Former Facebook early engineer Jin Lei joined 8btc and started the strategic layout of AI cloud

On October 15, 8btc welcomed a new partner, Jin Lei, a former early Facebook engineer, officially joined and became the co-CTO, responsible for blockchain and artificial intelligence general cloud business. 8btc officially entered the era of dual-core technology, Jin Lei and Lang Yu will lead the research and development of AI cloud and Bytom respectively.

Jin Lei graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science and technology from Zhejiang University and a doctorate in computer science from the University of Pittsburgh. He has extensive overseas work experience and has worked for major companies such as Intel, Facebook and Pinterest.

In 2010, after graduating with a Ph.D., Jin Lei joined Facebook, the world's largest social networking company, as an early engineer. He was responsible for several large projects including cloud platform monitoring systems, real-time distributed storage systems, and database engine optimization.

In 2014, he joined Pinterest, one of the largest unicorns in Silicon Valley, as an early employee, serving as technical director of the digital platform advertising department, leading the team to build a precise advertising platform based on artificial intelligence technology.

Jin Lei has an in-depth understanding of the fields of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. He said that the combination of blockchain and artificial intelligence has great imagination, and he hopes to use technology to solve problems in actual application scenarios and bring changes to real life.

Bytom has developed an AI-friendly Tensority algorithm, which integrates the high-density matrix calculations in the AI ​​algorithm into the consensus algorithm process, so that miners can use AI chips for mining. The implementation of Tensority breaks the boundary between blockchain and AI, laying a good foundation for a more flexible and lower-cost general cloud.

Jin Lei is full of expectations for the business layout of Babbitt after joining the company. He hopes to explore more possibilities of combining blockchain and artificial intelligence while improving the utilization efficiency of existing hardware.

Chang Qia, the founder of Babbitt, said: The boundaries between the two emerging technologies, blockchain and artificial intelligence, are becoming blurred. In terms of computing, data, smart contracts, and privacy protection, there is a lot of room for integration and innovation between the two. However, compound talents in blockchain and artificial intelligence are very scarce, and Jin Lei is a technical leader across these two fields. His joining will greatly enhance Babbitt's R&D strength and appeal to talents. I talked with Jin Lei for a whole year. It can be said that before joining Babbitt, Jin Lei had a better opportunity to go to other platforms. However, it was based on the common vision of blockchain and artificial intelligence, and Babbitt's concept of "exploring the boundaries of blockchain" that he chose to go with us.

Babbitt is a leading blockchain information service provider in China. Based on the founding team of Babbitt, the open source public chain project led by Babbitt, Bytom, has also been successfully launched on the mainnet. The mining pool, wallet, transaction and other ecosystems have become a forest. Focusing on the technical implementation of Bytom, Babbitt has continuously expanded the team size and has now developed into a leading public chain R&D team in China. If Babbitt played the role of a lookout in the first five years of China's blockchain industry, using information as an anchor to explore the boundaries of blockchain, then five years later, Babbitt has grown into a true blockchain seaman, using technology as a rudder to explore new continents.
