Привет, Хабр! В день, когда весь мир в очередной раз обсуждает «умные» ассистенты, генеративные сети и спорит, заменит ли ИИ разработчиков, хочется немного сместить фокус. Генеративные модели — это вершина айсберга, но весь его вес держится на менее заметном, куда более приземленном ИИ: на системах, которые ежедневно переваривают терабайты данных, считают сложные модели и обслуживают высокопроизводительные вычисления.

В 2005 году Nokia продала свой миллиардный мобильный телефон – недорогой аппарат, доставшийся покупателю из Нигерии. К тому моменту компания из финского города Эспоо выпускала каждый третий сотовый телефон в мире. Но всего девять лет спустя производитель избавился от всего своего телефонного подразделения, продав его Microsoft за бесценок – если сравнивать со стоимостью на пике.Ниже – история Nokia за 14 лет, с 1998 по 2012 год, когда она была крупнейшим...
