Blue Power E5 owners take stock of word-of-mouth and analyze the many advantages of Blue Power E5

As the new year approached, my friends all welcomed new cars in the new year, and what was striking was that both relatives and friends were driving brand new cars. Looking for information online, I found that the popularity of this car in the market was obvious, and it even ranked in the top five of the 10-200,000 hybrid sales Weekly Ranking for two consecutive weeks in January. This aroused my curiosity, and I was eager to know why so many people chose the blue electric E5 without hesitation when buying a car. Some people have paid attention to other plug-in hybrids in the same class, and some have considered traditional fuels, but in the end they all jumped into the blue electric E5. Faced with this phenomenon, I decided to have a deeper conversation and explore why they love the blue electric E5 so much.

As the New Year approaches, many friends are happily shopping for new cars, and the Blue Electric E5 seems to be one of the high-profile choices. This car has been at the top of the 10-200,000 hybrid sales weekly list for two weeks, and the market performance has attracted widespread attention. Through in-depth communication with the first-time buyers of this batch of Blue Electric E5, we found that they chose this car for some reasons.

First of all, these car owners generally pursue a plug-in hybrid to achieve a variety of travel modes with dual modes of electricity and oil, and expect to enjoy a more fuel-efficient and economical driving experience. When inspecting other plug-ins in the same level, they have discovered the uniqueness of the Blue Electric E5. For example, the high price of the flagship DM-i 110KM of the 2023 champion version put them off, and the limited-time snap-up price of 99,800 yuan of the Blue Electric E5 became their focus.

For the limited-time snap-up preferential policies of the Blue Electric E5, car owners reported high enthusiasm, especially the limited-time snap-up price of the Enjoy type is only 99,800 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan cheaper than the Auchan Z6 iDD. Behind this preferential policy, the Freddy power system equipped with the Blue Electric E5 is recognized as mature and reliable, providing confidence for car buyers.

Owners agree that in the plug-in market, the purchase price of the Blue Electric E5 is 3-40,000 yuan cheaper than other entry-level plug-ins, which can save up to 60,000 yuan compared with the mainstream plug-in, bringing them real benefits. As the only plug-in hybrid below 100,000 yuan, the Blue Electric E5 is still in the medium category, with a more spacious body size and a longer wheelbase. In addition, owners are satisfied with the 7-seat option provided by the Blue Electric E5, which provides greater convenience for daily use.

Some car owners also shared the application of the blue electric E5 in weddings. Due to the 7-seat layout, it is convenient to transfer relatives and friends, and the second and third rows of seats can be stowed away to form a spacious trunk space, which successfully solves the problem of carrying wedding gifts. The practicality and economy of this series make this group of car owners agree that choosing the blue electric E5 is a rational and wise decision.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and many friends around me are choosing the way to welcome the New Year, and many of them plan to buy a new car. It is striking that two friends around me have chosen the Blue Electric E5, and through online inquiry, this car has ranked among the top five in the sales list of 10-200,000 yuan hybrids for two consecutive weeks. What is more striking is that these new blue electric E5 owners were originally interested in buying other plug-in hybrids of the same level, and even considered traditional fuel, but after fully understanding the blue electric E5, they changed their minds and finally decided to become the owners of the blue electric E5. Such a high conversion rate is truly amazing. Through in-depth exchanges, I heard the reasons why these owners chose the blue electric E5.

These first-time buyers of the Blue Electric E5 have a common philosophy, that is, they want to own a plug-in hybrid, pursue a variety of transportation methods that can be electric and fuel-efficient, and enjoy the convenience of more fuel-efficient and cheaper than traditional gasoline vehicles. Before choosing the Blue Electric E5, these owners actually considered many plug-in hybrids of the same level. For example, one owner considered Song Plus-dmi, Changan Auchan Z6 iDD and other models before purchasing the car, but chose to give up because of budget overruns. After all, for the 2023 champion version DM-i 110KM flagship model, the guide price reaches 159,800 yuan, even with the end point 5000 yuan discount, the actual naked car price is as high as 154,800 yuan, which makes many owners feel that the budget is seriously overrun. However, later the owner accidentally saw the 99,800 yuan advertisement of the blue electric E5, and was immediately attracted.

