologies itself, but it would also be sold to any domestic manufacturers.
They also launched the "Star Web Intelligent Developer Platform." They welcomed all companies or developers to use this platform to develop the intelligent applications that they needed.
At the press conference.
Chen Jin, who was controlling his avatar, said,
"From today onwards, all domestic companies or developers can purchase our Star Brain No. 4 chip and use our Star Web development platform to develop the intelligent devices that you need.
Let me cite a few common areas of application:
For example, in the field of agriculture, farmers are actually an experiential profession. There is a lot of knowledge involved in when to sow seeds, when to weed, fertilize, water, kill pests, and harvest. Those who don't understand these things may not be able to harvest a single grain. But we can develop an 'Agricultural Assistant' to guide farmers on how to farm and manage crops. It can even allow novices who don't know how to farm to quickly become experts in farming. "
"For example, vehicle maintenance. It is said that it takes at least two years to train a qualified auto mechanic to thoroughly understand the structural principles of a car's engine, gearbox, brakes, and other components. Then, to find out the problems encountered by a faulty car, and formulate a corresponding maintenance plan to repair a car. Ordinary apprentices may not be able to solve those complex and large-scale problems. Only experienced masters can quickly and well repair a car."
"Let's say that someone developed a 'Car Repair Assistant' based on the Star Web platform and the Star Brain No. 4 chip. They can upload the repair experience of some car repair masters into the database, allowing the intelligent learning program to grasp and thoroughly learn the car repair knowledge. Then, they can give the 'Car Repair Assistant' to those students or apprentices. In the end, with the help of the 'Car Repair Assistant', every auto mechanic can become a car repair master."
"And in the field of maintenance, in addition to vehicle maintenance, there are also some large-scale construction machinery, and even more complex tanks, airplanes, ships, and aircraft carriers. They can all be developed with the corresponding 'Car Repair Assistant' to repair all equipment."
"Another example is the machine tool operators in factories. They can also develop a 'Machine Tool Operation Assistant' to help workers quickly get started."
"In addition, many assembly line factories can develop a 'Training Assistant' to increase the efficiency of worker training if they feel that it is too time-consuming or troublesome."
"There are also welders, fitters, and other technical jobs. They can develop their own 'Work Assistant' to increase work efficiency and experience."
"Let every 'Work Assistant' become an experienced 'master.' They can guide you correctly to be competent in various jobs."
"At its strongest state, with the help of the 'Work Assistant,' anyone with a little hands-on ability can repair a spaceship."
There was no doubt that these various kinds of Work Assistants would greatly reduce the difficulty of getting started, regardless of the position. The cost of learning would be greatly reduced, and occupational barriers would no longer exist. The ultimate situation was: Even if you did not know anything, as long as you had a Work Assistant in your hands, you would know everything.
For example, if you saw an airplane but did not know how to fly it, but when the "Work Assistant" in your hands was loaded with knowledge related to "piloting an airplane," you could follow the step-by-step instructions of the Work Assistant and quickly learn to fly the airplane.
Just like skills in games, the era of knowledge and skills had arrived.
Having a "Work Assistant" in one's hands was similar to a protagonist in a fantasy novel with an "old grandpa." A useless person would immediately become a genius.
Therefore, the purpose of Xing Hai Technologies releasing the "Star Brain No. 4" AI chip and launching the Star Web development platform was to guide the arrival of the "old grandpa era."
But …
What benefits did this bring to Xing Hai Technologies?
What could Xing Hai Technologies gain from selling the most advanced AI chip to others and supporting the development of "Work Assistants" in various industries?
Knowledge!
Xing Hai Technologies gained valuable knowledge!
If a company developed the "Car Repair Assistant," then Xing Hai Technologies would have mastered all the car repair knowledge.
If a company developed the "Welder's Assistant," then Xing Hai Technologies would have mastered all the skills related to welding.
If a company used various kinds of Work Assistants to create airplanes, aircraft carriers, and spaceships, then Xing Hai Technologies would also have the ability to create airplanes, aircraft carriers, and spaceships after understanding all the working skills involved.
Almost all the knowledge or skills of various industries were collected by Xing Hai Technologies.
Knowledge was wealth. Mastering infinite knowledge was equivalent to mastering infinite wealth.
Moreover, using this method to collect knowledge was the most efficient. After all, not every industry was like the programming industry, with more than 5 million employees. Many niche industries with only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of employees were not worthy of Xing Hai Technologies personally developing "Work Assistants" to help those niche industrial workers.
Not only was it not cost-effective, but it was also too busy!
It was best to provide chips, development tools, and big data services for others to develop.
…
After Xing Hai Technologies' press conference ended.
All the industries in the country were in an uproar!
While countless people were excited about the imminent arrival of the "Intelligent Era," they were also shocked by Xing Hai Technologies' ambition.
