80: How many sound holes does our smart speaker have?

Look at that phrase, "The Art of a Steel Plate." It's been ten years, and people are still bringing it up online constantly, whether as a joke or to ridicule it. Isn't that memorable?

After the slogan "Chasing Dreams, Steel Like Jade," specially crafted for the second generation of the Kunpeng mobile phone, was released along with the rendered poster, netizens who had been silent for over a month began to surface again.

The five mobile phone manufacturers competing in July could be called a seismic event in the digital world. With a whole month of marketing, all the manufacturers were ultimately winners.

Everyone remembered the super-large screen from the Big God.

They also remembered Boss Jia releasing two PPT slides.

Meilan and Brand also made a name for themselves.

Now that this Red Star promotional poster is out, netizens know that a lively September is coming again.

Many Fruit fans are also looking forward to this month, anticipating the seventh-generation Fruit phone, the iPhone 6.

Having learned from the 4s incident, many knockoff manufacturers dare not copy the iPhone 6 in advance this time. What if Fruit releases another 5s?

"Hey, don't get me wrong, this time the Kunpeng mobile phone's slogan is definitely better than the Shine series. Listen to that Shine slogan, something like 'Let's do something big,' and then look at this 'Chasing Dreams, Steel Like Jade.' I'm super excited to see what kind of surprises the second generation of the Kunpeng mobile phone will bring."

"Surprises? What other surprises can Red Star bring? Aside from charging, it's just batteries. I'll take a blind guess: Chen Chen is definitely going to brag endlessly about batteries again this time."

"I don't care what the Kunpeng mobile phone looks like; I can't afford it anyway. I only care about whether the red star 3rd generation will have any major upgrades."

"Did you guys notice that the name of this Red Star launch event is quite interesting? Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre."

"The supreme master of the martial arts world, the Dragon Sabre commands the world, and none dare disobey. If the Heaven Sword does not appear, who can compete? Look at that, so domineering. Maybe Chen Chen is a fan of Jin Yong's martial arts novels."

"Haha, this reminds me of the one Xiaomi just released, 'In the world of martial arts, only speed cannot be broken.' These are all related to the martial arts world."

"You know, the current mobile phone circle really has that martial arts vibe now."

"I heard that Red Star is going to release a lot of products this time. A buddy of mine works at Red Star, and he said there will be at least 5 products."

"5? That many? Did you ask him what they are releasing?"

"I did, but he said it's confidential. Anyway, there will be surprises, and he told me to just wait."

"Did you guys notice that Company has also started playing with the internet? They released a power strip that looks almost the same as Red Star's, and it's even one yuan cheaper. It cracks me up."

"Company is just anxious. After seeing Red Star's power strip, I look at the old ones at home, and I find them completely intolerable. @Chen Chen, when are you going to release a 6-outlet power strip? This one is too small and can't plug in too many appliances."

"The most fun thing about Red Star's power strip is that it can connect to the internet and has a timer switch. Mom never has to worry about me forgetting to turn off the power when I go out again."

Chen Chen was browsing these netizen comments in his office with great interest. Discussion is a good thing; only with discussion can there be popularity.

This is just the first day of the teaser campaign, and there are already so many netizens discussing it. Once the marketing department starts constantly revealing specs and such, the discussion will likely be even greater.

【Current task completion reached 99%】

A notification in his mind startled Chen Chen. Ever since Cheng Wenfei joined Red Star last time, Xiao Ai had prompted the task progress once, but then there had been no movement. This 99% notification—could it be that his classmate xiao xing is already finished?

He called for Shen Rou and immediately rushed to the artificial intelligence laboratory that Cheng Wenfei was in charge of.

"Professor Cheng, is our little star finished?"

Seeing that it was Chen Chen, Cheng Wenfei put down the white speaker in his hand, stood up, and said:

"I was just about to send a message to Assistant Shen. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to already know."

"All aspects of little star are complete, but currently, the voice recognition rate is still relatively low. Especially when facing dialects and non-standard Mandarin, the recognition rate is only 60%. It still needs some time for sample collection and optimization."

Chen Chen excitedly took the little star speaker handed over by Cheng Wenfei. After waiting for two years, it had finally rolled off the production line.

For the past two years, apart from giving some rewards at the beginning, this system had been stuck here for the last year ever since the task of releasing this speaker was issued.

No response, no other tasks, and no rewards.

Chen Chen was looking forward to seeing what rewards the system would give after this smart speaker was released, or whether it would upgrade.

"It doesn't matter if the recognition rate is low. Let's launch it first. As it encounters more sample data, we can slowly optimize it. It's fine."

"Our classmate xiao xing developer platform has been ready for a long time. After the launch, we will let users and professional developers develop and nurture it together with us. With enough data, it should evolve very quickly."

Hearing Chen Chen say this, Cheng Wenfei shook his head almost imperceptibly.

This Mr. Chen was still thinking too simply.

If having many people were useful, the artificial intelligence fields in China and India would have long been first and second in the world.

Many people can provide enough data samples, but so much data needs to be retrieved and analyzed, and then the artificial intelligence needs to go through deep learning. It's not like having more conversations with Xiao Ai will automatically make it evolve on its own.

Mr. Chen was a bit wishful thinking.

"Hasn't our big data model been built yet?"

Chen Chen felt that this thing shouldn't be that difficult. It had been a year, and there was still no movement.

"The model is built, but where does the data come from?"

"We still need to organize and slice it ourselves, which is very time-consuming. I expect it will only truly start running next year."

"This model is developed based on CUDA, so it will require a lot of graphics card computing power. Mr. Chen needs to prepare in advance."

"Professor Cheng, rest assured about that. I have already talked with Old Huang from Nvidia, and a batch of the latest enterprise-grade graphics cards will arrive before the end of the year."

Cheng Wenfei thought for a moment and pulled Chen Chen into his small office, which left Chen Chen completely confused. Could there be some other variables?

"Mr. Chen, for this promotion, I suggest not over-emphasizing our intelligence. We should focus on smart home control and sound quality. I'm afraid that many users, after getting their hands on it, will find it's not as powerful as advertised, which will have a certain impact on our Brand, and besides..."

Sigh, Chen Chen thought it was something major. He already had plans for this in his mind. Don't brag too much; start with sound quality. Once users get it and find it has other functions, wouldn't that exceed their psychological expectations?

"I understand this point."

"Professor Cheng, rest assured, I have a plan. The core of little star is not artificial intelligence, but a home control hub. I can still distinguish between the primary and the secondary."

Seeing Chen Chen say this, Cheng Wenfei also nodded. He was just afraid that this young boss would get hot-headed and start talking about intelligence.

He knew exactly how much weight this thing he developed himself carried.

It could barely reach the level of the USA two years ago.

To put it plainly, it's just a semi-intelligent speaker, which is a completely different thing from fully realized artificial intelligence.

Seeing the two of them come out, Shen Rou came over and said to Chen Chen, "Mr. Chen, I just checked the mold opening data. Our speaker has a total of 9527 speaker holes."
