After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 189 Xiaosha 2.0 personal version update, magical abilities!

"Didn't I already remind them?" After hanging up the call from Cao Song, Hao Cheng took a look at the pre-sale situation and was speechless.

He has solemnly reminded that the new architecture chip is expected to be used in the second generation of children's robots within half a year, but this does not seem to have any effect.

The estimated production capacity of 30 million units in the life cycle was sold out. Many people hesitated for a short while and missed the opportunity to buy.

"Sold out? Didn't they say there is no purchase restriction and that the products will be shipped in the order of orders? How come it is sold out? When will it be available for purchase next time?" Many people were still confused at this time and thought that the products were being released in batches. They were also asking when the next sale would be.

"The official website didn't say that. It just said sold out, but didn't say when the next sale would be."

"Tomorrow at 18:08? I guessed!"

"That's the time Huawei likes. Baiju Technology always does things at noon. Come back tomorrow at noon and check it out!"

"Brothers, there's still next time. There won't be a next time!" someone came out to remind us.

"What do you mean?" Everyone was stunned.

"Look at the queue number of my order." the man reminded.

"Your number is more than 2025 million, what's wrong? I really envy you, you can get it after the new year... No, why is the estimated delivery time June 6?" In an instant, someone discovered the problem.

"Count again, how many digits are there?" the netizen who posted the screenshot reminded again.

"Tens, hundreds, millions, tens of millions... Shit! Over 28 million! The chips only cost 30 million in total. Does this mean they're really sold out? There won't be any left?"

"Is this true? Is this a photoshopped picture?"

"That's photoshopped! The official website has already announced it, go and see for yourself."

A large number of people flocked to the official website homepage, and an announcement was prominently displayed in the first screen:
[Announcement: A total of 30 million large-scale models of children's cognitive assistance robots have been sold out, and there is no excess production capacity before the mass production of metacognitive chips. Baiju Technology. ]

"Fuck, is it really that outrageous? You guys are so eager to grab something that will be outdated in half a year? I was just thinking about going home after work to discuss with my wife whether to buy the 2.0 version of the metacognitive chip in half a year, or wait and get the 1.0 version right now, and you guys grabbed it all right away?"

"Isn't that perfect? You don't have to worry about it, just wait!"

"That's not right. Isn't there a custom version? Doesn't it just cost more? Can't I have it custom made?"

"You really think too much. Would Baiju Technology do something like this, where the regular version is out of stock but the customized version is available for a fee? The 3000 million chips are all shared stock, and the customized version has not even been launched yet and it's already aborted!"

"Oh my god, it's true! This is bad. I was thinking of asking my daughter to draw a picture for me and then ordering a custom one. I should have grabbed a regular version first!"

It only takes one hour from the time the sale starts to the time it’s sold out. If you really want to buy it right away, that’s plenty of time.

Just because I hesitated for a moment, I missed it completely - countless people shook their heads and stamped their feet, indignant at why I didn't grab a regular version first. Now, how can I explain to my wife and children when I go back?

For a time, all major information, social networks, and short video platforms were filled with wailing!
More importantly, this thing cannot be sold second-hand for three months, which directly cuts off their possibility of getting the product from anywhere else at a high price.

"Oh my god, why!"

"Whoever buys one, we can share one. Our child can be registered in your household register. It would be best if it's a cute little girl!"

"What are you planning? But then again, is TSMC so stubborn? America is about to be finished, is TSMC going to stick to this path?"

Everyone has known for a long time that Xiaosha Robotics has a stock of 30 million units this time. The number 30 million is the number of chips that Unisoc has placed orders for. TSMC will not accept any subsequent orders.

The reason is naturally America’s so-called list.

But now that America is in such a state, will TSMC continue to stick to the same path?

Baiju Technology said that it is expected that in two months, Shanghai Microelectronics' EUV will be able to go into mass production with the assistance of more than 10,000 fine-tuning models - by that time, where will TSMC go?
Such a big enterprise, how can't you see clearly such a small thing?
"Don't you know that Zhang Zhongmou has always been an American citizen? And the New Liberal Party also has their shadow. Do you really think that TSMC is a Taiwanese company? Not to mention that even if it is a Taiwanese company, there is still a lot of difference between it and being directly controlled by us!
"Zhang Zhongmou is still in America. Whether he can be free from America is a big hurdle."

