laxative. It is quite interesting to learn some inside information due to work reasons, especially when the "he filming" incident was a lot of noise a while ago. Combined with some recent news, I can still see something.
The incident originated from an article by Tiger Sniff, "How I became a cannon fodder for Tencent's structural adjustment." The article mainly said that she took pictures of this startup's APP, she took Face++ using Tencent Cloud 's face fusion technology, signed a contract for one year, and paid 5 million a month.
At the beginning, it was agreeable. I got the technology if you took the money. The product was launched in less than half a month, with a daily activity of 2 million +, and the daily user increment could reach 1 million. It directly ranked first in the mini program picture photography list.
It turned out that I was not happy for a few days, something bad happened.
Since September 5th, batch after batch of users have reported that the picture quality of the pictures generated by the "her Face" app has deteriorated, and when it is high, there can be tens of thousands of people a day. The content of the enterprise has been backtracked and checked over and over again, but no problems have been found. There is no way to ask the supplier?
Then they were shocked. Tencent's father unilaterally announced that, "In order to enhance the three-dimensional face of the fusion, the back-end engine was routinely updated, which accidentally injured her'Face+'", and the subsequent tearing battle will not start here. , But embarrassingly, there was one more thing that was not mentioned in the written reply at that time-within a few days of the problem, the Tiantian P map, which belongs to the Penguin Empire with Tencent Cloud , launched a UI and almost the same process as "her face+" The small program "Crazy Face Change" and popularized it.
Embarrassing? There is even more embarrassment.
Because the "face fusion" technology is provided to Tencent Cloud by Tiantian P Picture , the two teams previously belonged to the Tencent SNG business group. On September 27, Tiantian Ptu ceased to provide technical support to Tencent Cloud , and continued to push the "crazy face change" of similar small programs. Tencent Cloud tried to resolve it through internal communication, but three days later, Tencent announced an organizational restructuring. The two teams belong to two business groups, making internal negotiations more difficult. In the end, the original contract could not continue to be performed, and the material update of "her face+" was stopped for 20 days, and the number of users was mad.
The baby feels bitter, everyone is bitter:
"I'm using this technology for competition, do you think I'm stupid?"
"What about my client? I signed the agreement."
"You will solve my problem first! Otherwise, I will sue you to pay me 100 million?"
。。。
It's no wonder that Tang Daosheng, one of the TX Five Tigers, is always uncomfortable in his words, or because the two core businesses are not in his own hands.
The first to do cloud computing was to move some resources to the east and borrow some people from the west to do it. Without high-level attention, I made a series of things that were evaluated as "Avatar", and the air was suddenly full of joy.
It's hard to get ahead now, but the core product development and traffic are still not in my hands.
One key person is Lu Shan. When Tang Daosheng is a cloud, it is equivalent to giving most of his life to Lu Shan. Many business security and business platforms are completely dependent on his support.
At Tencent, Lu Shan is a person who will cheat everyone. The technology research and development are in his hands. Whatever function development everyone wants depends on his scheduling.
Another key person is Zhang Xiaolong, who has always been cautious about WeChat portals. Many businesses of Tencent will fight for Xiaolong's traffic entrance, but he basically refuses silently. Unless Ma Huateng personally instructed.
In such a camp, Tang Daosheng needs to unite Lu Shan and Xiaolong, but it is always difficult for the three mountains to do things together. People who have worked in large companies will feel the same way. Everyone has to get something with their own purpose, and it's hard to refer to which one.
Of course, this alone is not enough to explain why "she filmed" this kind of thing happened. After all, it is a matter of one sentence that the bosses really make sense.
There is another reason that is separated in the middle-Tencent's security technology, game cloud and AI are scattered in three departments
Tencent's security technology belongs to a security platform department under Lu Shan.
Cloud security is a very important function on the cloud platform, and it can be more effective if it is deeply integrated with the infrastructure and PaaS level. The development of this key product is not in the cloud department.
Tencent Cloud’s main game cloud service, product technology research and development is still in Lu Shanna, the customer source is IEG, which is the interactive game department.
AI is also scattered in various departments. To break down, Tencent Youtu Lab, AI Lab, WeChat AI Team and Robotics X (Robot Lab) are all working on AI. They belong to three different business groups. Everyone has similar directions, all of which are image recognition, Machine translation, etc.
So~ Which team's technology do you want Tencent Cloud to sell first?
It can be said that this organizational complexity is also one of the underlying reasons for the outbreak of the "She Shooting" incident. After all, the teams under Dowson Tong before the adjustment of the structure are like this, not to mention that they are now on separate sides.
To put it harder, Tencent Cloud is a product marketing department and it is not easy.
——
It is now 9102 years, and I personally feel that the several companies mentioned in the question have their own advantages in cloud.
Ali cloud technology and product capability, Tencent C-terminal interface has an advantage, Baidu cloud. . Emmm, it’s okay if you have different opinions, I won’t talk about him. . .
But for enterprise customers, which cloud they choose, they not only buy technology, but also want to buy security, stability and peace of mind.
I am most afraid of the internal friction of the company and the loss of customers.
So, are there any intentions to make products and services, or do you want to do other things incidentally during the product? Even if only once, it will be nailed to the wall.