Blue Power E5 just caught up with the great value promotion activities, opened the "new" Chinese New Year activities, in the form of gratitude to give back to users and meet the needs of consumers for Chinese New Year car purchases, launched a policy of limited-time snap-up and continued price reduction. This activity will last until February 29, 2024, of which the limited-time snap-up price of the Enjoy type is only 99,800 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan less than the Auchan Z6 iDD. More importantly, Blue Power E5 is equipped with the same Freddy power of many BYD star models, and the quality is mature and reliable.

Many car owners told me that in the entire plug-in hybrid market, the purchase price of the blue electric E5 is 3-40,000 yuan cheaper than other entry-level plug-in hybrids, and even up to 60,000 yuan cheaper than the mainstream plug-in hybrids, which makes car owners feel real benefits from the perspective of car purchase budget. And the blue electric E5 has become the only plug-in hybrid within 100,000 yuan, and it is still medium-sized. It is larger than the mainstream plug-in hybrid of the same level in terms of body size and has a longer wheelbase. The blue electric E5 not only has more space, but also provides a choice of 7 seats, which provides great convenience for daily cars. As one of the car owners said, there are elderly people and children at home, and a seven-seater car can fit just enough, so there is no need for two cars to travel, saving the cost of one car.

There is also a car owner, the spacious space of the Blue Electric E5 has become a right-hand assistant for weddings. First of all, the 7 seats are convenient for picking up and dropping off relatives and friends. In addition, the second and third rows of seats of the Blue Electric E5 can be stowed away, forming a spacious trunk space with a depth of 1860mm. The owner carried the wine gift box one by one into the car, solving all the problems at one time.

Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective, the product power of the Blue Electric E5 is indeed very outstanding. Not only does it have the support of a mature and reliable Freddy power system, but also has a spacious space and a 7-seat layout, which has been able to meet the daily needs of most consumers. According to the latest 10-200,000 yuan hybrid sales list released from January 8th to 14th, the Blue Electric E5 ranks in the top 5 position, which shows that many consumers have favored the Blue Electric E5 when choosing a new car. After all, the eyes of the masses are sharp. If you also plan to buy a new car during the Chinese New Year, you may wish to take advantage of the discount to continue as soon as possible to the nearest store to experience it for yourself. I believe that with the endorsement of the Cyrus Group and the comprehensive strength of the Blue Electric E5 itself, this car will not disappoint you.

With the double saving advantage of car purchase and car use, Blue Electric E5 provides an ideal solution for family travel. Not only is it competitive in price, but it also meets the various needs of families through multiple configurations. Compared with the same level of plug-in and traditional fuel, Blue Electric E5 shows greater advantages in performance and comprehensive performance. At the same time, the quality assurance provided by Cyrus Group also provides more confidence for car buyers. During the promotion period, choosing Blue Electric E5 is a wise and economical decision.

The world’s first quantum ＂compass＂ has come out, and future navigation is expected to rely on no satellites

　　Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, November 12 (Reporter **) According to the official website of the British Imperial College of Technology, researchers at the school and M Squared have joined hands to develop the world’s first quantum accelerometer for navigation. This quantum "compass" is an anti-interference navigation device that does not rely on global positioning satellites (GPS) and can determine the exact location of any place on earth.

　　While most navigation today relies on global satellite positioning systems, including GPS, that send and receive signals from satellites orbiting the Earth, the new quantum accelerometer is a stand-alone system that does not rely on any external signals. This is especially important because satellite signals can be blocked, intercepted, or even sabotaged or attacked, making accurate navigation impossible.

　　Accelerometers measure changes in the speed of an object over time, and use this change and the object’s starting point to calculate the object’s new location. While accelerometers are found in devices such as mobile phones and laptops, they must be recalibrated frequently and, for navigation, can only work continuously for a few hours at a time.

