360 founder Zhou Hongyi is on the hot search again!
On the evening of June 27, Zhou Hongyi posted the admission notice of Tsinghua University on his personal Weibo, saying, "I was finally admitted, and I hope that 360 Wisdom Brain will help me graduate successfully." According to the notice, Zhou Hongyi was admitted to the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University majoring in electronic information, and will pursue a part-time, directed employment doctoral degree student.
In this regard, some netizens ridiculed: "Do you obey the tutor to manage you?" "The first thing after school starts, install 360 on all Tsinghua computers." "You are recruiting, after graduation, the classmates will go to 360."
Is the PhD topic related to 360 Brain?
According to public information, Zhou Hongyi was born on October 4, 1970 in Zhumadian City, Henan Province, and his ancestral home is Hubei. In 1992, he graduated from the Department of Computer Science of the School of Telecommunications of Xi'an Jiaotong University with a bachelor's degree, and because of his excellent academic performance, he was sent to Xi'an Jiaotong University to study for a postgraduate degree in System Engineering, School of Management, and graduated from the master's degree in 1995.
That is to say, now Zhou Hongyi is 53 years old, but he still chooses to continue to study for a Ph.D. So, what is the department and major he studied this time?
According to the official website of Tsinghua University, the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University (hereinafter referred to as the Department of Computer Science) was established in 1958. After more than 60 years of unremitting efforts, it has developed into a computer department with strong comprehensive strength and great influence in the field of computer science in mainland China, and plays an important role in the development of China's computer industry and even the construction of the national economy. In 2022, in the evaluation ranking of computer disciplines of many universities with great influence in the world, Tsinghua University's computer disciplines are in the forefront: the UK's QS ranking ranks 15th in the world, the British Times ranks 16th in the world, and the US News ranking in the United States continues to rank 1st in the world...
It can be said that Zhou Hongyi is the most bullish computer system in China, and this is also very consistent with the positioning of 360 software manufacturers. In addition to posting the Tsinghua admission notice this time, Zhou Hongyi also highlighted 360 Wisdom Brain. The phrase "I hope 360 Wisdom Brain will help me graduate successfully" may also mean that Zhou Hongyi's research topic for this PhD may be related to 360 Wisdom Brain or Big Model.
It is understood that on June 13 this year, at the 360 intelligent brain large model application conference, 360 officially released the new AI product "360 intelligent brain large model".
Zhou Hongyi introduced that the R&D of 360 models has eight natural advantages, covering the entire training process. At the same time, the ten core capabilities of 360 Brain, such as generation and creation, multi-round dialogue, code ability, reading comprehension, logic and reasoning, and multi-modality, can cover all application scenarios of large models. Since March 29, 2023, 360 Brain has been iterated from 1.0 to version 4.0, and the application results have continued to land, refreshing the "China speed" of the large model.
Zhou Hongyi also said that the domestic large model has basically caught up with or approached the international advanced level, and previously said that there was a gap between the global advanced level for one or two years, and now this sentence is withdrawn.
In addition, 360 Smart Brain 4.0 has been officially connected to 360 full-end products, including search, browser, security guard, etc. Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said that 360 has passed the evaluation of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and has become the first credible AIGC large model in China.
In fact, when talking about how to fill in majors and volunteers, he also combined this problem with AI and large models. Zhou Hongyi said: "Some people asked me how to fill in the college entrance examination, in my opinion, a good major is more important than what university to go to. Some people also asked me what major will not be eliminated by artificial intelligence, I think the future development of AI will be people-oriented, large models are the greatest tool in human history, but also a tool for 'assisted driving', should become a good helper for people, will not completely replace people's work. ”
According to the Securities Times, most of the content recently released by Zhou Hongyi on Weibo is related to AI large models, and he personally makes every effort to "call" for 360 super brain!
For example, on June 7, Zhou Hongyi took advantage of the popularity of the college entrance examination and directly wrote a college entrance examination essay with 360 wisdom brain.
On June 1, he used 360 wisdom brains to help adults find a few reasons for Children's Day.
Previously, 360 was required to embrace artificial intelligence
Claim to be "one position ahead"
On April 21 this year, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, issued an internal letter, requiring every employee, product and business of 360 to fully embrace artificial intelligence, adapt to human-machine collaboration, and start product reshaping.
Zhou Hongyi said that China's development of big language models has three core elements: data acquisition and cleaning, artificial knowledge training and scenarios. This is a very high threshold for ordinary enterprises, but it is a unique advantage for search engine manufacturers such as 360.
In his opinion, this race 360 is one position ahead as soon as it is on the field, so now it is more necessary to mobilize resources in an all-round way to devote itself to it. On the specific route, 360 will continue to fully develop 360GPT on the one hand and build its own "engine"; On the other hand, expand the advantages of the scene and accelerate the landing process of "360 intelligent brain".
In the internal letter, Zhou Hongyi also shared his thoughts from different perspectives of talents, products and human-machine collaboration. Zhou Hongyi said that 360 will implement the "unveiling" system internally and recruit more colleagues to join the core research and development. "To meet the era of super artificial intelligence, we need more talent reserves, and we need wizards with a critical spirit and imagination."
In addition, Zhou Hongyi said that the big language model is definitely a new industrial revolution, directly benchmarking the invention of electricity and computers, and even more subversive, it has greatly improved productivity and production efficiency, and any APP, software, website and application is worth being reshaped by it. The deep combination of GPT and hundreds of industries will directly change the competition pattern of the industry, and enterprises that cannot catch this bus will be eliminated.
Therefore, he also asked all product managers and engineers of 360 to think about how to reshape their products in the era of artificial intelligence.
Finally, for the discussion that "people will lose their jobs because of GPT", Zhou Hongyi believes that 360 employees who are curious and can work collaboratively with GPT will not lose their jobs. "The only people who are likely to be eliminated in the future are those who will not use GPT correctly. So, I encourage all 360 employees to embrace GPT as a great tool. Programmers can use it to write code, and security experts use it to build knowledge bases and defend against APTs. Probably you can all get better performance. ”
Less than 3 months after the divorce, 360's share price fell by more than a third
In fact, in the case of the explosion of the concept of AI this year, 360's stock price has skyrocketed, but recently there has been a certain correction.
In April this year, Zhou Hongyi divorced his wife Hu Huan. On June 6, 360 (601360) announced that the actual controller Zhou Hongyi has completed the transfer of a total of 447 million shares (about 6.25% of the company's total shares) held by him to Hu Huan, and the above-mentioned share transfer has completed the transfer registration procedures at the Shanghai branch of China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation and obtained the "Transfer Registration Confirmation" issued by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation.
After Zhou Hongyi's divorce, 360's stock price fell all the way, from the highest price of 20.85 yuan per share before the divorce was announced on April 4 to 13.13 yuan at the close of trading on June 27, down more than a third, and the market value shrank by more than 50 billion yuan.
And his "breakup fee" to his ex-wife Hu Huan shrank from 8.967 billion yuan to 5.869 billion yuan, shrinking by more than 3 billion.
