Why did AI suddenly make a breakthrough?

The principles of big data models are public, and the principles of algorithms all over the world are similar.

Why did OpenAi’s CHATGPT algorithm succeed?

Tough enough.

In order to save the cost of research algorithms, past research was either limited to the study of artificial intelligence in a specific field, or selected a small data model, practiced first, and then saw if it could be bigger.

As a result, OpenAi believes in miracles.

Directly on the data of more than 40 countries, 45 T of data (a T equals 1024G, 1G equals 1024M, 1M equals 1024 bytes, 2 bytes is a Chinese character) are poured in, and a large model of 17.5 billion parameters is built.

This idea is closer to the real human language environment, good is good, why don’t we do it?

The first need for equipment is a supercomputer, so NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang donated his first mini supercomputer to OpenAi for research, and these people have their own emotional points;

The second requires a lot of computing power, the essence of computing power is energy, and it costs money to use energy, so Microsoft, the big money lord father, directly invested 10 billion US dollars, who invested, Microsoft’s current CEO Nadella, this person’s technical judgment does not need to be doubted now, the problem is that Microsoft’s investment in OpenAi is 2020, who knows if this investment will be smashed?

After all, the opponents are Google, Facebook, Tesla, Apple, Amazon, and who would have thought that today’s winner would be Microsoft?

So it’s easy to do hindsight, and it’s hard to understand people beforehand.

Sometimes, life is really a big gamble, the winner takes all, and the loser is not without opportunity, that is, like Microsoft, dormant for a while.

After all, after the Internet era entered 2000, Microsoft has been regarded as a case of unsuccessful transformation, laughing for 10 years, in 2013 Microsoft’s previous president Ballmer left sadly, in the farewell speech, Ballmer once shed tears, loudly told employees “we will change the world again.”

10 years on, Microsoft did.