　　The team demonstrated the mobile, commercially available quantum accelerometer at the UK’s National Quantum Technology Showcase. It works by measuring the movements of ultracold atoms at extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero, where they behave in "quantum" ways, like matter and waves. "When atoms are ultracold, we have to use quantum mechanics to describe how they move, which allows us to build devices such as atomic interferometers," said Dr. Joseph Cote, of Imperial College’s Cold Matter Centre.

　　To make atoms cold enough to detect their properties, powerful lasers that can be precisely controlled are needed. M Squared has spent three years developing a universal laser system for cold atom sensors that features high power, low noise and frequency tunability to cool atoms and provide an optical scale for acceleration measurements.

　　The researchers point out that the new quantum "compass" is designed to navigate large vehicles, ships, etc., but it can also be used for basic scientific research such as finding dark energy and attractive force waves.

　　In 2013, quantum research was identified as a priority area by the UK government, with a focus on military technology. Since then, through the UK National Quantum Technology Programme, the UK government has invested ￡270 million in the field over five years.

　　Editor-in-Chief Circle

　　Quantum physics has overturned all kinds of common sense in the macroscopic world, and particles with wave-particle duality seem so erratic and mysterious. In fact, many technologies are based on quantum physics, but ordinary people are ignorant. Now, quantum accelerometers based on quantum physics have come out, which do not rely on GPS, and can achieve precise positioning and precise navigation on their own. More than 100 years after the advent of quantum physics, various applications based on quantum technology are also coming to people. Using quantum properties, we may be able to modify and upgrade more devices that are currently widely used, making them simpler and more accurate. Has the era of commercial application of quantum technology begun?

The movie ＂Rage＂ turned on, Andy Lau Nicholas Tse appeared on the set


1905 movie network news The action crime film was officially launched on October 17, and Dr. Yang Shoucheng, chairperson of Emperor Group, attended the event in person. The film’s luxury main creative lineup was exposed for the first time, and it was produced, directed, and directed by the action director. Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse starred, starred, and were specially invited to act as cinematographers. In addition, a number of powerful actors such as Lin Qiunan and Lin Qiunan were also assembled.At the start-up scene, Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse distributed "flame red envelopes" to the crew, wishing the shooting a smooth success. During the interview session, the main creators also shared a lot about the shooting preparation, cooperation experience, and character characteristics.



Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse’s "Stranger Brothers" meet again

"Get angry" on the boot scene and play with video elements


The film "Rage" is led by two powerful actors, Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse. This is the second collaboration between the two after 12 years ago. In "New Shaolin Temple", the two played a pair of brothers who used to be brothers but betrayed each other. The characters are one good and one evil, and the tension is full. Now that they cooperate again, the relationship and competition between the two characters are still confusing, and the black and evil forces hidden behind the two people also add a touch of mystery to the whole story, making the film story more exciting. On the day of the film’s launch, many main creators were present, such as Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jinsha, Xu Guanwen, Xie Miao, Lv Liangwei, Lin Qiunan, Fang Ping, Chen Jiale, Zhang Wenjie, Shen Zhenxuan, Beard Tong, Tang Junci, Tang Jialin and other actors all appeared one by one. Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse also distributed "tinder" red envelopes at the scene, which symbolizes the tinder planted when the camera starts today, and hope that the tinder will burn in the future. At the same time, they also wish the film a smooth shooting and push the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.


The film has gathered many old friends this time. Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse are deeply touched by the re-cooperation after a 12-year gap. Lau talked about his early acquaintance with Nicholas Tse, expressing that he has a feeling of watching Nicholas Tse grow up. As the film’s action director, Nicholas Tse revealed that he designed an exclusive action scene for Andy Lau, and Andy Lau joked: "Ting Feng loves me so much." The two also expressed appreciation and recognition when talking about the cooperation with young actors. This sand also revealed that he entered the group training a month in advance and liked the action scenes designed by Nicholas Tse for him. He also said that he grew up watching Hong Kong films, and this time he came to Hong Kong to film has a feeling of "dream into reality". In addition to the new generation of young actors joining, the film also invited Xie Miao to "return". Xie Miao, who returned to Hong Kong to film after 30 years, also expressed his nostalgia for Hong Kong films, and sighed: "Hong Kong films have been brilliant for so many years because they are very professional. There is a kind of inheritance of masters and apprentices, no matter how long it takes, it still tastes like that."