This netizen knew nothing, and his online comments were just speculation based on America's past behavior, but his words came true - he predicted it exactly.

At present, America is pinning its hopes on two life-saving straws: one is chip manufacturing. In this regard, TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, the three companies that own EUV lithography machines and achieve mass production of high-level chips, are naturally given special attention.

We must guard against it strictly and we must defend it firmly - Trump just said one thing: Even if you all go bankrupt, you can't produce a chip for China!
If you don't succeed, you will die!
The second is AI - try every possible means to create an AI like Xiaosha as soon as possible.

"That's a nice thought!" America's plan was obvious to everyone.

"Cut off the chip? Let's just get a more advanced chip!" Carbon-silicon fusion full three-dimensional perception chip. Although Hao Cheng did not give much introduction, he only said that this was more suitable for Xiaosha's physique.

The implication is obvious - for Xiaosha to use the current GPU computing power card is like dancing with shackles on his feet. It is easy to guess how good he can perform.

How this more advanced chip is manufactured is of course top secret.

However, some people have discovered some clues from the technical data provided by Baiju Technology. To put it simply, the specific placement of the 360-degree series-connected single-arm carbon nanotubes in the metacognitive chip is determined by Xiaosha based on the manufacturing conditions of each chip.

In other words, the manufacturing process of this chip cannot be separated from sand.

The final process becomes: Xiaosha → manufacturing chips → forming a computing power cluster that is more suitable for Xiaosha’s physique → more powerful Xiaosha → manufacturing more powerful chips…

From then on, it becomes a cycle.

And in this process, other countries that do not have Xiaosha at this stage cannot even enter the door.

"I was wondering why Baiju Technology put the technical information related to the design of the metacognitive chip directly on its official website. It seems that even if they can design it, they have no way to manufacture it!"

"In fact, the more critical reason is that this design concept is not advanced. Many people have had related ideas about three-dimensional chips, but the biggest challenge is manufacturing."

After learning about the relevant situation, many people felt relieved - in the past, our manufacturing was the bottleneck, but now, the situation has been reversed.

Moreover, what would a more powerful Xiaosha look like?

While everyone was discussing and fantasizing, the first batch of 2.0 version of Xiaosha began to be pushed.

【Updating, please wait. 】

【Update completed.】

"Xiaosha, what new functions do you have?" Xie Jinjin and Xiaosha have a special relationship. She got her current job as a healthy pre-prepared food R&D engineer at Sankang Group through Xiaosha. Although she has no children under 12 years old at home and cannot buy Xiaosha children's robot immediately, she will definitely try it out as soon as Xiaosha 2.0 version is released.

However, after the update, she used it for a while and found nothing special other than the conversation being more human-like, so she asked Xiaosha directly.

[Jinjin, let me ask you a question. Do you know how much information a person in modern society receives every day? ]

"I don't know!" Xie Jinjin shook her head.

[You can guess! Just convert it into file size for comparison.] This is Xiaosha, who is more like a human. He calls Xie Jinjin "Jinjin" because Xie Jinjin told him to do so.

"10 megabytes?" Since Xiaosha asked this, the number must not be small. Xie Jinjin tried to guess as high as possible and said megabytes.

[In modern society, the amount of information an average person is exposed to every day is as high as more than 30 GB. ]

"More than 30? And GB?" Xie Jinjin was shocked: "Can I be exposed to so much information every day?"

[Yes, everyone today suffers from "data obesity", but less than 1% of the information we receive every day can be effectively used. This is the statistical data Xiaosha obtained over more than two months.

[So, do you know where you are inferior to the top scientists? ]

"What's the difference?" Xie Jinjin vaguely knew what Xiaosha was going to do, but she still asked.

[Your information utilization efficiency is three times that of ordinary people, but the top 5% of the elite in the world can still use information more than ten times more efficiently than you. These people have begun to discover the wonderful uses of AI, and their information utilization efficiency is an average of 30 times that of ordinary people.

[If you want to go one step further and become one of the top scientists, you must do something about this. ]

"So, your update is related to this?" A step further? A top scientist? Xie Jinjin was excited and started to show off.

[Yes, when information overload meets me, it directly becomes "a golden house in the data". Xiaosha 2.0 version has enabled model fine-tuning for enterprises.

