Chapter 374: Losing from the beginning to the end
I roughly understood the cause and effect of the incident from the Internet, and watched Kong Jie’s interview video again...
Hu Yifei could only sigh with emotion at the smell of wine. Don't be afraid of deep alleys.
Good products don’t need marketing ads at all. They will become popular as soon as they are launched online.
This wave of popularity can be said to be entirely the result of the natural fermentation of product power.
However, the speed of the lap was so unexpected that they were not prepared at all.
“Let’s rent another set of servers for emergency expansion!”
He looked at the rising number of users in the background. If we don’t add more servers, it won’t be long before the server goes down.
The surge in the number of users means that the revenue this product can bring will also increase. This is definitely great news!
I turned around and found that everyone also looked excited, so I hit the railroad while it was hot.
"Everyone has seen that the market potential for new products is huge.
But winning the favor of users only shows that the product design is excellent, a Go AI, and the most important thing is the intelligent algorithm.
Today's world The AI Go Competition's online qualifiers are our main battlefield!"
The "World AI Go Competition" in Hu Yifei's mouth.
After AlphaGo came out of the circle, it is a world-class Go AI led by the Huaguo Chess Club and co-organized by the Fuso Chess Academy, the Southern Peninsula Chess Academy, the Yizhou (Wang Wang) Chess Academy, the Europa Go Association, and the Ocean Go Association. Contest.
Multi-national Go AIs from around the world will compete on the same stage to compete for the title of the world's strongest Go AI.
The game of Go is a high degree of human wisdom, and it also involves many fields of artificial intelligence.
Including heuristic game search, machine learning, knowledge base system, reasoning mechanism, fuzzy decision-making...
Go AI actually represents a high degree of algorithm integration, which is said to be the prototype of artificial intelligence It’s not an exaggeration.
Therefore, the Go game has become one of the forms to verify whether the artificial intelligence model is excellent or not.
In the past two years, many cutting-edge IT companies, including BAT, have made it an important research object.
Originally, Hu Yifei's plan was to develop the new "Star Formation" and then lead the team to win a place in this competition.
Although it is a bit unrealistic to win the championship, as long as it can stand out and reach the finals, "Cretaceous" will gain a certain degree of popularity!
In this era of Internet pigs flying everywhere, popularity is equal to market recognition, and the valuation of technology companies and market recognition are definitely highly correlated.
As long as we can introduce some risk capital and complete Series A, we will be able to easily overcome this liquidity crisis.
This is also a development model for the rapid rise of most technology companies.
It's just that the plan didn't change quickly, and the star array hadn't been successfully developed yet. Accidents and surprises came at the same time...
One made the company almost fall into catastrophe, and the other brought the company back to life miraculously!
The addition of Star Array V5 gave him higher expectations for this competition.
"Have the data been debugged? At this critical moment, no one can let me off the hook. We must ensure that the game process is foolproof!"
This World AI Go Competition will be held in two stages, with the preliminaries arranged to be held online on the event platform.
After the competition, the top eight selected will enter the finals offline at the Magic City Digital Exhibition Center.
And today... is the day when the qualifying rounds begin!
Looking at the time, it was still half an hour before the game officially started.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Hu, we have confirmed it repeatedly! Everything is running normally during the simulation!”
"Yeah!" Hu Yifei nodded.
Although the various numerical values of Star Array V5 are simply off the charts, surpassing their previous products by 88 blocks, even the technical staff in the company said it was incredible.
However, nowadays, the artificial intelligence track is advancing rapidly, and others are not standing still.
Those top manufacturers are not comparable to the Cretaceous in terms of investment and talent. No one knows what other trump cards they have prepared for today.
“Don’t expect too much, I will be satisfied if I can reach the top eight...”
Half an hour passed little by little while Hu Yifei was worried about gains and losses...
...
Penguin Headquarters, AILab (Artificial Intelligence Laboratory).
"Director Liu, all parameters of 'Jue Yi' have been debugged! All functions are normal!"
"Yes! Very good, our goal this time is to win the competition Champion! Got it?”
"Understood!" Programmers from major manufacturers all made final checks on the program again, as if they had been injected with blood.
Director Liu looked at his group of elite soldiers with satisfaction and was full of confidence in this competition!
“Jue Yi” is a Go AI developed with investment from Penguin AILab, and was the defending champion of last year’s Go AI competition.
With the support of its own Penguin Cloud, "Jueyi" has defeated more than 100 professional chess players such as Ke and Yang on the Penguin Wild Fox Go platform.
Just at the beginning of this year, it was selected by the Hua Guo Chess Club and officially became the dedicated AI for the training of the national Go team. It can be said that it has been in the limelight for a while.
In today's domestic Go AI circle, "Jueyi" is definitely the leader. In terms of technology, it surpasses the other two players of BAT by more than two blocks!
