The outstanding performance of Sanqing's diagnostic AI has naturally affected the hearts of technology giants. They have entered the game one after another, triggering a new round of AI preparation and upgrade.
When chatgpt appeared before, there were constant rumors that domestic technology companies were developing similar projects. After the announcement of Sky Eye, these companies could no longer sit still.
Soon, many AI products were launched in China, including Alibaba, Byte, iFlytek, SenseTime, Wanwei and other companies, all of which launched their own new products, making people dazzled and overwhelmed.
This wave of AI products is booming, and new models are popping up every minute. Netizens do nothing all day long, just attending these AI summits.
While they were experiencing AI medical treatment, they were surfing the Internet intensively, discussing the experience of using various AIs and how AI is changing the world.
"Oh my God, as soon as Mr. Ma returned to China to supervise the war, Alibaba came up with the new AI 'Tongwen', and with a wave of his hand, all products in the series must be connected to AI."
"Will Taobao's customer service be all AI from now on? I'm still looking forward to it."
"Great, with AI, the mentally retarded Taobao customer service can finally speak human language."
"I hope it's better than Wen Xin's artificial retard."
"Stop arguing, everyone is just as bad. I've tested both of them, and they're not much better."
"Hey, I tested it and found that it has all the functions, but it's flashy and mediocre in use, making it look like a primary school student."
"Don't mention it. Artificial intelligence updates very quickly. A month ago, I was still complaining about Wenxin's poor quality. As a result, the quality of answers has improved a lot after iteration. It's impressive. I believe that as it continues to iterate, sooner or later it will be able to Catch up with chatgpt.”
"Okay, okay, once Alibaba's family is connected to AI, DingTalk will be able to automatically check in and write ppts automatically. It will really be ahead of Juhu in terms of landing, and it may actually overtake others in a roundabout way."
"No matter what, it is always a good thing to do it early. Even if it cannot be compared temporarily, AI can continue to improve and become bigger and stronger."
"Oh, how do they compare with Xiaomei?"
As soon as these words came out, netizens fell silent.
After a while, someone replied: "Brother, can 2D fight with 3D without bullying like this?"
"That's right, when discussing domestic AI in the future, don't include Sanqing. Xiaomei is Xiaomei, and the others are others. What's the point of a chatbot fighting a real person? That's the only one that exists."
"Hey, you said it would be great if Sanqing released other functions. Young people like me who are in great health have nothing wrong with them at all. It's not a problem to see Xiaomei every day. I wish I could talk to her about something else. of."
"Are you talking seriously?"
"Please, don't you have any parents or family? You can ask Xiaomei to see a doctor for them. It's very effective. You can tell what's wrong at a glance."
"My parents are more fashionable than me and have been using it for a long time. I don't need to teach them at all."
"Xiaomei's functions are too powerful. If it were allowed to be used, most of us would be unemployed."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei seems to only focus on the medical field and has no other ideas for the time being. As far as I know, a certain big boss in the industry approached Mr. Wei after the press conference to seek cooperation and wanted to introduce Xiaomei into his own products. When I came up, I was ruthlessly rejected by Mr. Wei."
"There is still such a thing, why did you refuse?"
"How many people will lose their jobs after AI becomes popular? The water is deep. It's obvious that Mr. Wei doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to treat diseases and save people with peace of mind."
"This is not something he thinks about. Don't you know what the capitalists think? Our company, for example, is really outrageous. It actually uses Xiaomei to identify whether employees are really sick or pretending to be sick. In the past, everyone The first time someone asked for sick leave, the company would approve it if the time was short, but now the leader has to use Xiaomei to remotely confirm the employee's health status before approving the leave."
"I'll go, your company is awesome, the boss is really smart."
"This is normal. Sick leave can only be taken when you are sick. It's wrong for you to pretend to be sick and take leave. In the past, the boss couldn't tell the difference. Now that he can, he will naturally make up for this loophole."
"What's this? Our company is very talented in human resources. We directly assess people's physical condition during the interview. Wow, I actually found a single person in maternity clothes for the interview. I refused decisively. The boss was very happy when he found out and said he would be interviewed later. All use AI."
"Is this legal? Can the interviewer agree?"
"If you want this job, you have to agree. Besides, it's reasonable for companies to require interviewees to be in good health."
"In the past, we had a physical examination when we joined the company. Even if we found out that we were pregnant, we couldn't break the contract. Now, now we have a physical examination during the interview. Why can't we break the contract if we haven't even been accepted? It's like using technology to defeat magic."
"Hiss, thousands of words condensed into one sentence, awesome!"
“When it comes to how to use tools, it depends on the capitalists, whether they are convinced or not.”