Brilliant lineup detonates character memory

Dig deep into the boundaries of human nature under the scene


The movie "Rage" gathers many powerful actors, many of whom have cooperated several times. The brotherhood between Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse in "New Shaolin Temple" is regrettable. The roles played by the two still seem to have a great disparity in identity. One is an honorary representative of the Hong Kong police force, and the other is a vicious criminal who committed crimes. How do the stories between them collide? Therefore, this sand, which is well known to everyone, will also change the screen image of the previous "Fairy Fluttering", subvert and challenge the tough guy characters. In order to get close to the character image, not only did he train hard in action scenes, but also further adjusted his skin color. Previously, it was also "ridiculed" by netizens. Xie Miao, who has starred in the series, once again starred as a police officer, and will also act in Hong Kong movies in 30 years. His martial arts skills will also inject fresh vision into the action scenes. In addition, the film gathers the two generations of "Ding Li", Andy Lau and Lv Liangwei, in the same frame. Whether the two will have a rival scene is expected. In addition to the strong lineup and action scenes, the film will also dig deep into the meaning and value of the story. In addition to the confrontation between justice and crime, it will also probe deeply into emotion and human nature, looking forward to bringing innovative breakthroughs in style to the crime action genre.


Stay tuned for the movie "Rage".


Hu Ge Weibo fell and was urged to marry： no one will be your best man if you don’t get married again

1905 movie network news On August 23, Zhang Xinyi announced the good news of pregnancy on Yuan Hong’s birthday and posted an ultrasound photo, and netizens sent blessings one after another. However, Yuan Hong’s friend Hu Ge’s Weibo was captured by netizens, and everyone left messages "urging marriage". The scene was very funny.


Hu Ge and Yuan Hong are college classmates who slept in the same dormitory, and their relationship is very deep. When Yuan Hong got married in Germany in 2016, Hu Ge was also Yuan Hong’s best man. As a good brother, Yuan Hong also said in an interview: "We are in the same mood as his (Hu Ge) parents. This matter cannot be rushed, and it is useless for anyone to worry about fate for him. Of course, we hope that he will start a family earlier. I have been brainwashing him, saying how good it is to get married, but it is useless to say more. When fate arrives, it will naturally happen."


"Yuan Hong is about to become a father. When are you getting married?" "Are you married today?" "If you don’t hold on tight, you won’t even be able to find the best man!"


Explore the store BYD Han, the terminal has no discount, and the first two luxury versions are introduced.

After the implementation of the latest foreign brand restriction policy in Shanghai, many former foreign brand owners have set their sights on the new energy vehicle market. Among many automobile brands, BYD has always been the first choice for many consumers, especially the newly launched Han, which can be seen everywhere in Shanghai, even in the suburbs. Therefore, taking this opportunity to come to BYD 4S store, let’s take a look at why this popular car can sell so well, and finally bring you its purchase recommendation.

When I arrived at BYD 4S store in the morning, I could see a row of test cars parked there quietly next to the door, including two in BYD Han, namely Han EV (parameter picture) and Han DM. The current sales volume of this car can be seen. Oh, by the way, through this picture, the difference between the two versions, the red one without grille is EV, and the gray one with air intake grille next to it is DM, which is very simple to distinguish.

Compared with the whole BYD family, Han’s style can also be described as unique. After the slender headlights are connected with the chrome-plated decoration in the middle, they look elegant and sporty with the pressed front. However, I don’t think the gray version of the exhibition hall looks as good as red.

If you don’t talk about the body parameters, I think you can guess the level of this car by the slender size of the side. Yes, Han’s positioning is a medium and large car. Its car length has reached 4980mm, and its wheelbase has reached 2920 mm. In addition, the use of hidden door handles also conforms to the image that a pure electric vehicle should have. The ubiquitous chrome-plated material makes the car side exquisite as well.

