After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 146 Operating System: Unbounded!
“Mr. He, please stop beating around the bush. I really don’t have anything here,” Lin Wen said, stroking his hair. “Multiple hardware integration behavior and posture perception, plus AI for intent recognition, it’s just that powerful!”

Hao Cheng watched the whole process. He had experienced this process himself when he was helping Xiaosha enhance her professional abilities.

To be honest, he was surprised when he used it for the first time.

Although he was the one who formulated the plan, the power of fusion perception and AI intention recognition is indeed far stronger than he imagined.

The magic of AI lies in the fact that its capabilities may be improving in ways that are undetectable to humans without our noticing.

"Lin Wen, do you think it's okay to release the Beta version now and recruit enthusiasts to experience it?" Hao Cheng asked.

The launch event is scheduled for January 22nd, but looking at the level of completion, it should be no problem to directly recruit a group of pioneers to experience it.

"Yes!" Lin Wen hadn't answered yet, but He Gang spoke first.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Hao Cheng turned his head. He thought He Gang had discovered something, or had learned some lessons from the Hongmeng system test, but He Gang said:
"If you release a pioneer, just wait to be scolded. People who don't use it will definitely scold you. Have you forgotten how users scolded you when Xiaosha was first launched in the native Hongmeng application trial?"

Hao Cheng's thoughts immediately went back to two months ago. He still remembered that He Gang hurried to Linzhou just to "give" this computing center in the park to Baiju Technology so that he could quickly start the server to meet user needs.

At that time, it was extremely difficult to get a position as Xiaosha, and there were even some conflicts among colleagues.

Fortunately, after Huawei traded two computing centers in succession, the service gradually returned to normal.

And now, the capabilities of this system are even greater than Xiaosha's.

"So, if we want to launch a Beta test, do we still need to limit the number of places?" He Gang raised a sharp question.

If we limit the number of participants, we will be criticized by everyone once we send it out. If we don’t limit it, what is the point of Beta? The purpose of Beta is to find and solve problems!

Lin Wen didn't dare to make a decision and looked at Hao Cheng.

"It's not a bug problem,"

Hao Cheng said: "I know Xiaosha's ability. Even if we recruit 10,000 users to test for half a year, there won't be as many as 100 Xiaosha's testing in one hour.

“In fact, in current projects, the realization of functions mainly relies on Xiaosha to write codes, and the probability of bugs in such codes is almost non-existent. The specifications and processes of software development and testing should also be changed. Beta or not is no longer important.

“Even if there are some shortcomings in terms of function and design, it will not affect normal use. However, the PC version requires a peripheral, and this thing is something we made temporarily, and the quantity is not large, which is the problem.

"As for the mobile version, the only one that can be supported now is Huawei's Mate series, and the Pro or higher version with TOF has the best effect. And it is definitely not possible for mobile phone users to upgrade by themselves, the manufacturer must adapt it."

Lin Wen agreed with Hao Cheng's words, and Xiaosha carried out unit testing and functional simulation testing at full capacity.

Although it sounds short, just one night, if you really count the coverage and total number of test cases, I would even say that it is not as much as the operations of all users in the entire life cycle of an operating system combined.

It is true that there is no need to consider so many things according to the existing development and testing standard processes. He also agreed with the mobile version. After all, mobile phones are different from computers. Computers can install any system at will, but if mobile phones flash and install third-party systems by themselves, many problems will arise.

For example, hardware drivers, computer CPUs, graphics cards, motherboards, etc., hardware manufacturers all have open APIs, and third parties can develop directly.

Just like the current system, Xiaosha has developed corresponding drivers for the mainstream hardware at this stage. Even if there is no driver, when the user actually uses it, it will be solved very quickly here, unless it is the kind of old hardware that cannot find the official API.

But mobile phone hardware does not have these things. For example, Qualcomm only provides APIs to mobile phone manufacturers.

As for Huawei, it uses its own Kirin, so things like hardware driver API are even less likely to be made public.

Hao Cheng decided: "The Beta version of the system will be released as usual, and the hardware solutions of gesture sensing, camera, and TOF lens will be made public directly. I believe in the power of the masses, and they will definitely put this thing into mass production as soon as possible.

"After all, who wouldn't be motivated to make money?"

In fact, these things are not high-tech things. The ones used for testing are bought by Lin Wen and his team from the technology market. Anyone who knows a little about electronic equipment and can repair mobile phones should be able to do it.

For peripheral manufacturers, an integrated solution can be developed in two to three days at the slowest, or even within 24 hours at the fastest.

"Anyway, we have no limit, so we can't be hurt even if you scold us, right?" Hao Cheng said, looking at He Gang.

He Gang's mouth twitched, and he thought: You might as well limit the system directly. I don't know how many unscrupulous businessmen will be fattened up from the beginning.

Just thinking about it, He Gang's mind began to emerge the scene of people scrambling for the fusion sensing equipment when the supply was initially insufficient.

"Don't worry. With China's industrial base and production capacity, such low-tech products will be everywhere in a week at most." Hao Cheng seemed to see He Gang's concerns and said:

"Besides, fusion perception does not require all the hardware to be complete. Just like a computer, it is impossible to install a gyroscope like a mobile phone. In fact, even with only one camera, Xiaosha can show amazing capabilities!"

He Gang agreed with this point and nodded.

However, Lin Wen raised another question: "This system is not suitable to use the name Mongo anymore, after all, the kernel has been completely rewritten and has nothing to do with Linux.

"Moreover, this is a shared operating system for all devices that is deeply integrated with AI. This represents a whole new era!"

"Then let's call it Wujie," Hao Cheng had no obsession with this matter. The name BYD could become bigger and stronger, with annual sales of several million units and ranking among the top ten in the world, proving that the name is not that important.

When I registered the company, I thought of using the name Wujie, but the name didn’t pass the industrial and commercial registration because someone else had already registered it. But the trademark for the operating system category is still acceptable.

"Explore without boundaries, open up the future!" Hao Cheng said, "We even have a brand slogan.

"That's it. I'll have Xiaosha set up a registration channel on the official website. After users register, I'll directly send them a unique boot installation program."
