Last week, Huawei's annual flagship Mate 10 finally arrived at home. One of the important selling points of this new heavy-duty aircraft is that the powerful AI capability is due to Kirin 970.
The Kirin 970 highlights the AI capabilities of mobile phones, which is the next big trend in mobile processors. Apple has also pre-programmed the A11, and Qualcomm has announced follow-up.
As for Samsung, which plays an important role in the field of mobile processors, it will not let this trend go. Now, according to the Korean Herald, Samsung made a low-key investment in China's AI startups in August.
Before that, Samsung had invested $30 million in Graphcore, the British AI technology company, and their continued investment was to make sure they did not lag behind in the AI competition.
It is reported that Shenzhen Learning Technology was co-founded by four graduates from Tsinghua University and Stanford University in 2016. It has a strong strength in smartphone speech recognition, natural language processing and other tasks, which is also the reason for their investment.
