Xueba's computing system

Chapter 272 Just right
Lin Yuan turned his attention back to the private message.

“We would like to inform you that our subsequent open source move is likely to cause a shock to the international AI market, especially in the computing power card field. This is because we have greatly reduced the computing power required for training based on your suggestions.

So, you might want to go short now. This is just our suggestion, of course. We believe you are a person of high character. But this is one of the few ways we can repay your kindness. . . ”

DS is a very honest company. After receiving Lin Yuan's advice, they returned the favor by telling Lin Yuan: after calculation, they found an opportunity to short the AI sector.

But in fact, Lin Yuan gave the advice to DS company in order to short the AI sector on the other side of the strait.

This made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed, because DS praised Lin Yuan so much in the letter that he couldn't stand it.

But all this is not important. What is important is that Lin Yuan really bet all the 100 million that Musk gave him in the Eagle Country stock market.

Lin Yuan also added ten times the leverage, so that the gains would be magnified tenfold, and the losses would also be magnified tenfold.

Musk even joked with Lin Yuan: After losing the 100 million, why not go to work for him? Or just take the 100 million to the casino in Las Vegas, where it would be more fun to spend 100 million.

Lin Yuan simply replied calmly, "I really want to short your country's AI sector represented by NVIDIA."

Musk obviously doesn't believe this. Shorting NVIDIA? What a joke. Which GPU computing power card in the world is as good as his?

In the absence of competitors, how can one short NVIDIA? Just by willpower? Musk believes that even he himself cannot short NVIDIA.

However, late one night later.

Just when Musk and the old boy at Mar-a-Lago were discussing enthusiastically how to carry out the work of the Efficiency Department next, the old boy suddenly asked him a question - Elon, has there been any problem with your OpenAI recently.

Musk was very puzzled because the old boy had just taken office and should not have the energy to care about things related to OpenAI.

"My king, why do you care about this issue?"

"Oh, the FBI gave me some information in order to beg for mercy. You know, Elon, the FBI is very afraid of me now. They are anxious. But they don't seem to be honest. They actually told me that your OpenAI is likely to face heavy losses, so you should pay attention in advance."

Musk pursed his lips and looked speechless, "Come on! Do those guys know what AI is?"

"I think so too. They said that several international investment banks have discovered a strong competitor to OpenAI. That's ridiculous, Elon. I've never heard such a funny joke."

Musk laughed along and took the document from the old boy.

Whether out of curiosity or caution, Musk examined the document carefully.

The document roughly depicts a very vague incident. Several FBI informants in major investment banks in the financial industry reported the same news - the major investment banks they worked for suddenly became pessimistic about the AI sector in the United States and were raising money to step up short selling, and they were very urgent.

As for the specific detailed analysis, there is none. In short, those investment banks suddenly wanted to short the AI sector of Eagle Country for no reason.

Musk thought this was ridiculous. "My king, it seems that we really need to cut the expenses of these intelligence departments. Look at their work, and they send such baseless gossip as intelligence." "Elon, they are afraid. They are afraid of us, so they panic. I like their performance very much. They should be afraid. We should praise them and encourage their behavior.

But we also need to warn them, don't expect to fool us with this kind of fake news in the future, they need to come up with something real. Just like when they went to investigate my Mar-a-Lago, they need to show the same enthusiasm as they did back then, they need to perform well. "

"My king, you are right."

While Musk agreed, he caught a glimpse of the stack of information in his hand. In the corner of one of the pages, he mentioned an open source project on GitHub.

Once again, whether out of curiosity or caution, he quickly entered the URL into his mobile phone to check out the project.

According to the intelligence, this open source project was dug out by an agent from the internal documents of his investment bank. As for why this project was included in the intelligence, it was because the investment bank frequently mentioned this project in internal meetings in recent days.

Musk opened it and took a look at it, and his face looked a little strange, because this open source project turned out to be an AI language model project, which instantly caught his attention.

You have to know that if those FBI guys really show their professionalism, they are not just a bunch of people who just do nothing but work.

Musk quickly discovered the key point in the project introduction - this AI large language model claimed to have very low computing power requirements, less than one-tenth of chatGPT4, so the logical chain was connected.

Because this model requires extremely low computing power, it will cause a huge shock to the AI sector in the United States, so the shameless investment banks in the United States are preparing to short their own AI technology stocks.

This is completely logically valid, and the only key point is whether this model is really as claimed in the project introduction document - extremely low computing power consumption.

This cannot be guessed, it has to be tested.

If such a thing happened in Longguo, the script would be that the company's technical backbones would be called up overnight, and everyone would roll up their sleeves to test the model late at night.

But this is the home of the Eagle Country. There is no tradition of getting up in the middle of the night to work. Private time is sacred and inviolable. No matter whether the company is shady or not, no matter whether there will be layoffs or not, at most you can cry when there are layoffs. Anyway, overtime is impossible. Even if the R&D staff in the Eagle Country are paid very high, they will never let you work overtime.

This may be another extreme. Musk could only wait until the next day to organize people to test. As a result, he suddenly remembered that the next day was a holiday.

Damn, he really wants to curse.

But then, he suddenly realized that this might be the work of the masterminds behind the scenes. The masterminds deliberately released the algorithm during the holidays, giving major financial institutions enough time to prepare, because the Eagle Country stock market is currently closed. At the same time, they did not give OpenAI and other technology companies enough time to react, because most of their engineers were on vacation.

There is never a real vacation for those working in the financial industry, because the financial industry is changing rapidly. Even when they are on vacation, those working in top investment banks will keep in touch with the outside world in real time, which means they are essentially working while on vacation.

But engineers in the IT industry don’t care about this. I’m on vacation and no one can bother me.

Musk instinctively felt a chill down his spine, because it was all too coincidental. Whether it was the entry point of the algorithm or the timing of the choice, it seemed just right.
