Google (GOOG.US, GOOGL.US) recently released a series of new algorithms aimed at significantly reducing the memory usage required for large language models (LLM) and vector search engines, a move that has put collective pressure on the stock prices of the storage industry chain. The core technologies launched by Google this time include TurboQuant, the quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform, and PolarQuant. Among them, TurboQuant addresses the memory burden brought by high-dimensional data processing by optimizing the compression efficiency in the vector quantization process; the Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform significantly reduces data scale through mathematical dimensionality reduction techniques while maintaining data relationships, achieving efficient expression with "zero additional memory overhead"; PolarQuant utilizes polar coordinate mapping to project data into a fixed structure, thereby skipping the traditional data normalization step and further reducing resource consumption. According to Zhitong Finance APP, Google research scientist Amir Zandieh and the company's vice president and senior researcher Vahab Mirrokni stated that as AI is widely applied in scenarios such as large language models and semantic search, the importance of underlying vector quantization technology will continue to rise. These algorithms are expected to fundamentally improve the operational efficiency of AI systems and reduce reliance on high-end storage hardware. Affected by this news, stock prices of storage and hard drive-related companies generally fell on Wednesday morning. Micron Technology (MU.US) saw its stock price drop by about 4%, Western Digital (WDC.US) fell by about 4.4%, Seagate Technology (STX.US) dropped by about 5.6%, and SanDisk (SNDK.US) experienced a decline of up to 8%. The market is concerned that if AI models become less reliant on memory, it may weaken the long-term demand for storage chips and hard drive products. At the same time, SanDisk also announced that it has reached a private placement agreement with semiconductor company Nanya Technology for equity investment, indicating that the industry is still accelerating integration and layout. Google stated that the results related to TurboQuant will be officially released at the International Conference on Learning Representations to be held in Rio de Janeiro this April. Analysts believe that if the relevant technologies are widely applied, they could have a profound impact on the demand structure for AI hardware, thereby reshaping the growth logic of the storage industry ### 相关股票 - [Sandisk (SNDK.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/SNDK.US.md) - [Alphabet - C (GOOG.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [Western Digital (WDC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/WDC.US.md) - [Micron Tech (MU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MU.US.md) - [Alphabet (GOOGL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GOOGL.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Google’s Android Automotive is moving from the dashboard to the ‘brain’ of the car](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280345973.md) - [Google to Label Verified Investment Apps on App Store in India](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280479421.md) - [EXCLUSIVE-Reliance Jio woos investors to sell 8% of individual stakes in IPO, sources say](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280417425.md) - [Ex-Google exec Matt Brittin named new BBC boss](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280485259.md) - [Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:GGLL) Trading Down 7.8% - Time to Sell?](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280367180.md)