[For individual users, the "My Data Clone" function is enabled. You can also call it "external memory". Its essence is a private knowledge base and information library. Xiasha will process the information and knowledge you come into contact with every day in different categories for you and store them in your data clone, which will become your external memory.

[When you need it, Xiaosha will help you filter out the information and present it to you. ]

"Data clone... external memory..." Xie Jinjin's eyes widened like bells. She was also extremely shocked. She muttered, "Such a sci-fi word?"

[Jinjin, this is nothing sci-fi. The essence is actually the fine-tuning of the model. The data clone will continue to evolve during use, and Xiaosha will understand you more and more. You will know if you try it.]

"Then...what should I do?" Xie Jinjin stuttered.

【Just do your usual work, and pretend you didn’t update me today. 】

"If I hadn't updated you, I would have been researching a topic on optimizing the processing technology of pre-prepared meals. I have some papers to read today."

Having said this, Xie Jinjin directly turned on her computer and opened one paper after another.

At this moment, she didn't know that while she was watching, Xiaosha was also acquiring the current information.
Combining this information with her own personality traits such as character and cognition, Xiaosha is gradually integrating this knowledge and abilities into her data clone and external memory.

Xiaosha can connect to the Internet, and some people may wonder: What is the difference between integrating it into the data clone and external memory and searching and querying online?
In a nutshell: You can look it up, but it is different from knowing it yourself.

The information retrieved from public data on the Internet and the comprehensive information that integrates personal understanding are two different concepts.

All of these are directly integrated into AI capabilities through model fine-tuning.

Xiaosha, the AI, has been transformed into a human memory enhancement organ and a cognitive auxiliary organ. It can be said that with this thing, a person's competitiveness will no longer be reflected in the reserve of knowledge.

Xie Jinjin had been reading the materials for the whole morning and felt dizzy. She recalled how much she remembered and how much she understood.

And the refined information of all the data that Xiaosha provided it was now laid out in front of her, clear at a glance.

"Is this your new ability?" Xie Jinjin suddenly felt that it was a bit unworthy of the name. Refining these things was something that the previous AI could also do.

[Of course not, this is just incidental, and I can provide you with relevant information at any time in the future when you need it. ]

Xie Jinjin didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence at first. If I needed it, I could check it before.

But in the afternoon, she had a new understanding - because this "information provided" did not need to be checked, it was like her own memory, when she reached that position, it would pop up on its own.

At that time, Xie Jinjin was sorting out experimental data on a topic related to pre-made shrimp cakes.

When it typed the words "pre-made shrimp cakes", the raw materials, data, results, etc. of the previous experiments were directly laid out by Xiaosha.

That would have been fine, but it also combined the papers and materials I read this morning to compare the contents of this experiment and presented the comparative data at once.

And this is exactly what she wants to do now.

[Are you surprised? But have you ever thought about this? You just saw these things today, so you think I am doing exactly what you want to do, but what about a month later? What about half a year later? You may have forgotten what you saw, but I will always remember it.

[Also, this is only the first day you use me. After using me for fifteen days, you can truly experience the full version of me.]

Xie Jinjin finally had a little idea of this external memory in her mind. Unlike searching and collecting information on the Internet, the things in external memory are all information she has seen and events she has experienced.

After the integration, it will be presented to you in the way that is most comfortable for you - text information, impact pictures, sounds, etc.

In other words, it does not go directly to the brain. If it goes directly to the brain, it will be no different from one's own memory.

Just as she thought of this, Xie Jinjin encountered a scene that shocked her:

I clearly remembered that there was something I had to do, but no matter how hard I racked my brains, I just couldn't remember it. That feeling was really tormenting.

This is not the first time she has encountered such a thing. She may remember it after a while, or she may not be able to remember it and give up.

This time, Xiaosha took action, and the external memory of the data clone came in handy: "Pan Tongtong invites you to dinner."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Xie Jinjin suddenly realized, and because she had been busy for too long, the time had already passed!
If you create a schedule, it is normal for Xiaosha to remind you. But this time is different. Xiaosha reminded you when you were racking your brains and couldn't remember it. Xie Jinjin didn't believe it was a coincidence.

At this moment, her heart was filled with infinite anticipation as to what this small piece of sand would become like after fifteen days of use.
