According to an article on The Star, a Shanghai-based AI startup, StepFun (Jieyue Xingchen), founded by ex-Microsoft engineers, is focusing on scaling law to improve its AI capabilities despite challenges in acquiring advanced AI chips from Nvidia. Zhu Yibo, head of systems at StepFun, emphasized the importance of computing power, systems, data, and algorithms in pursuing the scaling law. This approach is essential for the startup to meet China's growing demand for computing power driven by the generative AI boom. StepFun's strategy involves optimizing these core elements to overcome the limitations imposed by restricted access to cutting-edge technology.
