Robin Lee was "poured cold water" enthusiasm! Baidu allied with Huawei Kirin to release "Honghu" chip

7 month 3 The morning of , stay 2019 Baidu AI At the developer conference , Chairman and CEO After Robin Lee showed the latest features of Wandu in his opening speech , A spectator who rushed to the stage poured a bottle of mineral water on his head . Due to the suddenness of the incident , There was silence at the scene .

Robin Lee, who encountered an emergency, showed considerable restraint on the spot , After being splashed with water , I only said one word to the water splasher “What’s your problem？”

In the face of such a state of emergency , Robin Lee's calm and restrained performance also won applause , Robin Li also adjusted quickly. , And joked ： Development AI I will encounter such setbacks on my way .

And then , This event soon became today's Weibo 、 The focus of hot discussion in wechat group and major media . Baidu Robin Lee successfully made headlines . Many netizens have coined words 、 Make a joke about this .

however , There are also skeptics who believe , This event may be an event marketing directed and performed by Baidu . First , Normal people speak on stage , You'll be alert when you see someone coming up under the stage , Then I saw the other party open the mineral water , Will be extremely alert , Once the other party starts watering, he will quickly avoid , Basically, I won't bow my head and wait for a bottle of water to finish . secondly , The security personnel didn't play the first time . Another netizen said ,“ Robin Lee didn't even dodge when he was watered , Even cooperate with the head down , It's like a mother washing her child's hair ！”

For some questions on the Internet , Some netizens who support Robin Lee also think , At that time, Robin Lee was focusing on his speech , And the other side still wears “ certificates ”, It is easy to mistakenly think that the staff came up to deliver water . And from the video , After being watered, Robin Lee , Bowing your head is also a normal reaction of many people , Because lowering your head will make the water flow out along the shortest path , Clothes and trousers that can avoid more water on the body , And the other party also grabbed Robin Lee's hand , Prevented its avoidance , And when it is released , Robin Lee immediately retreated , It's not that there is no escape .

And afterwards , Weibo of suspected perpetrators @ Straight man on the tree It's also picked out . Judging from the information on its microblog , It should be from Yuncheng, Shanxi , In order to participate in this Baidu AI The meeting specially bought tickets from Shanxi , And splashing water on stage is also premeditated , Instead of improvising .

From the information available at present , Xinzhixun still prefers that this incident is only an accidental emergency , Baidu doesn't need to do this “ Event marketing ”, After all, it's negative , It does great harm to Robin Lee's image . And with Robin Lee's personality , Should not agree with such “ marketing ”.

Baidu releases far-field voice interaction AI chip “ swan ”

Although Baidu today AI At the developer conference , Robin Lee was splashed “ Cold water ”, But instead to Baidu AI The conference brought more attention . In today's Baidu AI At the conference , Baidu released an edge AI chip ——“ swan ”, This is a far-field voice interaction AI chip .

According to Baidu CTO Dr. Wang Haifeng introduced ,“ swan ” The chip uses HiFi4 Custom instruction set , Dual core DSP The core , The average power consumption is only 100mW. This chip is made according to the standard of vehicle specification level , It is mainly used in vehicle voice interaction 、 Smart home and other scenes .

Considering that Baidu and Geely are already in the smart network 、 Intelligent driving 、 Smart home 、 Strategic cooperation in e-commerce and other fields , It's not hard to guess , Honghu chip is expected to be deployed in the vehicle system of Geely .

obviously , After the speech interaction is greatly improved , The usage and convenience of artificial intelligence assistant will be greatly improved .

It is worth mentioning that , Last year Baidu was AI The developer conference released its first cloud AI chip “ kunlun ”, The chip was the most powerful in the industry at that time AI chip , Based on Samsung 14nm process , Have 260TOPS performance 、512GB/s bandwidth 、100 watts Power waste , Tens of thousands of small core components .

Reach deep cooperation with Huawei Kirin chip

Baidu released today “ swan ” Chip at the same time , Baidu CTO Dr. Wang Haifeng also worked with Huawei consumers BG Software President wangchenglu jointly announced at the Developer Conference , Baidu PaddlePaddle and HUAWEI Kirin chip to achieve deep cooperation , The Chinese people's own deep learning platform will run on the world's leading chip independently developed by the Chinese , Both sides will give full play to their respective soft 、 Hardware advantages , Go out of the way of Chinese intelligence .

As report goes , Baidu PaddlePaddle is China's first and the only open source in the country. 、 A fully functional platform for deep learning .

Wang Haifeng expressed , In the age of intelligence , Deep learning framework is the operating system in the intelligent era . Huawei Kirin is self-developed by Huawei 、 The world's leading end test AI Chip platform , Created end test AI A pioneer in the computing industry . Two big “ The light of domestic goods ” Teamed up with , Will be China AI Build the core “ Technical foundation ”, Meet China AI Fast 、 Sustainable development needs .

It is reported that , This cooperation , We will give full play to the soft power of oars and unicorns 、 Hardware advantages , To achieve a strong alliance .
