2月2号，SpaceX做了一件大事儿。 简单来说，马斯克终于把手里的王牌给整合了，SpaceX 正式收购了他的 AI 公司 xAI。 这就好比马部长把「大脑」和「肌肉」彻底焊在了一起，直接组建了一个估值高达 1.5 万亿美元的全球 最强私营企业巨无霸。 他为啥要干这事呢？老马早就看明白了一个残酷的现实：在地球上搞 AI，已经快撞到物理天花板了。 01 首先，地球插线板不够用了，这是老马最焦虑的痛点。 你想啊，现在全世界的 AI 巨头都在干同一件事，满世界找电。奥特曼（Sam Altman）到处求爷爷告奶 奶想建核电站，贝佐斯、扎克伯格他们甚至想把那些废弃十几年的老核反应堆刨出来。 既然地球不给电，我直接去太阳旁边插电不就完了吗？ 为啥？因为现在的 AI 太「口渴」了，不光喝电，还得喝水。 在地球上建个万卡、十万卡的算力中心，现在基本是「不可能三角」。电网受不了，你想在一个地方突 然拉几十个吉瓦，整个电网直接就崩了。 就像你家装修，想在客厅里装100台大功率空调，物业非得拼命阻止，因为整栋楼的电缆就是那么粗， 物理极限摆在那儿。 再说散热，芯片跑起来那个热量，你得用海量水循环冷却，这就意味着，要跟当地老百姓抢水 ...

Claude Sonnet 5，马上就要发布了！ 多条信息显示，Claude Sonnet 5（代号Fennec）已经存在于谷歌基础设施中，在性能上领先谷歌的「Snow Bunny」整整一代。 它有100万token上下文窗口，定价比Opus 4.5便宜50%，将直接解决开发者对Opus「太慢、太贵」的核心不满。 而且，这次不是简单的模型升级，而是Anthropic直接把一个开发团队塞进了模型里。 在SWE-Bench上，它的成绩超过80.9%，远超当前目前市面上所有的编程大模型！ 可以说，这个更便宜、更快、更强代码能力和多智能体开发模式的智能体，是Claude Code的关键解锁时刻。 开端：一条「404错误日志」 事情的开端是这样的。 2月2日，有开发者在Google Vertex AI调用API时，发现了一个神秘模型ID。 claude-sonnet-5@20260203 它的访问结果，是404 Not Found。 懂的都懂，这就说明，模型现在已经在谷歌的基础设施中部署，只是还没给你用。 随后，知名AI博主Pankaj Kumar直接下场确认—— Claude Sonnet 5的代号是Fennec，已 ...

对于这轮千亿美元级融资情况，记者结合公开信息整理如下：英伟达已确认参与且为最大单笔投资；微 软/软银为既有核心伙伴，目前在洽谈中；亚马逊/中东主权基金正在深度谈判；甲骨文、谷歌、淡马锡/ 新加坡主权基金则处于传闻阶段。 回顾2026年以来黄仁勋的行程和言论（即从年初的CES 2026到达沃斯世界经济论坛，再到中国内地之 行等），记者注意到，他有在推广英伟达的AI"五层蛋糕"概念，这一概念在CES 2026期间首次被提 及。 等到2026年的达沃斯世界经济论坛 （World Economic Forum） ，在与贝莱德集团 （BlackRock）首席执 行官Larry Fink的对谈中，黄仁勋系统地将AI描述为"五层蛋糕"，而不是单一技术，涵盖能源、芯片和 计算基础设施、云数据中心、AI 模型以及最终的应用层。 "从产业角度理解这一点非常重要：AI本质上是一个五层蛋糕。最底层是能源，因为AI是实时处理并实 时生成智能的，它需要能源来做到这一点。能源是第一层。第二层是我们所在的层，即芯片——芯片和 2月1日，在连续多年春节前的"固定打卡"——中国内地之行后，现身台积电先进制程工厂的英伟达创始 人兼CEO黄仁勋回应 ...

读过《三体》的朋友应该都知道，"降临派"同时有两个含义：第一个含义是，他们的立场不站在人类这边，人是要毁灭的；第二个含义是，主不在乎，因 为人太弱小了，主太强大了，所以主不在乎。 今天我们讲 AI 降临派。对于第一点，我不太可能不站在人类这边，因为暂时还没有什么证据 AI 要接纳我；第二点，我觉得 AI 的强大程度确实到了一个 像"主"一样的状态。 AI 强大的原因很简单，就是两个字：数学。我们做科技史研究，基本上还是会从数学逻辑出发，去理解技术对社会的影响。所以今天会跟大家分享这段 时间我一直在思考的三个数学等式。 第一个数学等式叫"人类当量" 刚才司晓院长也讲到了人类当量。我们知道原子弹有当量，一枚原子弹相当于多少万吨 TNT。简单来说，人类当量，就是计算大模型的智力输出相当于 多少人类。我估计一千倍不成问题。 我在这里跟大家演讲，本质上就是一种智力输出。我们把人看作是生产智能的机器，我输出智能的效率大概是每分钟 200 个 token，我一天不停地讲，差 不多 20 万个 token 封顶。而大模型可以输出 100 万 token，具体多少时间不重要，一秒、一分钟不重要，重要的是价格。100 万 tok ...