Not long ago, "Jue Yi" made a new technological breakthrough. In a simulated battle with the old version, it completed the upgrade to the new version with a record of 100 consecutive victories!
Because of this, Director Liu is quite confident at this time!
In his eyes, most Go AIs in China, including those in East Asia and Europe, are no longer able to pose a threat to them.
The only opponent left... is Alpha Dog!
Guge’s Go AI is like a big mountain pressing in front of all practitioners.
It doesn't even bother to participate in the so-called "World AI Go Competition", but no one in the industry can ignore its existence...
It is rarely seen in the world, but it has so far been , there are legends about it everywhere...
This dog has a kind of overlord attitude that cannot come out of the sky, and no one can compete with it.
Director Liu is ambitious and quite confident in the unique skills he has developed!
He has made up his mind to challenge AlphaGo when he wins the AI competition this time!
Only by defeating this dog can the "Excellent Art" truly know how to be at the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and the small!
"Director, take a look at this news."
While he was dreaming passionately about trampling the dog's head under his feet in the future, the assistant next to him suddenly came over with a pad and said.
Director Liu took the tablet, scrolled through the messages on it doubtfully, and then frowned slightly.
"Star Array? Is there such a Go software in China?"
"I checked it out and found that this software was produced by a small company called Cretaceous, but it was unknown before.
< br>This time, it suddenly became popular because of the heat of the battle between Kong Jiuduan and Li Shifo.
This is not the key. The key is what Kong Jiuduan said in the interview, which seemed to compare the star array with our unique "training" design level.
I'm afraid. It will have some negative impact on us..."
Director Liu looked at the interview video and felt a little dissatisfied.
Not long after "Jueyi" became the official training AI of the chess club, a nine-dan chess player from the chess club promoted another Go AI platform...
How much public relations fees are there?
Isn’t this a slap in their face?
It's not your fault that you want to be angry, but if you want to use our "unique skills" as a stepping stone, then you can't bear it!
He didn't believe that a third-rate product made by a third-rate company could surpass his own AI development team of elites from across the country in terms of design for training intelligence!
This Kong Jiuduan must be a 50-cent Party member!
Look at the most popular comments from netizens on the Internet...A Go AI that is particularly good at arguing?
It’s simply putting the cart before the horse and trying to please others!
What is the difference between this and those coquettish bitches who specialize in attracting people’s attention for traffic?
However, this dissatisfaction only lasted for a while. Seeing that the news about the "Star Array" was still rising, the keen-minded Director Liu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He operated the notebook in front of him and opened the entry list for this "World AI Go Competition".
After searching, I found the name "Star Formation" at the very bottom of the list!
“Ha!” Director Liu suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“Okay, this is not a bad thing. Someone is helping us increase our visibility for free, which is also a good thing!”
"Director Liu, what do you mean..." The assistant was a little confused.
"Ha! The rules of today's competition are that each opponent must have at least one match.
After rounds of elimination, the higher the winning rate, the greater the probability that the two sides will meet. High, and finally ranked by points.
< br>You said that if such a Go AI, which was touted by nine-dan professional players, did not even make it to the top eight, and was shaved off by our 'unrivaled skills'...
Is this news... just that? More topical? ”
Director Liu smiled meaningfully.
"This...I understand! What a wonderful move by the director!" The assistant's eyes lit up.
"In this way, the other party is completely making wedding dresses for us! As soon as netizens see that this is a silver pewter gun head, the reputation will immediately reverse!"
"Haha ! What I hate the most is It's a so-called technology company that doesn't focus on technology and spends all day thinking about some evil ways to raise its own value!
I just hope that this star formation will not be eliminated so quickly.
Otherwise, it would be too boring..."
Director Liu smiled slightly.
He could guess it with his toes. When the time comes, he will send a screenshot of the results of the match between the two sides and publish it online. What kind of god-level reversal will it be?
It’s Kong Jiuduan’s face... I’m afraid it might be a little painful...
“Director! The game has started and the system is assigning us opponents. ”
"Well! Who is our first opponent?" Director Liu took a sip of coffee very calmly.
“It’s the Star Formation!”
Director Liu was stunned for a moment, then immediately became happy.
What a coincidence? It’s not that enemies don’t meet!
"Haha! Okay! Let us see what posture this star formation uses to lose from the beginning to the end!"
10minuteslater……
【DEFEAT! 】
Looking at the gray words typed on the big screen, the entire laboratory was unusually quiet.
Big upset!
It only took ten minutes for their proud "unique skills" to be defeated by the "Star Formation"...
"This...how is this possible!" Director Liu looked confused.
I am the top seeded player in the championship!
So defeated?
Or did you lose to a glamorous bitch who was trying to please everyone?
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused by this slap in the face.
"Technical problem! It must be a technical problem! Quick! Start the second set of backup models immediately!"
Director Liu shouted as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"That's right! That parameter should be wrong! Change the model quickly!"