In addition, it should be noted that the C-pillar of the ultra-long battery life version (two-wheel drive) of Han EV is different from that of the four-wheel drive high-performance version. The former is decorated with bright black, while the latter is decorated with metal, so this EV in the exhibition hall is a four-wheel drive high-performance version.

The shape of the rear also continues the simple design style of the front, and the use of penetrating taillights just fits the front face. In addition, BYD’s most signature dragon claw taillights are also reserved, but in contrast, the whole tail is more calm than the front face.

Entering the car, the interior of Han EV still continues BYD’s consistent impression of science and technology. At the same time, as a medium and large car, thanks to the use of large leather and wood grain decoration, the luxury is equally strong, which also gives this Han EV a more mature and stable impression than other models in the family.

Of course, the softer padding and the excellent shoulder support of the front seat make the seat of Han EV conform to the performance of a medium and large car.

After excluding the seats, there is no doubt about the performance of the rear space brought by the positioning of medium and large cars. In addition, an LCD control panel is provided for the rear passengers behind the central armrest, and the whole system supports the configuration of independent air conditioning in the rear, which can be said to be a combination of technology and practicality. It should be noted that Han EV also comes standard with co-pilot boss key.

As for the trunk space, the trunk space is basically the same as that of an ordinary fuel vehicle because the power batteries of the vehicle are placed below.

On the power level, the total motor power of Han EV is 163kW and 363kW respectively, the total motor torque is 330N·m and 680N·m, the battery energy is 76.9kWh, and the cruising range is 605km and 550km respectively. Among them, the acceleration time of the latter is only 3.9s seconds. As for Han DM, it is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 141kW and a peak torque of 320 N m. The total power of the matched motor is 180kW and the total torque is 330 N m. The official acceleration time of zero hundred kilometers is only 4.7s s.

As for the preferential policy of this car, according to the sales introduction, there is no preferential policy for the whole series of Han, but there is a five-year interest-free loan policy, and the store has an existing car. In addition, because Shanghai has just launched a new policy on new energy vehicles, the most influential ones are plug-in hybrid and extended-range models. Therefore, after the release of the policy, Han DM has seen a lot of people.

Of the five models, which one is more worth buying?

BYD Han has five models to choose from, including two for DM and three for EV, so we recommend them separately.

First of all, there are two DM versions, and we recommend the entry-level model with a guide price of 219,800 yuan, which is the luxury model with four-wheel drive performance. In terms of configuration, compared with the four-wheel drive performance version with a guide price of 239,800 yuan, the latter only has more configurations and functions such as leather seats, 4-way height adjustment of the main driver’s seat, 2-way height /4-way waist support of the auxiliary driver’s seat, heating/ventilation of the auxiliary driver’s seat, 11-horn speakers, multi-color interior atmosphere lights, memory/reversing automatic rollover of the external rearview mirror, automatic anti-glare of the internal rearview mirror and independent air conditioning in the rear row. Although the above configuration is worth the price difference, because the configuration of DM itself is high enough, the above additional configuration can not better improve the experience. In the mechanical part, both DM versions are the same. So there is no doubt that DM’s four-wheel drive performance version is a better choice.

Followed by three EV versions, if you like high performance, then directly choose the four-wheel drive high-performance version of the flagship with a guide price of 279,500 yuan. If you have higher requirements for battery life, then choose two long battery life versions. As for these two models, we recommend the entry-level version of EV, that is, the ultra-long endurance luxury model with a guide price of 229,800 yuan. Compared with the super-long endurance version with the guide price of 255,800 yuan, the latter has more parallel assistance, reversing car side early warning system, automatic parking, leather seat, 4-way height adjustment of the main driver’s seat, 2-way height /4-way waist support of the auxiliary driver’s seat, heating/ventilation of the auxiliary driver’s seat, electric seat memory of the driver’s seat, 220V/230V power supply and 11 speakers. Their configuration differences are similar to those of the two DM versions, so the entry version is still the most worth buying.

