Robin Li talked about why Baidu makes Kunlun chips: because it is too expensive to buy other people's chips when doing search.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Xiao Zhan cut, grass Luo Yuzi's clue delivery! CTOnews.com March 19, the 23rd annual meeting of the 2023 Abuli China Entrepreneur Forum will be held from March 17 to 19. Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, attended and delivered a speech.

Li Yanhong said that in the past three years, he often stayed at home all day reading, thinking more about the "driving force of growth." He said that the three industrial revolutions have brought exponential growth to the human economy, but he thinks it is more appropriate to call it a "scientific and technological revolution." And where is the fourth scientific and technological revolution? He believes that it is driven by innovation.

So where does innovation come from? Li Yanhong believes that innovation is inspired and promoted by "feedback". Li Yanhong gives two examples.

Li Yanhong said that one is the Kunlun chip. Kunlun chip is now particularly suitable for large models to do reasoning, and will also be suitable for training in the future. Baidu has also done this for more than a decade. The reason why it can be used in today's large model reasoning, is because "there is feedback, there is application". When we were doing search, it was too expensive to buy someone else's chip. For $10,000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about RMB 68900), we did it ourselves, so we forced ourselves to do it and made the Kunlun chip. today, it can respond to 1 trillion deep semantic matching and logic every day.

Another is the self-driving operation service brand radish fast run, Li Yanhong said, Baidu desperately to expand the scale of self-driving, in fact, is also for feedback. "only when there are enough individual quantities, can you encounter technical problems that others cannot encounter, and only when you encounter these problems can you solve them, and solving these problems will lead to innovation."
