Masayoshi Son, Japan's richest man, is ready to play another big game, and plans to raise $100 billion to set up a world-class chip company to make semiconductors necessary for artificial intelligence, codenamed "Izanagi". Izanagi-no-mikoto, an important deity in Japanese mythology and considered one of the progenitors of creation and life, together with his sister and consort Izanami-no-Mikoto, created the Japanese archipelago and numerous nature deities and elements. To put it simply, Izanagi represents the creation and regeneration of life in the Japanese mythological system.
But more people know this super powerful Hitomi killing move from the Naruto anime--- which can neutralize what has happened for a period of time, and turn what is only beneficial to themselves into reality, and complete the lore of the enemy in an instant. This. It's clearly a fairy body! (Sun Daxian) can become another way, this momentum will be carried out first.
And this time, Sun Daxian is aiming at the famous NVIDIA! Son, in partnership with Arm, a major British semiconductor design company affiliated with SBG, decided to compete with Nvidia, an American company with an 80% market share in the field. Another purpose is also to complement ARM's business and build another AI chip giant to further swallow the global chip upstream industry chain, which can be described as ambitious. The reason why Sun Daxian is full of confidence again and dares to directly call out the world's largest AI chip manufacturer Nvidia is that it has the world's largest chip design company, ARM; Arm's market capitalization skyrocketed in 2023, directly offsetting the biggest waterloo of Son's career at WeWork. And the start-up capital of 100 billion US dollars, of which 30 billion US dollars was taken out of his own pocket, and the other 70 billion US dollars was taken over by Middle Eastern tycoons, and the problem of funding was easily solved.
What do you think about this? With the growth of demand for artificial intelligence semiconductors, the first AI chip has also become a sweet spot. In fact, it's just Son Zhengyi, and other industry bigwigs have long been eyeing and ready to move. For example, Sam Altman, the founder and CEO of Chat GPT, which developed the conversational AI service, is considering raising $5 trillion to $7 trillion for production, in addition to asking the United States to approve research on AI chips. Combining Son Masayoshi + Altman's actions shows that foreign research on AI is not only limited to software, but has begun to start the development of hardware. Once the software and hardware are combined, the formulation of AI technology standards will be mastered by foreign institutions in the future, and China will not be able to catch up in a certain period of time, just like the current operating system and chips, all of which must follow foreign technical standards. We will be completely left behind in the field of AI, and this impact may be no less than that of the second industrial revolution. Therefore, China's AI technology software and hardware research is also imminent, and we must not be opened up too far behind!
