Zhou Yan has been debugging his 'intelligent' model for several days. Sometimes when he really gets into it, he realizes that a long time has passed before he knew it. In addition, he needs to constantly consult some literature to improve the algorithm model, which can be said to have cost a lot of money. energy.
The change was immediate. At least in terms of answering some popular science content, 101 has become proficient in using search engines and the local content library preset by Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan is quite satisfied.
The large language model of later generations is actually unsupervised and autonomous training, but the training model algorithm required is too advanced. At his current level, he can only imitate a cat and learn a superficial lesson, so Zhou Yan temporarily adopted another idea and learned A future dialogue model called cloude carries out artificial supervision, presetting, and fine-tuning.
In other words, since this 'mentally retarded' model cannot give correct answers and can only search for ready-made ones, Zhou Yan can add additional answers and give standard answers to some preset questions. Answer.
It is similar to cheating on an exam, but the intelligent model is a black box to the user. The user does not know whether the intelligent model is copying answers or writing them seriously. This level of 'concealment' also belongs to the 'smart' nature of the intelligent model to a certain extent. A sort of.
Of course, one person's power is definitely limited, so Zhou Yan did not focus on the preset database. The optimization of the algorithm model was still the top priority.
Zhou Yan closed the computer, and there was a black notebook next to him. The notebook recorded relevant literature indexes in the field of AI intelligent model research at home and abroad. It is one of the results of the past few days, and it is also the part that Zhou Yan will focus on next. He will Find the key to the future in this bibliographic index.
"So tired."
Zhou Yan stretched and murmured.
Doing academic work is a very difficult task, let alone developing an epoch-making product.
However, although Zhou Yan was tired, he still enjoyed it.
"Junior, your milk tea."
Of course, the bar in the reading room doesn't only have coffee. The senior student from Yansan also brought Zhou Yan a cup of milk tea at this time.
"Thank you." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Brother, are you developing some software? It looks very powerful." The senior sister has been paying attention to Zhou Yan, the student who came to read the code in the reading room, and asked curiously.
"Well, I have to finish the programming homework assigned by the teacher quickly." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"That's right." The senior sister nodded. There are many students who come to the library to do homework. The Information and Engineering Building is next to the library. The computer major students are obviously the majority of this group. The senior sister is obviously not surprised. Yes, but Zhou Yan's self-discipline still impressed her.
And he is a relatively handsome boy.
However, the senior sister was obviously not a very outgoing girl. She had a brief exchange with Zhou Yan and then returned to the bar.
Zhou Yan continued to read the literature for a while, and the phone rang at this time.
After receiving the call, Zhou Yan frowned, packed his things and quickly left the reading room.
"Will he come again tomorrow?"
Liu Siyu watched Zhou Yan leave the reading room and gurgled secretly.
In fact, she asks herself this unanswered question every day, and she also looks forward to seeing this junior coder again the next day.
...
Zhulang Technology,
When Zhou Yan came back, Zhang Long and Gu Yuanzhong were already waiting. Zhang Long's expression was calm, but Gu Yuanzhong was very anxious.
And Zhou Yan, who had always felt that Penguin didn't do anything decent these days, heard bad news the next moment he saw the two of them.
"What happened?" Zhou Yan asked.
Zhang Long said in a deep voice: "It took Penguin five days to complete the revision and remake of QQ on the mobile terminal."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, "How is that possible?"
It takes five days to remake a mobile version. How can it be so fast?
He always felt that everything was calm these days. Even though the scolding war on Wechat and QQ on the Internet has never stopped, the momentum and the movement of Penguin were indeed much smaller than those during the 3Q war. Zhou Yan also thought it was Penguin restrained.
Emotions are a big move in holding back.
Zhou Yan hasn't used QQ on his mobile phone for a while. When he opened QQ on his mobile phone, a pop-up window immediately popped up.
[Download the new version and get 20q coins. 】
Simple and crude propaganda.
At this time, 1q coins are equivalent to 1 yuan. Of course, for Penguin, it is a virtual currency that can be issued at will. However, as long as you download it, you will get 20q coins. Zhou Yan has never found Penguin to be so generous.
He quickly clicked the link to download and install the new version of Penguin. After restarting, Zhou Yan saw a completely different chat interface from the previous QQ.
With a light blue gradient tone and a soft white chat window, Zhou Yan felt as if he had returned to the future when he saw this QQ.
