Meta needed to productize AI quickly but the chief scientist was constantly tearing it down
In essence, the differences between Yang Likun and OpenAI, Google and other companies on the development path of artificial intelligence also reflect the contradictions and differences in the investment of technology giants in the field of AI.

For Meta, which invested heavily in the purchase of Gpus, the primary mission is to quickly launch commercial AI products in the short term, and after the failure of the meta-universe, the company's achievements in AI exploration are crucial to Meta's future.

Last month, when Zuckerberg vowed to turn Meta into "the world's leading artificial intelligence company," Meta lost nearly $200 billion in market value, reflecting investors' doubts about the return on its artificial intelligence investment.

But Yang, the chief scientist, is more concerned with exploratory research and long-term value than short-term revenue. By publicly declaring that there are major problems with the LLM route, he is also hitting his own company in the face - Meta is one of those companies that has invested heavily in the development of "dangerous LLMS."

The outside world has long speculated that there may be some subtle contradiction between Meta CEO Zuckerberg and Yang Likun, for example, at the end of last year, Zuckerberg separated the "AI productization" work from Yang Likun's hands and set up an independent "GenAI" team, directly dividing the power of Yang Likun's "academic school".Open up the "last kilometer" of scientific and technological achievements transformation, how does the Guangdong Science City "Gemini" continue to forge new quality productivity

Genetically modified bacteria can be turned into "smart living glue", which can not only realize the automatic repair of undersea oil pipelines, but also spontaneously find the location of bleeding and plug bleeding wounds in the field of medicine.

"Living glue" is a research achievement in the field of materials synthetic biology by Zhong Chao's team at the Institute of Synthetic Biology, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Despite the latest technology,

it has been unable to raise money. It was not until he settled in the Life Science Park of Guangming Science City that Zhong Chao saw the dawn of the transformation of results. At present, the market valuation of the enterprise established by him has exceeded 1 billion yuan.

On May 18, the Guangdong theme interview group of "High-quality Development Research Trip" came to the Bright Science City in Shenzhen.

In the first-line visit and research, the Southern financial media reporter found that with the landing of major scientific and technological innovation carriers such as a series of large scientific devices, important laboratory platforms and strategic scientific research institutions,

the innovative resources of the Bright Science City continue to accelerate. Focus on key industrial chain development demand layout strategic scientific and technological forces have begun to show their innovative explosive force.

At present, Guangdong has obvious advantages and achievements in promoting the construction of modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productivity. We will introduce and implement master plans for three science cities:

Guangming in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou, and Songshan Lake in Dongguan, and build a space pattern featuring "two points" and "two corridors" for science and innovation.

The two science cities "Gemini", mainly Guangming and Songshan Lake, are playing an important role in promoting, driving and demonstrating scientific and technological innovation in Guangdong.

Wei Qijia, director of the Industrial economy Research Office and researcher of the State Information Center's Economic Forecasting Department, said in an interview with the Southern Financial Media reporter that the two science cities focus on the key links of scientific and technological innovation,

strive to promote the transformation of scientific and technological innovation to industry, and have been exploring new models in accelerating the transformation of results. "The next step should further strengthen the platform role of the two science cities. Continue to carry out original innovation and basic research."

In the major science installation platform of synthetic biology in Guangming Life Science Park - Shenzhen Major Science and Technology Infrastructure for Synthetic biology research, the intelligent robot arm is demonstrating for the research team how to automatically place multiple biological reagents and samples accurately into the microplate.

At present, the standards of biological experiments and biological research are not uniform, and the experimental results made by different laboratories and different people are difficult to compare. "The big facility is to solve this problem by creating high-quality, standardized databases to build large-scale models of life." Yuan Hai said.

Standing outside, these cuboid shape automatic operation of the functional island is replacing people to complete artificial life "design - synthesis - testing - learning" and other processes, to achieve the rational design and synthesis of artificial life.

Yuan Hai, deputy director of the Institute of Synthesis of Shenzhen Advanced Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and general manager of major science and Technology infrastructure for synthetic biology research,

introduced that the synthetic biology facility is a major science and technology infrastructure with large-scale, automated and high-throughput synthetic biotechnology research, and is an intelligent "life casting factory".