Write it at the end

To say how hot BYD is, I think the scene where the exhibition hall is full of consumers in the afternoon can prove everything, and the Han series is the representative of it. Super-high face value, spacious space, and full of scientific and technological interior and configuration. Of course, more importantly, it also has DM and EV for consumers with different needs to choose from. It is no wonder that it can be seen everywhere in Shanghai at present.

Herd immunity： Why does herd immunity in English use herd？

This article is reproduced from "A Zewai English Notes" and has been authorized.
At the beginning of the spread of the epidemic in March 2020, the British Prime Minister put forward the proposal of "herd immunity", which made many people feel "refreshing". At that time, the successful development of the vaccine against COVID-19 was still far away, and the British Prime Minister could only imagine the HERD Immunization achieved through "infection of diseases". This proposal with low safety attracted a lot of criticism at that time.
Since the beginning of this year, with the listing of various vaccines, safer herd immunity has become an important means to fight the epidemic. Countries are encouraging people to vaccinate, and strive to reach the vaccination scale needed to realize herd immunity as soon as possible.
Herd immunity will effectively reduce the negative impact of the epidemic and protect people’s health; This statement itself also contains a remarkable feature of English in language and culture, as well as the great differences between English and Chinese.
Before explaining English knowledge, let’s first understand the principle of group immunity.
What’s with Herd immunity?
The definition of Herd immunity is roughly as follows:
Herd immunity is a phenomenon seen when a high percentage of individuals within a population have developed immunity to a pathogen.Group immunity is a phenomenon: in a certain population, a large proportion of people are immune to a certain pathogen (such as bacteria or viruses).
Because so many people within the community are unable to contract the disease or virus, this reduces the likelihood that those who have not developed immunity will contract the disease. Because most individuals in this population have acquired immunity, they will not be infected with related diseases or viruses; In this way, the possibility and risk of exposure to related diseases or viruses will be greatly reduced for those individuals who have not acquired immunity in the whole population.
There are two ways to obtain immunity from a virus or bacteria: infection or vaccination. Comparatively, vaccination is the safer, more effective path, as it provides immunity without illness.
There are two ways to get immunity from a virus or bacteria: one is to infect the disease, and the other is to vaccinate. In contrast, the method of vaccination is more effective and safer, and it will not cause illness while generating immunity.
Different expressions for "group"
In English, there are several other expressions of held immunity, including community immunity, population immunity and social immunity, but in newspapers and media, most articles use the wording of held immunity.
The original meaning of the word herd in English is not used for "people", but to describe "groups of animals".
In practical use, herd mainly refers to cattle, and sometimes also refers to deer or elephants, such as: A herd of cows/deer/elephants and so on.
Using herd to refer to people is strictly an extended metaphor. In addition to newspapers and magazines, people are often referred to in various fictional novels, and the language effect is herd vivid, such as:
She pushed her way through a herd of lunchtime drinkers.
She struggled through the crowd who were having lunch and drinking.
Two idioms
Although the description of "crowd" with herd is vivid and interesting, its meaning is not completely neutral, and it is somewhat disapproving or even critical. It is emphasized that when many people get together, they often lose the ability to think independently as individuals.
Herd mentality or herd instinct, which is often used in English, is usually described as "herd mentality" in Chinese, which means: like flocks of animals and livestock, they have no thinking ability, only know that follow the herd takes action with the whole group; What most other members of the group do, they follow suit.
There is an idiom to ride herd on sb/sth in American English, which is often used to describe crowds. This idiom comes from the plains of the western United States, which reminds people of the scene of cowboys riding horses and herding cattle on the grassland.
Although it originated in the countryside, to ride herd on sb/sth is mainly used in urban areas, which refers to crowd control, usually refers to unorganized crowds, such as:
The police rides herd on crowds of youths on the streets.
The police kept order in the street to prevent groups of young people from getting out of control.
Situation difference
This figurative use of herd to refer to the crowd mainly exists in newspaper articles and literary novels, and is also used in popular science books for the public.
However, in academic articles and official documents of various institutions and departments, most people deliberately avoid using Herd to describe people. For example, in academic and formal occasions, herd immunity is usually replaced by community immunity and population immunity.
Although this will reduce the vividness of the language, it can rule out the possibility of association and avoid being offended. Although it is vivid, it is more objective and accurate.
cultural difference
Different from English culture, many other languages and cultures are not used to using words specially used to describe animals to describe human beings, and even are very taboo about it. This is the case in Chinese, and an obvious example is a large number of insulting expressions in traditional Chinese that originated from "dogs".
This cultural difference between Chinese and English deserves special attention when learning and using English. When translating English-quoted media articles, it is especially important to realize that when "animals" are used to describe "people" in English, they are usually not insulting, and they are not intentionally offending others and calling them "animals, pigs and dogs are inferior".
Most of the time, Herd’s analogy of "animal" to "human" can be directly translated into plain language without rhetorical meaning.
Two more "groups"
Realizing the cultural differences between Chinese and English in animal metaphor can also help us to use English more vividly and effectively, and we will not be timid because of this "burden" of traditional Chinese rhetoric expression.
English words like herd, which use animals to describe "people", are very rich and constitute a systematic series.
For example, herd is suitable for cattle, deer, elephants and other large animals; The "flock" of smaller animals is called flock in English, which mainly refers to sheep.
In addition, flock can also refer to a flock of birds, such as the proverbial birds of a feather flock together, which often corresponds to the Chinese word "birds of a feather flock together". When describing insects, such as bees, it will be called swarm.
Like herd, flock and swarm are often used to describe people, which not only remind people of vivid images, but also have their own division of meaning and function, describing different characteristics and aspects of "group behavior" respectively. In English, these statements are usually not regarded as insulting or demeaning.