"I guess Sanqing didn't expect that companies would use it like this. I can only say that tools are good tools, but the final results can only depend on the people who use them."
“Isn’t there a less hellish way to use it?”
"Yes, we workers now use it to remotely monitor the health of the elderly at home. It's very useful. This is Xiaomei's real use."
"Think on the bright side. Companies use it to monitor employees, and you can also use it to check your girlfriend's health. If there is any infectious disease, hereditary disease, or heart disease, you can see it. Why don't you be removed from the hospital? Was the fire pit saved?”
】
"Hey, that's true. I think it can be used as a substitute for premarital examination in the future. I won't be afraid of the doctor hiding it from me anymore."
"Will this invade other people's privacy? Does it require other people's consent to do it?"
"That's for sure. You can't secretly take pictures while others are asleep."
"This won't work. You can't see the disease with your eyes closed. You have to stare at the camera and make fun of each other for 30 seconds. The other party must agree, otherwise you won't be able to reach this point."
"I can rest assured that."
"Upstairs, I smell a hint of gossip. How about it? You have a story and I have wine. Tell it to make the brothers happy."
".
. I just asked casually. "
"Outside, outside, are you interested in AI? Let me introduce our AI knowledge group. It only costs 699/person. It is currently the community with the highest threshold and the best service in AI-related fields. In addition to intensively updating GPT-related content, You can also receive a one-month personal account for free, and exchange experiences with 2,000+ elites from all walks of life on how to use AI to improve productivity. Many of these friends in the industry have already made real money using AI..."
"Those who sell courses are so stupid~"
Netizens cursed in unison.

Kunming City, Sanqing Headquarters.
Xiang Gaofei wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to Wei Kanghui: "Mr. Wei, in order to further meet the demand for servers, the number of GPUs we use has increased to 30,000. The current inventory has been used up, and it is expected to continue to be used. This number will exceed 50,000."
Wei Kang said in surprise: "The demand for GPUs is so big? I bought 30,000 units before, and I thought they were enough."
Xiang Gaofei said with a grimace: "There are still some calculation differences between this theory and actual use. Originally, if it was a chatbot like chatgpt, this number should be enough."
"However, I never expected that the AI would turn out to be a 3D real-life image like Xiaomei, so the computing power expenditure increased greatly, and she was too popular. If the number of times was not limited, the server would have crashed long ago."
"That's it," Wei Kang suddenly realized: "I really haven't considered this, then you can buy some more GPUs."
Xiang Gaofei shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "That profiteer, Lao Huang, is really too much. The market price of a100 has been speculated from 60,000 to 90,000. There is still a price but no market. The main reason is that AI is booming now and every company is... Launching our own AI creates a huge demand for GPUs, causing a100 to become a scarce commodity, and the price will naturally rise."
"Fortunately, we made preparations several years in advance and bought enough for the current demand. Otherwise, there would be no way to cope with it."
"GPUs are now out of stock everywhere on the market. Even if dealers have them, they are reluctant to sell them. I estimate that if this continues, the price will soon exceed 100,000."
Wei Kang couldn't help but frowned: "I remember when I bought it a few years ago, it was only fifty or sixty thousand. We bought more and the price was quite favorable. I didn't expect it to be like this now."
"This can't continue like this. Artificial intelligence is now a new trend. The demand for high-end graphics cards has skyrocketed, and prices will only become more expensive in the future."
He sighed, waved his hand and said: "If it doesn't work, we can only reduce the number of users' daily experiences, from three times to once. Anyway, this demand is not considered high frequency, and ordinary people will not come to Xiaomei every day. see a doctor."
Xiang Gao Fei nodded: "I understand, this should last a few more months. I heard that in order to meet the surge in demand from domestic customers, Lao Huang has placed a super urgent order, greatly advancing the delivery date, and compressing it to 2- Three months, and our orders are expected to be delivered in April or May.”
Wei Kang praised: "Okay. Let's do it like this. If it doesn't work, Pangu Research Institute also has 20,000 yuan, and we can temporarily move some for you to use."
The GPU of Pangu Research Institute is the higher-end h100, which is mainly used by Anmei. The application scenarios include drug development, biochemical simulation, deep learning, internal cloud services, etc.
Generally speaking, these are Sanqing's private information, and the existing computing power is sufficient. Even if there is additional redundancy, not much can be misappropriated.
If it doesn't work, we can only suffer as a user until the new graphics card arrives in the spring.
A100 is a dedicated GPU for data centers. There is currently no large-scale alternative on the market. To train large AI models, it is highly dependent on GPU chips. The lack of chips will result in insufficient computing power and the inability to handle huge models and data volumes.
The final result is that there is an IQ gap in AI.
AI with high IQ is a terrifying gold-swallowing beast, which can only continue to burn money on hardware procurement and model training.