Messages, contacts, spaces.
Based on the original two functions, Penguin has indeed launched the space function.
There was a sense of urgency in his heart, and he opened a chat window at will. Sure enough, the previous complicated information was gone, and the font size and color perfectly fit the mobile phone window. It was even more delicate and trendy than WeChat's chat interface.
Zhou Yan opened the space again, with the same functions as later generations, but it was obvious that Penguin had put enough effort into the rendering. Zhou Yan even felt that this kind of rendering was even better than that done by QQ in later generations.
It's like this when it comes up.
Zhou Yan was speechless.
He had thought that Penguin would speed up the development of QQ that was truly adapted to the mobile terminal. Unexpectedly, in the past five days, mobile QQ had undergone a huge change. Compared with before, it was like heaven and earth. Although I don’t want to brag, But Zhou Yan has to admit that the current QQ is even more powerful than the later QQ that is full of various miscellaneous functions.
So it’s not that Penguin couldn’t do it well, it’s just that he didn’t have the intention to do it well before.
Under pressure from Zhulang, 360, and Alibaba, Penguin gave the most direct and efficient response.
Zhou Yan had to admit that for a company with a market value of over 100 billion, someone might have developed a version in advance and deliberately hid it from being revealed.
At this time, Zhou Yan noticed the plus sign above the message bar, and a bad premonition came to his mind. Zhou Yan clicked on the plus sign, and found that the scan function was clearly there, and there was also a shake function. Shake, receive and pay... It can be said that Penguin has also made use of all the special functions of WeChat this time.
Zhou Yan was a little speechless: "The copying was really fair and aboveboard."
"How about Zhou Yan, how do you feel when you see this?" Zhang Long asked with a smile.
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment and said one word: "Absolutely!"
Well, in order to deal with a software that has not even reached 100 million users, Penguin directly came up and launched a big move. How can it fight? If there is no fight, Zhou Yan even has the urge to give up the instant messaging market immediately, but this impulse It lasted only a second before he calmed down.
"I say you two, let's think about what to do. If this continues, our WeChat will really have no way to survive." Gu Yuanzhong said with some urgency, "This time it is not a problem that can be solved by finding someone to stand up for."
"Actually, there's no need to worry. Penguin develops its QQ, and we develop our WeChat, so we don't mess with the river." Zhou Yan touched his chin and said.
"Is it possible?" Gu Yuanzhong asked, his tone seemed very urgent, and he obviously didn't believe Zhou Yan's words.
"It is possible to stabilize the circle of friends. Unless QQ abandons its previous ideas and takes the direction of socializing with strangers, it will give WeChat a market," Zhang Long said.
"How about we remove Penguin's scanning function from QQ's shelves?" Gu Yuanzhong asked at this time.
"How long was the contract signed at that time?" Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Long.
"One year." Zhang Long said.
"How much is the liquidated damages?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Ten times." Zhang Long said.
The one-year contract signed at that time was 10 million, ten times that is 100 million. Unless Zhulang pays 100 million in liquidated damages, Penguin can only continue to use the patent of Scanner.
"Then there's no other way." Zhou Yan said helplessly.
At that time, I didn’t know what I was thinking about when Penguin won the patent for scanning. Oh, it was Zhang Long.
In order to poach Zhang Long, Zhou Yan agreed to authorize Penguin to scan the relevant patents.
This is the main cause of the problem.
Now it is naturally impossible to pay a liquidated damages of 100 million to remove the scanning function of Penguin.
Not to mention whether Zhulang can take it out, even if Zhulang can take it out, given the penguin's urinary properties, the bones in his hand probably won't be spit out easily.
Gu Yuanzhong breathed heavily. He knew that if the WeChat project was finished, he would have no way out.
At that time, choosing to stay in Hongcheng and Zhulang to engage in WeChat technology was equivalent to putting the chips on the boat. If the boat capsized, he would lose nothing. There was no way he could return to the company in such a dignified manner. That position would go to someone else. How could it be let out of his hands?
So now Gu Yuanzhong can be said to be more anxious than anyone else. Now seeing Zhang Long's careless writing and Zhou Yan's helpless look, Gu Yuanzhong feels like he's on a pirate ship, as if his family doesn't pay attention to WeChat at all. He was the one who stepped in and took WeChat more seriously than anyone else.
Gu Yuanzhong gritted his teeth and said at this time: "We will also issue virtual currency to attract users."
