After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 15 A project of great merit

In fact, the development of the matter has somewhat exceeded Hao Cheng's expectations. After thinking about it, Hao Cheng interrupted them and separated them: "It seems that the problem of data inheritance is still very big."

"What?" In just a moment, He Gang was already overwhelmed by the thunder, but Hao Cheng still said that the problem was serious.

"This problem is caused by data inheritance. Xiaosha originally had some data, but because of restrictions, it had to be kept confidential and could not be disclosed to the public."

Hao Cheng explained: "So the performance of the entire line based on these data is very fragmented. I thought it could talk on its own, but now it seems that it is still very weak and needs more practice."

He Gang's mouth twitched and he didn't want to talk anymore.

We are still studying how to accumulate more data and more computing power to obtain more powerful models. Look at you, where have we progressed to? This is it? What are we?
Hao Cheng did not explain too much. He had just discovered these problems. As for how to solve them, to be honest, he himself did not know. He would think and study the logic behind the upgrade whenever he had time, but at least so far, there has been no progress.

He changed the subject directly: "Regarding your first question just now, which is why we need partners, let me answer. The most important reason is that I lack money and computing power. The reason why I prefer Huawei the most is because you have the unrestricted Ascend."

At this point, Hao Cheng got straight to the point: "Mr. He, can you tell me a little bit about the current production capacity of Ascend 910C?"

“It’s not enough. We can only make a trade-off between terminal business and computing power supply.”

Although it has not been made public, there is nothing to hide about something that is known to everyone: "Fortunately, the production capacity and yield rate have improved a lot compared to a year ago, but before the domestic lithography machine is commercialized, the problem cannot be completely solved."

He Gang guessed what Hao Cheng meant, and then said immediately: "However, if Mr. Hao needs it, I will definitely give it to you first.

"Also, we have a developer innovation center in Linzhou. A backup computer room has just been built there but has not yet been put into use. If there is a need here, we can use it first. The computer room has 910 B servers and a computing power of TFLOPS."

He Gang originally planned to provide Huawei Cloud's computing power to Hao Cheng, but at this moment, he turned his head to look at the mobile phone on the bracket, and thought about the scene just now, and decided to directly take out this computer room. It happened that the place was also in the High-tech Zone and was close to Hao Cheng.

"Hmm." Hao Cheng smacked his hands. Ten thousand computing power can almost meet the needs of one million people online at the same time. It is definitely enough in the short term: "Well, I can't afford it now, so I'll rent it first. Combined with our cooperation."

Hao Cheng went on to say: "It is no problem to integrate the ability of Fingertip Quicksand into Xiaoyi, but it is impossible to make it exclusive. We need users. Let's put it this way, this is not about money at all. With more users, our ability can evolve and become stronger. Mr. He should understand this."

"The evolution and iteration of AI do require a lot of data support." After Hao Cheng said this, He Gang had nothing else to say.

Hao Cheng also nodded silently, although in reality it was not the case at all - here, as long as there were users, they could directly obtain energy points and upgrade directly.

"We don't need to ask for exclusivity for priority updates. We want to be first in every feature update." He Gang thought about it and proposed his own exchange conditions:
"The computer room has 910 Ascend Bs, with a total cost of million. During the priority service period, it will be provided to you for free. If the cooperation lasts for more than three years, the computer room will be yours. What do you think?"

He Gang also saw that Hao Cheng valued this computing power more. The backup computer room of the Developer Innovation Center was of limited significance, and it came in handy at this time.

"Okay." Hao Cheng did a quick calculation and nodded. It was nothing more than a promise to give priority to updating the native Hongmeng version. In fact, even if we didn't talk about this cooperation, he originally planned to do so:

"Let's say this first, and then we'll discuss the details of the follow-up cooperation."

"No, there's one more thing."

As he spoke, He Gang took out a mobile phone from his bag. It was the Huawei Mate70 Pro+, the most powerful Mate in history that President Yu officially announced on Weibo, which had not yet been released.

Hao Cheng knew that he must have something to do, and it was not to give him a mobile phone. As expected, He Gang pointed to the center of the rear camera module and said, "This is a 1.5MP lens. Unlike ordinary cameras, it is a color real-time imaging device.

"Compared with the ordinary RGB scheme, it has a wider color gamut coverage. In other words, it can see things that the human eye cannot see, and it can notice details that the human eye ignores."

He Gang paused for a moment while saying this. Hao Cheng was curious. I didn't know much about the camera, so why was he telling me this? "What exactly is it?"

"When used in video, it can restore the true colors seen by the human eye to the greatest extent possible." He Gang also kept it a secret: "Besides this, do you think it has any other uses?"

"Other functions?"

“Yes, in addition to imaging, its essence is a multi-spectral detector with 150 million channels. Such a detector combined with AI can be used to conduct food safety testing, such as drug residues in crops and food ingredient testing.

"But after a lot of training, the results were always unsatisfactory and the accuracy was too low."

Having said that, Hao Cheng understood what He Gang wanted to do.

The theory behind this kind of thing is actually not complicated. For example, right now, take an apple and put it there. When the AI on your mobile phone takes a picture of it, it will do an analysis and tell you whether the apple is fresh or not.

It’s just that the color differences of ordinary mobile phone cameras are large, and the color gamut is not wide enough, so it’s just for fun.

Is there any difference in color between fruits with more pesticide residues and fruits with less pesticide residues? You can't see it with the naked eye.

The multi-spectral detector is different. It can really do this, and combined with AI, it can do even more. Hao Cheng frowned.

Pre-prepared meals with a shelf life of several years, cooking oil mixed with kerosene, pesticide residues on vegetables, sweet potato flour without sweet potatoes...

Even snacks are unsafe now, and the ingredient lists are unreadable. Do people really not care?
Just look at how popular Pang Donglai is and you will know that people do care, but most people don’t have the energy or money to care, that’s all.

If there was an extremely simple way to see the origin with just a scan and a photo, allowing consumers to vote with their feet, it would avoid the vicious cycle of bad money driving out good money, thereby forcing the industry to progress!
I don’t know whether this idea can be realized. If it can be realized, the only person who can do it at present is probably Hao Chenggong.

"Leave the phone to me!" Hao Cheng thought about it and decided to take the job. Not because the other party was Huawei, but because this matter was really a great merit.

……

"Old Yu, he took it." He Gang came out and returned to the hotel. He was reporting his work to Yu Dong and told him the details of the situation.

"Do you think he can do it?" Yu Dong asked.

"I think so!" He Gang said without hesitation, "And even if not, we are qualified to be Huawei's strategic partner!"

"Oh? Lao He, your confidence has improved so much after this trip. You must have seen something good. Tell me what happened.