Such a cost cannot be borne by any company. There are only a few domestic companies with capital reserves, strategic choices, and practical capabilities.
Openai can make chatgpt, and there is a huge amount of hard work behind it to provide financial and computing power support, and it has achieved results, and the funders are confident that they can continuously spend tens of billions of dollars.
Sanqing would not be able to bear such high costs if it were not supported by its high-profit main business of medical care.
In terms of hardware, the purchase cost of 10,000 A100 alone is as high as 800 million. This is just the ticket for general-purpose AI.
chatgpt spent at least 30,000 yuan a100 to achieve its current IQ.
As for the cost of model training, a complete AI big data model training costs more than 50 million. If the algorithm model is to be accurate enough, multiple rounds of model training must be carried out. After 10 times, the cost will be as high as 500 million.
In addition, large AI models also require a series of work such as data collection and manual annotation, which cost a lot of money.
Coupled with the later daily operations, model tuning, network bandwidth, electricity and other resource consumption, the figure will be astronomical.
Before and after, a high-intelligence general-purpose AI has an investment scale of tens of billions.
At present, only Sanqing in China has tens of thousands of a100/h100 chips. It invested huge sums of money in this area to create the monster Xiaomei.
Companies with cloud services such as Qiandu, Alibaba, and Penguin logically have admission to the AI track, but their business has been losing money, and most of the GPUs they use are mid- to low-end chips.
If you rush into battle, there will naturally be a gap in the IQ of the AI you create.
This is also the main reason why Qiandu’s Wenxin AI has a low IQ.
Chatgpt may seem like a simple chat robot, but it is a powerful display of AI computing power, large AI models and generative AI in the consumer market.
And Xiaomei, an ordinary leather-holstered dummy, is also the embodiment of Sanqing's miraculous achievements in the field of medical diagnosis after years of hard training, finally gaining access to the Ren and Du channels.
Starting from the first anti-cancer drug, Sanqing has invested heavily in AI pharmaceuticals. Coupled with the early deployment of the Longtu app and the development of monitoring equipment, it has accumulated massive medical data on patients.
We have the data and algorithms, and we have done the only large-scale manual annotation in China. After more than five times of big data model training, we finally bore fruitful results.
The so-called accumulation but little success is nothing more than that.
Wei Kang looked back at the past and looked at the footprints along the way. He could only sigh that he had not taken the wrong path. His long-term strategic layout and massive investment had finally paid off.
However, now that the software is available, the hardware must keep up.
Wei Kang watched Xiang Gao Fei leave and immediately called Lu Tingfeng.
"Lao Lu, come here, I have something to tell you."
When Lu Tingfeng hurried over, he couldn't help but smile.
"Lao Lu, why are you so anxious that you can't even breathe?"
Lu Tingfeng quickly squeezed out a smile: "Then when President Wei calls, how can I keep you waiting? Of course I have to rush over as quickly as possible."
"Don't be so anxious in the future, I can afford to wait." Wei Kang couldn't help but shook his head, first recounted the success of the diagnostic AI, and then asked.
"Lao Lu, what do you think about in vitro diagnostic equipment?"
"In vitro diagnosis?" Lu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment. He felt that his boss's thinking was a bit too fast, and he couldn't help but wonder about his boss's intentions.
Does the boss want to enter the in vitro diagnostic market? Then I have to give my boss a good talk.
He calmed down, organized his words, and said slowly: "Mr. broad."
"Currently, 80% of clinical diagnostic information comes from in vitro diagnostics, which is the most important tool and weapon in laboratory medicine."
"Domestic in vitro diagnostics are mainly concentrated in three major fields, biochemical diagnostic reagents, immunodiagnostic reagents, and hematological diagnosis. The first two together account for 60% of the market share."
"Our products include portable biochemical detectors, and fully automatic digital biochemical detectors have also been approved and are under development..."
Wei Kang interrupted him and said, "Wait for a moment on your fully automatic biochemistry machine. I have a new idea."
"By the way, you should have an impression of the phone booth, right?"
Lu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment again, and was a little at a loss by his boss's leaping thinking: "I have... some impression."
"Or ATM machine, maybe it's more appropriate. That's right. I was thinking that the hospital has a lot of in vitro diagnostic equipment, but there are only a few commonly used ones, which are nothing more than biochemistry, immunity, and blood tests."
Wei Kang pondered and said, getting more and more excited as he spoke: "So, is there a possibility to integrate all these detectors into a fully automatic device, and then make it look like a phone booth or an ATM machine?"
"Anyone can just walk in, do various tests, and get the test results automatically, which is very convenient."
Lu Tingfeng's eyes widened when he heard this. This was a scene he had never imagined.
