After watching the n operation, I deeply feel that the technology war it does not lose to the east big, it is hard to tolerate heaven.
Why? Look at their latest interim final rules for the spread of artificial intelligence, welding the world’s computing ceiling. They divide more than 200 countries or regions into three grades.
The higher the grade, the more AI gpus can be purchased each year from the United States and Canada. At the first level are the United States and its 18 traditional allies, which have no restrictions on buying n computing hardware. At the second level are the 140 countries with good relations with the US, such as India, Saudi Arabia and Mexico, which will receive up to 50,000 AI gpus between 2025 and the three-year 2027, that’s 16,000 a year.
The third level is hostile countries such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Todai, which are completely prohibited from importing any advanced AI chips from the US. To sum up, there are no restrictions on allied countries, limited restrictions on non-allied countries, and strict regulations on competing countries. ‘s hierarchical approach to controlling AI chip exports serves two main purposes.
The first is to block Todai’s access to all outside sources of advanced AI chips. Because before there are companies that import AI chips from the United States, and then in a second-hand way to sell to some of Todai. After grading, your own home is not enough, which also willing to sell to the east big, you say is not this truth? This second purpose, uh, is very sinister, and is purely a political plot. As everyone knows, artificial intelligence is the commanding height of the next round of Industrial Revolution, and countries that do not engage in artificial intelligence will certainly be eliminated.
And to do artificial intelligence, you can’t do it without the AI GPU, or computing power chip. However, the current international situation is a time of great competition. The rise of the east and the decline of the west are becoming more and more obvious. The east is on the rise, while the United States is in decline. In the past, no one believed that the United States would lose, but in the South China Sea confrontation in 2016, two aircraft carriers ran away without firing a shot, causing the United States to lose a large amount of points.
In the economic and Trade War in 2018, the United States lost another amount of points without winning, at the end of last year, the East Big Crazy Explosion, six generation machine, hidden bomb, drone, robot wolf, Robot Tiger, all some ns don’t have big killer, score off. So now people have less confidence in the United States, have doubts, are waiting and seeing, not sure the United States can laugh in the end. And what happens when that scepticism becomes a reality? Re-line, after all, since ancient times line correct is the most important way to maintain prosperity. During the Cold War, Europe, Japan and South Korea took sides with the ns, and then the ns won.
They also followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, and divided up the world market, so they had hundreds of holidays each year and good days of high pay. Now the international climate is shifting again. Countries have to hedge their bets, even if they don’t jump ship. For example, what was the mantra of the Japanese, Shinz? Abe and Kishida when they were in power? Something is happening on an island, that is, something is happening in Japan, something is happening in Japan, that is, something is happening in the us-japan Alliance, and we will not sit idly by.
After Ishiba Shigeru took office last year, what did the new government say? It didn’t like the idea that something was happening on an island, it didn’t shy away from its historical responsibilities, it opposed visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, and it attached great importance to relations with China, we hope to deepen all official and non-governmental exchanges between the two sides. This tiered control by the is tantamount to creating chips out of thin air to retain people. The first tier of unlimited supply is to tell our allies, since they’re already with me, they’re determined to follow through.
Brother, I will never mistreat you, aI chip, how much you want me to give you how much, other people do not have this treatment. As for the second tier, many of these countries, such as Higashiyamato, the newest member of the BRICS group, are no longer in a wait-and-see mode, but are clearly aligned with todai. Do you know what the Western media say about BRICS? Todai’s start-up group, an international organisation with both the will and the means to comprehensively challenge the G7’s dominance. What the needs to do is to limit the flow of AI chips into these countries. 16,000 AI chips a year is a drop in the bucket for an age that relies on large-scale computing as its infrastructure, n and Todai’s top tech companies consume nearly 10 times as many. Google 2024169,000 AI chips, Amazon 196,000, Meta 173,000 and Microsoft 485,000, bytedance 250,000, Tencent 220,000. 16,000 is not enough to fill the jaws of a technology company, let alone a country.
If you can’t buy enough AI chips, the industry will be held back and then fall behind. What can you do? Look for Laomei add buy, no problem, but Laomei is no advantage not to get up early Lord, you want to get outside the limit of things, always have to come up with something to exchange it. This final rule says that if countries at the second level can accept the political terms offered by the United States, then the quota can be increased to 100,000, at the same time, each of these countries can also buy 1,700 AI chips that are not included in the quota. As for the political conditions, the ns have the right to interpret them, and they can change them as they wish, it is possible, for example, not to join international organizations with Todai, not to import high-end products from Todai, not to buy telecommunications equipment from Todai.
The calculation of the United States is really vicious, AI computing chip is equivalent to the lifeblood of the countries, he took the lifeblood of the people, people can not listen to him? But the problem is not that Dongda can’t produce AI chips, but that it doesn’t have enough production capacity. In recent years, many clusters of domestic AI chips have landed in major cities. The 2023 started in October, huawei and iflytek built the world’s first rising wanka computing platform“Feixing-1” in Hefei, becoming the country’s first domestic computing platform capable of supporting the training of trillion-parameter models, it is the world’s first Vanka cluster platform outside of American technology.
In November, the China Mobile Intelligence Computing Center was put into operation in Harbin. The center has over 18,000 AI accelerator cards, with 100% of its AI chips made in China. In December, the Moore Thread KUAE Intelligence Computing Center was opened, which is the first large-scale computing cluster based on the domestic full-function GPU. It provides a full stack solution with software and hardware integration on the full-function GPU.
Can not make AI chip and AI chip production capacity is not the same thing, the former can only find ns to buy, the latter as long as the money enough, such as the scale of the industrial chain spread out, minutes can be solved. Do you know what it means now that the United States has restricted and cracked down on all countries in the world that are not its allies?
It means that the United States has given us all the markets of the 160 countries and regions in the non-n camp. As long as we solve the problem of chip production capacity, the United States will not say that it blocks our AI, even the world AI hegemony that companies such as Nvidia and Google have worked so hard to build will end up in the hands of these foolish politicians.
So Nvidia is worried. Its vice president of government affairs, Ned Finkle, says that extreme“National caps” could prompt countries to look for alternative technologies, accelerating the erosion of n technological leadership. Tell me, isn’t it outrageous that the U. S. could win a tech war with a seven-wound punch that couldn’t be dumber. Image from the Web