Nearly 60% of China’s demand for intelligent computing power comes from large models. How will the ＂gold＂ GPU chip play a greater role？ ｜ Silicon-based world

NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU (Source: NVIDIA)

In the era of artificial intelligence (AI) big model, computing power plays an increasingly important role and becomes a key productivity.

On December 20th, Titanium Media App recently learned from the first "AI Tech Day" conference that the report "White Paper on the Development of Intelligent Computing Industry in China in 2023" released by iResearch showed that the demand for large-scale model computing power broke out in 2023, and the industries related to AI large-scale model accounted for 58.8% of the total demand for intelligent computing power in China, close to 60%, which was the largest demand side of intelligent computing power. The second place is algorithm recommendation, accounting for 14.2%.

The report also shows that in 2022, the scale of intelligent computing power will account for 22.8% in China’s computing power structure, but in the same period, the shipment of AI servers will only account for 6.8% in China’s server structure. This means that intellectual computing resources are scarce, and the construction of intellectual computing center will effectively improve the supply and demand structure of intellectual computing resources in China.

Xu Fanlei, head of iResearch Industry Digital Research Institute, said that in the future, the general artificial intelligence (AGI) technology will continue to develop, which will promote the overall demand for intelligent computing. Therefore, it is necessary to have enough high-end intelligent computing power and constantly optimized software and hardware integration solutions, as well as to build ecological convergence upstream and downstream, full chain, and participants in various fields, and the use threshold is low and convenient enough.

In fact, over the past year or so, the generative AI technology represented by ChatGPT has been popular all over the world. Nvidia, which monopolized the global Al training chips with 95% market share, became the biggest winner of this round of AI melee, and its research and development of A100/A800, H100/H800 and other AI chips became the "explosive products" in the AI craze.

As NVIDIA itself said: "GPU has become a rare metal of artificial intelligence, even gold, because they are the foundation of today’s generative AI era."

From a technical point of view, GPU is superior to CPU, especially in parallel computing power, energy efficiency and CUDA ecology. Its high computing power and scalability make NVIDIA GPU the first choice in the AI accelerated chip market.

According to a recent report released by Stanford University, since 2003, the performance of GPU has increased by about 7000 times in the past 20 years, and the unit performance price has also increased by 5600 times. The report also pointed out that GPU is the key driving force to promote the progress of AI technology.

Nowadays, computing power is accelerating the evolution of applications in government affairs, industry, transportation, medical care and other industries, promoting the deep integration of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and greatly stimulating the innovation vitality of data elements.

