Chapter 596 The Mysterious Newly Established R&D Department of Tomorrow Cube
"How could I not know? GRU stands for Gated Recurrent Unit, proposed by Professor Kyunghyun Cho and others from New York University. It's a simplified version of LSTM, also using a gating mechanism to regulate information flow. Unlike LSTM's three gates and two states, GRUs only have two gates and one state. The LSTM's forget gate and input gate are combined into an update gate, used to determine how much past information to retain and how much new information to integrate. Because GRU has fewer parameters, it is usually faster to train."

"The Seq2Seq model was proposed by Canadian computer scientist Ilya Sutskever and his team. This model uses an encoder-decoder architecture to transform an input sequence into an output sequence. The Seq2Seq model is widely used in tasks such as machine translation, speech recognition, and text summarization."

When these topics came up, Zhou Shengxuan spoke at length: "And these computer software models are all based on basic mathematics and Riemannian geometry. Hey, Mr. Fang, you studied finance, how did you notice these things?"

Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Shengxuan asked.

"To be honest, I don't really understand the specifics of these models, but I'm very interested in their applications," Fang Qingye replied.

"AI? Artificial intelligence?" Zhou Shengxuan immediately thought of this.

"Yes, are you interested in AI-based models? Would you like to study them?" Fang Qingye asked.

“Sure, I can give it a try. It’s more interesting than doing those financial modeling problems,” Zhou Shengxuan replied immediately.

“Okay, you decide how many people and how much equipment and funding you need. I’ll tell General Manager Xu that this part of the funding will be budgeted separately and will be provided in sufficient quantities.”

"Huh?" Zhou Shengxuan was a little surprised. "It's not just me?"

"Of course, it's not just you alone; I'm having you organize a team! And report directly to me! From today onwards, you'll be keeping a close eye on the world's most advanced AI algorithms, theories, models, and so on—not just catching up, but surpassing them!" Fang Qingye's tone became serious.
"I'll give you money and manpower, but you have to produce results within three to five years! Do you dare to do it? If not, I'll find someone else from outside."

Zhou Shengxuan, who had been somewhat nonchalant, became serious. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly slammed his hand on the coffee table and shouted, "Why aren't you doing it? It's not like I haven't studied this stuff before."

“That’s settled then. If you see someone you like in the company, just ask Dr. Wei. I’ll tell her I won’t stop you. If we don’t have enough people, we can recruit from outside with high salaries, both domestic and foreign, it’s fine!” Fang Qingye said.

"Forget it, I'll just hire from outside. I'm afraid that Wei Xinghua, that woman from Northeast China, will fight me to the death." Zhou Shengxuan chuckled.

"However, the guy we just hired, Huang Hua, interned here two years ago. I saw that he was quite good at software programming, so I brought him over. This AI model not only needs math talent, but also computer science software programmers."

Zhou Shengxuan said.

“Sure, I’ll call him over now.” Fang Qingye took out her phone.

"Huang Hua, come here for a moment."

"Where am I? I'm in your sister-in-law's office at Tomorrow Cube, come quick!"

Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and the door was pushed open to see Huang Hua walking in with a grin. He said to Fang Qingye, "Brother Fang, what a rare guest! It's not often I see you here."

"Here you are," Fang Qingye said after he sat down. "I heard from President Duan that he wants you to be the company's CISO, but you're still not willing."

"It's boring and not challenging," Huang Hua said lazily.

“Alright, let’s work with Dr. Zhou on AI models,” Fang Qingye said.

Zhou Shengxuan then told Huang Hua about Fang Qingye's opinion and his own thoughts.

Huang Hua chuckled, "As expected of Brother Fang! You have good taste!" He then gave a thumbs-up.

"I heard from my older sister that AI models are starting to become popular in the United States. She said that if I don't like working in finance, that would be a good option for me. It seems that my older sister has mentioned this to you?"

"No," Fang Qingye replied truthfully.

"Then you two are perfectly in sync."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fang Qingye interrupted the guy's rambling. "Then it's settled! We'll set up an AI model R&D team, with Dr. Zhou in charge and you assisting him." Fang Qingye made the final decision: "Huang Hua, call over a few of the company's leaders to announce this, along with General Manager Bai and General Manager Li!"

"OK!"

Soon, Bai Ou, Li Li, Wei Xinghua, Xu Mei, and Duan Xuebin, the senior leaders of the two companies, gathered in the office, and Fang Qingye publicly announced that they would start the research and development of AI large model.

"This is a secret R&D project under Tomorrow Cube. Do not announce it to the public. Personnel, funding, management, and facilities must remain independent. Report the R&D progress directly to me," Fang Qingye concluded.

Everyone understood.

This project is actually registered under the name of Tomorrow Cube and has absolutely nothing to do with the quantitative trading that Tomorrow Cube is currently engaged in.

Soon, a department called Model Group 2 was quietly established within Tomorrow Cube, with Zhou Shengxuan as the group leader and Huang Hua as the deputy group leader. The office was still located inside the company, but the security measures there seemed to be stricter. To enter the office, one had to go through another access control. Not to mention companies outside, even ordinary employees of Tomorrow Cube did not have the right to enter.

As for what they're researching, nobody knows.
In the evening, Fang Qingye accompanied Bai Ou for a walk in the neighborhood. These past few days, Fang Qingye had been staying in Shanghai, and her nightly routine included taking a walk with Bai Ou.

Because of her pregnancy, Bai Ou stopped all her evening workouts, running, and yoga. Evening walks became her only form of exercise.

When talking about the establishment of the AI ​​large model project today, Bai Ou laughed and said, "Ye Zi, it's lucky that you rented the entire 38th floor, otherwise the office space wouldn't be enough."

"Honey, I had foresight."

"Here we go again," Bai Ou rolled her eyes at Fang Qingye.

However, she did admire that when Tuofang Technology rented a 1700-square-meter office suite, it seemed particularly spacious.

Later, Tomorrow Cube was established, and Zhiyun Technology also moved in. Fang Qingye immediately decided to rent the office space of the already bankrupt Baoying Fund, and later expanded it to the entire floor.

Baopay was established and occupied an unused office space on the east side of the floor, adjacent to Zhiyun Technology.

Now Tomorrow Cube has established Model 2 Group. Although it is only a department of Tomorrow Cube, according to Zhou Shengxuan's idea, it should have at least 30 people, with its own computer room and network system, which is equivalent to a small company!
They all belong to my husband.

White lotus root feels proud just thinking about it.

“I’m planning to build a building,” Fang Qingye suddenly blurted out.

"Ok?"

“We’ll build our own skyscraper in Pudong. It doesn’t need to be too tall, around 40 to 50 stories will do. We’ll move all the companies, including Tuofang Technology, there. As for the specific location, either the Lujiazui Free Trade Zone or the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park further away will be fine,” Fang Qingye said.

"This matter was led by Li Li, who organized manpower to communicate with the government in the name of Tuofang Technology. In the end, we discussed and made the decision."

Bai Ou wasn't particularly surprised by Fang Qingye's plan to build a skyscraper. He had heard about it before, but it was only being formally brought up now.

“I’ll take the lead. Li Li just came back from Hong Kong and isn’t familiar with the local government departments,” Bai Ou said.

"You? You're pregnant, so you should just stay in the office." Fang Qingye glanced at her: "Otherwise, your mother will accuse you of running around and blame me again."

"Ugh! Don't listen to her!"
