Get ready China, Kai-Fu Lee is back with a hot new startup that’s generating some serious AI buzz!
Lee’s new venture 01.AI (or “Zero One Dot AI” for us laypeople) has already reached unicorn status with a $1 billion valuation. Not bad for a company that’s only 7 months old!
The goal? To create China’s very own ChatGPT. You know, something like OpenAI but without all that pesky censorship getting in the way of good old-fashioned AI development!
Lee explains the motive simply: “Necessity is the mother of innovation, and there’s clearly a huge necessity in China.” We hear you, Kai-Fu! Chinese people need generative AI, too.
Unleashing 100-400 Billion Parameter AIs
01.AI‘s very first model Yi-34B is already topping the charts on Hugging Face. Eat your heart out, Meta and Google! Who needs 100 billion parameters when you’ve got the power of open source on your side?
With a crack team assembled from Big Tech giants, 01.AI is ready to churn out some big boy models packing a whopping 100-400 billion parameters. We can already imagine the lyrical sonnets and captivating novels these AIs will write!
Now, building super-powered AI does require oodles of cash. But with Lee’s mythical fundraising abilities, 01.AI is loaded with GPUs and ready to burn through VC money faster than a 16-year-old with their first credit card.
Rest assured, 01.AI definitely won’t hoard your data, track your every move, and sell your information to shady third parties. As Lee says, some things need to remain “proprietary”!
And don’t worry about those pesky US sanctions restricting Chinese access to AI chips. 01.AI is way ahead, stockpiling processors like the apocalypse is coming. Take that, unfair trade practices!
01. AI’s Legendary Ascent to the TOP AI ecosystem in no time
With Lee’s legendary status, we’re certain 01.AI will become China’s top AI ecosystem in no time. Just imagine all the amazing new apps and services Chinese developers will build! No more relying on those biased Western AIs.
So get pumped for some responsible, totally transparent AI development made in China. 01.AI is about to make generative AI great again!