According to public data, since 2018, the compound annual growth rate of the number of racks in China data center has exceeded 30%. By the end of 2022, there were more than 6.5 million standard racks in use. According to the calculation of China Information and Communication Research Institute, in 2022, the scale of the core industry of computing power in China will reach 1.8 trillion yuan, and every investment in computing power in 1 yuan will drive the economic growth of GDP from three to 4 yuan.

Then, with the increasing demand for AI models in China, the gap of NVIDIA’s GPU computing chips reaches 432,000 pieces. So, how will the "golden" GPU chips play more space?

At the first "AI Tech Day" meeting of InBev Mathematics Department held on December 18th, InBev Mathematics Department announced a strategic upgrade, from positioning a large model computing service provider in stage 1.0 to positioning an "AGI full-stack ecological service platform" in stage 2.0-providing a series of computing and full-stack solutions including IaaS infrastructure layer, PaaS platform layer, data engineering service, data store and model store for customers in the entire industrial chain of AGI, forming a "full-stack solution". In addition, InBev Mathematics Department has also launched "Bobo Cloud" service, as well as commercial landing projects such as "AGI Pan-Entertainment Alliance", "Wutong Project" and "MM Bean Project".

According to public information, Hongbo shares is a listed company whose main business is bill printing, but InBev Digital Branch, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NVIDIA’s server product supply, was established a year ago, and then Hongbo shares became a "computing power" concept stock and its share price soared.

On August 10th, 2022, Hongbo Co., Ltd. signed a four-party cooperation agreement with Zhongguancun Zhongheng Cultural Science and Technology Innovation Service Alliance, Nvidia Company and Beijing InBev Digital Technology Co., Ltd. to establish the "Beijing AI Innovation Empowerment Center". InBev Digital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, is the main body of the "Beijing AI Innovation Empowerment Center".

On December 4th this year, Hongbo shares disclosed a major contract announcement, and InBev Digital recently signed a Cloud Service Agreement with Baichuan Intelligent, founded by Wang Xiaochuan. During the agreement period, InBev Digital provided the latter with services such as high-performance computing or GPU computing technology. The total transaction amount involved in the agreement is estimated to be 1.382 billion yuan.

Zhou Wei, vice president of Hongbo Co., Ltd. and CEO of InBev Mathematics Department, said that the development from AI to AGI requires deep interdisciplinary integration. The company should not only build a one-stop service ecological closed loop, but also gather the top technical partners in China and even the world through this ecology, focusing on finding innovative computing solutions on the hardware side and data, model and algorithm optimization and upgrading solutions on the software side, thus relying on the single brand path of high-end intelligent computing equipment at this stage.

"Take a service provider who serves 15-20 small and medium-sized customers every year as an example. Through the calculation service fee and the sales rebate of Boboyun’s value-added service fee, combined with resource locking tools such as prepaid leverage, it is roughly calculated that every year (customers) can achieve gross profit income of hundreds of thousands." Zhou Wei said.

It is reported that the minimum computing power rental unit that InBev Mathematics Department will provide is a complete server, with a minimum lease term of 3 months. Each machine is charged separately every month, and the rent is paid monthly in advance. The target customers include AI technology companies that have a large demand for intelligent computing power, such as multimodal large model training and development, cloud rendering, driverless reasoning, and quantitative trading model training. Taking a single monthly computing service of H800 as an example, the pricing of computing power for strategic partners is 96,000 yuan p.u/m, and the potential customers are 256,000 yuan p.uhttps://m.jrj.com.cn/madadapter/finance/2023/12/m.

Up to now, InBev’s partners include head companies such as Baichuan Intelligent, MiniMax, Luchen Technology, Wuxinxin Dome, Jingneng International, Anqing Computer, ProLogis, iSoftStone, Century Internet, Zhongke Langke and Chinese Online, as well as chip leaders such as NVIDIA, Intel and AMD.

"We want to make computing power more efficient and universal, like water and electricity." InBev Mathematics Department said.