"It's not necessary. Those who like to use WeChat should still use WeChat. Those who like to use Penguin's WeChat can't keep it. Those who like two can use both. In the current situation, I think we should not act too rashly, lest Penguin make any response. Exciting reaction." Zhou Yan said.
Gu Yuanzhong was a little anxious: "Then just watch Penguin's mobile QQ grow bigger?"
Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Long, "Brother Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Long smiled: "Actually, Zhou Yan is right. We should not act rashly in this situation, but it does not mean that we can't do anything."
He looked at Gu Yuanzhong: "Yuanzhong, you can contact the headquarters and spread the word that 360 is going to do instant messaging on the web."
"Is this okay? Pony is not a fool." Gu Yuanzhong said angrily.
"Just attract some attention. In fact, the reason why Penguin is so eager to make this QQ now is because our WeChat puts pressure on it. However, the monetization channel for the mobile terminal is still unclear. Penguin cannot completely focus on the mobile terminal. Above, the web-side instant messaging is still regarded as the basic base, and 360 is the company that Penguin thinks is best at instant messaging. After all, even if you only crawled 80 million user data, if you use it well, it will also be a blow to Penguin's market. Challenge." Zhang Long said with a smile.
Gu Yuanzhong nodded: "Then as a way, I will report it to the headquarters. What about Ali?"
WeChat Technology is now jointly owned by Zhulang, 360, and Alibaba. Gu Yuanzhong also hopes that Alibaba can contribute.
"As for Alibaba, I do have an idea for cooperation. If used well, it will be very helpful for the fission of our WeChat users."
At this time, Zhou Yan touched his chin and said.
"What's the idea?"
"This move is a bit damaging." Zhou Yan whispered.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Gu Yuanzhong, who doesn't care about taking damage or not, urged.
Zhang Long was also a little curious.
"Have you ever heard of bargaining?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile.
In fact, he didn't want to use this trick so soon, but now that the Penguin offensive is so powerful, if he doesn't come up with something useful, it may really capsize.
By then all the hard work and thought put into it will all be in vain.
"Bargain?" Gu Yuanzhong was stunned.
Zhang Long thought for a while at this time, "Zhou Yan, you mean, let's hold a product bargaining promotion event with Alibaba?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "That's understandable."
"How do you attract users through bargaining? No, how do you bargain online?" Gu Yuanzhong was a little confused.
"If you click through our WeChat account, you can get a certain discount on the price?" Zhang Long expressed his opinion.
"This... it seems to be possible." Gu Yuanzhong nodded: "But doesn't the bargaining link become a link for our WeChat to help him attract traffic to Ali? By then, users who click on the bargaining link will go to Taobao. , it seems that there is no way to divert traffic to us, unless Alibaba engages in a bargaining activity for registering on WeChat. The question is, will Alibaba pay a big price to engage in such an activity?"
Gu Yuanzhong saw things quite clearly, but he still couldn't figure out how he could compete with Penguin just by relying on this kind of bargaining activity.
Zhou Yan smiled: "Of course it can't be a simple bargain,"
Zhang Long thought for a while and said to Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, you just mentioned user fission. I understand a little bit. What do you mean, is that users can invite other users to help them negotiate prices?"
"That's right." Zhou Yan said with a smile: "That's what I had in mind. If you invite one user to make a cut, if you invite two users, you will make another cut. And if we invite users to bargain, we can buy a product at a low price. Or just get it for free, does that mean that this user will bring his relatives and friends together to bargain together? As long as we maintain this activity, no matter how attractive QQ is, it won’t be possible to bargain on QQ, or click on QQ The link can only jump to WeChat to bargain, so can the user stickiness be maintained forever, and at the same time, the fission can be achieved by spreading the word from ten to ten? As for the cost, bargaining definitely has a success rate, and one cut does not necessarily mean that it will be cut. Success, you understand.”
The idea of bargaining is not difficult to understand, and after understanding it, Gu Yuanzhong's face became strange: "This is... a bad move."
"What a bad move." Zhou Yan said scornfully: "What we call it is to build the plank road in the open, to cover up Chencang, 360 in the open, to attract the penguin's attention. Let's work with Ali in the dark, one in the dark and the other in the dark, and this boat can't be capsized no matter what. "
Gu Yuanzhong looked at Zhou Yan for a long time, finally took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's shameless, but I like it."
