于这是一个拥有学术循环的组织,这个组织决定了他们能做出来 R1,相比之下算法本身反而没有那么 重要了。时代的发展在不断向前,当下创新的算法也许随时会被淘汰,但一个优秀的组织却始终推动 着科技的洪流。 学术循环:通过组织级别的 Critical Thinking 持续做出原子化的创新,进而推动科学边界 事实上,组织强度能够带来创新,而创新能带来胜利。这个模式在过去十几年一直在重复,比如字节 后发先至,在推荐系统的正面战场上胜过了腾讯、Meta、Google,这是因为字节的早期组织带来了有 效创新。 早期的 OpenAI 也符合这个规律,Ilya 构造出了强有力的学术组织,带来了显著的学术创 新,进而做出了 ChatGPT,远远拉开了所有竞争者,进而获得了 100b 以上的估值。这些现象说明了 如果有特定的组织结构,创新就能自然发生。而如果没有这些结构,创新可能很难大规模发生。 从更高的角度看,DeepSeek、OpenAI、字节跳动(早期的)等几家公司都拥有 学术循环,只是具体 路径不同,我们可以用以下表格来比较: 学术循环揭示了一个深刻的真理:创新的本质不在于技术工具或方法论,而在于我们如何组织集体思 考。当 ...