In the next seven battles, "Jueyi" finally performed at its "normal level" and won completely The results advance to the next round!
This finally made Director Liu’s little heart slowly calm down.
Yes, life! There are always a few surprises...
In the second round, just after winning three games, the familiar name appeared in front of everyone again...
The two sides faced off again, Director Liu's heart immediately lifted.
【DEFEAT! 】
However, an unacceptable incident once again appeared on the big screen.
Look at the somewhat dazzling "10 wins, 2 losses" behind "Excellent Art" on the list.
He finally couldn't help but explode!
"What the hell is going on? Ah!
Who can tell me how this AI called Star Array defeated us?"
No Man can answer his question.
Director Liu, who was a little crazy, no longer cared about the outcome of his own game. He opened the match list and stared at the Star Formation's game situation.
The battle between AI is extremely efficient, with a battle lasting as short as ten minutes and as long as half an hour.
Then Director Liu looked at the "Star Formation AI" that he had just heard about today, and defeated each well-known or unknown AI with a superb posture...
victory! victory! Still a victory!
Looking at the 100% winning rate, Director Liu went from crazy to shocked to numb...
Once is a coincidence, but three times? What about ten times?
He finally realized that this "Star Formation" may have become a hot topic because of more than just sensationalism...
After a whole day of competition and three rounds of competition, The final eight are announced.
"Xiao Ai Go" from the Southern Peninsula, "Gubisi" from Fuso, "Crazy Stone" from France, as well as "Jueyi", "Yi Xiaotian" and "Chess" from China "Elf" was successfully shortlisted for the finals!
Of course, there is also the "Star Formation" that emerged from nowhere, like a dark horse, firmly occupying the top of the winning rate list and the standings...
The qualifiers are over.
Although he occupied the second place in the standings and reached the finals, there was no trace of joy on Director Liu's face.
5:0!
Played against five games, lost all five games!
This is a despairing strength gap.
He never expected that the one who lost from the beginning to the end... would actually be himself!
He couldn’t understand even more, how could an unknown company develop such a powerful Go AI?
Shit luck? Or is the other party cheating?
But as expected, on tomorrow’s hot topic, the popularity of the name "Star Formation" will reach a new level...
And...it is very likely that they will still step on their "unique skills" "The steps on the head...
I originally thought that the championship was close at hand, but I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway!
Unfortunately...the background data of the competition is confidential...
"Download a star array for me, and everyone will work overtime! Start studying its chess moves immediately!"
Regardless of the fact that it was already time to get off work, Director Liu ordered through gritted teeth.
Although the competition models and product models may be slightly adjusted.
However, as long as we can judge the opponent's design ideas, we may find out the opponent's design loopholes before the finals, and then carry out targeted optimization of Jueyi's model...
The preliminaries are only the first round of the competition, and points will be awarded. First, that is only the group ranking of the qualifying rounds.
The winner of this competition will ultimately depend on the top eight finals in Shanghai!
Excellent art... there is still a chance!
Soon, the Xingzhen client was downloaded to the screen, and an employee quickly registered a new account with his or her own identity.
As soon as he opened the software, Director Liu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth...
Hmm! This opening scene... is indeed very charming...
"Despair mode... the tone is really not small, this should be the opponent's strongest game model... Connect the unique art to the port for me!
Everyone, please cheer me up. Each team will take notes and conduct the most detailed analysis of all the game data!
Tomorrow, I will see the complete analysis report on it! ”
Director Liu gritted his teeth and said.
Even if he stays up late tonight, he will dig out the secret of the opponent's victory over him!
The test started soon. In the first game, as expected, we lost again.
[You are sincere and cute because of your clumsiness, so although your level is really irritating, I can’t help but forgive you...]
Director Liu looked at the big screen He read the subtitles typed by the other party and twitched his lips.
But he said he could bear it.
“Next game!”
[Incredible! You were defeated twice using the same trick! 】
Director Liu’s eyes twitched.
“Continue!”
[Isn’t it good to lie down wherever you fall? 】
【I like your seriousness!】
【Well, your persistence and lack of adaptability let me know that you are the same kind. ]
[I didn’t understand why humans would call some of our kind artificially retarded, until I met you...]
[You and I perfectly confirm Darwin’s theory of evolution. The same applies to AI. 】
[Why can the rope be knotted when it is long, but your brain cannot?]
[I told myself to be patient. 】
[To be honest, I didn’t understand why parents who help their children do homework every day are driven crazy...]
"Pa!" The keyboard shattered on the floor.
The AI he had worked so hard to develop was so humiliated that Director Liu finally couldn't help but explode.
"Director! Don't get excited!"
"Hurry and hold the director!"
"Don't smash it, this screen is very expensive!"
"Hun Dan! Don't let me Do you know who designed these rubbish words~~" (End of Chapter)
