CTOnews.com March 19 news, on the afternoon of March 16, Baidu held a press conference at its headquarters in Beijing, and the generative AI product Wen Xin, based on Baidu's new generation big language model, was officially launched. Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, said at the press conference, "Wenxin is a standard ChatGPT, the threshold is very high, there is not a big company in the world to do, Baidu is the first, I test that there are still many imperfections. We all hope that Wenxin can grow rapidly and bring value to users and customers as soon as possible."

According to every report, on the evening of March 17, the 23rd annual meeting of the Abuli Forum officially opened, at which Robin Li delivered an important speech. After the opening forum, in response to everyone's current comments on the internal test of Wen Xin Yi Yan, Li Yanhong said that the feedback on Wen Xin Yi Yan was similar to what I expected, and when ChatGPT first came out, the feedback was even worse than Wen Xin Yi Yan. At the same time, he revealed that there are more than 80,000 enterprises waiting in line to cooperate with Wen Xin.

According to the official account of the Abuli Forum, in his speech, Li Yanhong said that Wen Xin Yiyan is a new generation of big language model, generative AI products. This is a very typical model that can only be improved by "feedback", which is why I would like to send it out as soon as possible.

Why is the literary heart of the press conference recorded? Li Yanhong said: "after yesterday's press conference, many people asked why you didn't demonstrate at the scene. Would you like to show it to everyone at the scene in Abuli today? my team asked me to demonstrate it live, but it was only 15 minutes in total. And I have already sent out a lot of invitation codes, so you can try it yourself." Why do so many people care about it? Why is it such a big deal? Because the technology behind it is generally called 'natural language understanding', that is, computers have the ability to understand people's natural language, have the ability to express people's meaning clearly, and have good logical reasoning ability. "

Li Yanhong continued: "imagine that when a machine has the ability to understand, express and reason, it is very much like a 'human', but the memory and computing power of the machine is much better than that of human." After the machine has this ability, it will really change every industry. I judge that this technology can bring every company closer to its customers. For example, if you are Coca-Cola and billions of customers around the world are buying your products, is it possible for each of these billions of people to have a dedicated customer service staff for 7 times 24 hours a day? It is certainly impossible artificially, and it cannot be accounted for in economics, but when the machine has such an ability, then it naturally becomes possible. This is where growth comes from. In fact, in many cases, what was impossible in the past is not impossible, just because it is too expensive. Now, as a result of technological progress, costs have fallen rapidly, efficiency has improved rapidly, and many 'impossible' have become 'possible', resulting in growth. "

Li Yanhong also said that the big model brings growth opportunities in three aspects: the so-called new cloud computing, the opportunities brought about by industry models, and the third opportunity is application development.

As for the fundamental changes that have taken place in the era of artificial intelligence, Li Yanhong interpreted from the perspective of technology: the technology stack of IT can basically be divided into three layers, namely, the bottom chip layer, the middle operating system layer, and the upper software layer or application layer.

In the era of PC, Windows is the middle operating system, Intel is the chip layer, and the upper layer is for everyone to develop all kinds of software. In the mobile era, it is still divided into chip layer and operating system layer, but the operating system has been replaced with IOS and Android, and the upper software has been renamed "App".

But in the era of artificial intelligence, the technology stack of this IT will become four layers. The bottom layer is still the chip, but the chip will become an artificial intelligence accelerator based on GPU, and Baidu's Kunlun chip is the chip at this level. The frame layer is the framework of artificial intelligence, Facebook or Meta are this framework, and the domestic leading is Baidu's flying oars. Above the framework is the model, and the word Wen Xin released yesterday belongs to the big model. The model can have language model, visual model and auditory model, according to the industry can also have traffic model, energy model, financial model, medical model, and so on.

Above the big model, is the application of artificial intelligence era, Baidu search, intelligent information control, or energy, electricity and so on, is the intelligent dispatching system. These are typical applications in the era of artificial intelligence. These layers feedback each other, which makes the efficiency of the whole application improve continuously. The price of ChatGPT calls, the price of each Token call, has dropped by an order of magnitude in a month or two, indicating that its innovation is very fast. This phenomenon will be more common in the era of artificial intelligence. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence technology will bring us a very different world. So what Baidu really believes in is to use technology to make the complex world easier.

CTOnews.com noted that at the press conference of Wen Xin, Li Yanhong not only emphasized the huge demand of Baidu's customers and Baidu itself for Wen Xin, but also kept lowering his figure, admitting that Baidu did not have a "complete Ready" and that he wanted to mark ChatGPT or even GPT-4. The threshold is very high.
