Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

According to CTOnews.com news on March 22, Yang Hongxia, the former leader of Ali M6 model, left the Intelligent Computing Laboratory of Alibaba Dharma House in September last year due to personal family reasons. 36 Krypton learned from a number of independent sources that Yang Hongxia has now joined byte AI Lab (artificial Intelligence Laboratory) to participate in the research and development of large models of language generation.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Yang Hongxia is in a leading position in the large model team of language generation, reporting directly to Yang Zhenyuan, vice president of byte jump.

According to public information, Yang Hongxia graduated from Nankai University in 2007 and went to the Department of Statistical Science of Duke University in the United States to study for a doctorate under Professor David Dunson. After graduating from her PhD, Yang Hongxia first joined the IBM Global Research and Development Center as a Watson researcher, and then joined Yahoo as chief data scientist.

As far as CTOnews.com knows, she has hundreds of top papers in international conferences and top journals in the field of artificial intelligence. In June 2022, Yang Hongxia was selected into the 2022 Forbes 50 list of Chinese tech women.

In 2016, Yang Hongxia returned home from her nearly 10 years of studying and working in the United States and went to Hangzhou to join Alibaba Group. The Ali model M6 is the most outstanding achievement of Yang Hongxia during her tenure. Before she left, she had been the technical director of the super-large-scale multimodal pre-training model M6 at Ali Damo.

Alibaba Dharma M6 team led by Yang Hongxia is committed to cognitive intelligence and has developed more influential open source artificial intelligence platforms and systems such as AliGraph, M6 and Lothos, with more than 30 patents registered in the United States and China.

M6 is a universal AI model with multi-mode and multi-task capabilities, especially good at design, writing, question and answer. It has a wide application prospect in e-commerce, manufacturing, literature and art, scientific research and other fields.

M6, first released in March 2021, is the first 100 billion parameter multimodal model in China, followed by 480 GPU changes to trillions of parameters, and then successfully trained the 10 trillion model in 10 days on the basis of 512 GPU, which has the same parameter scale as GPT-3, but the energy consumption is only 1%.

It is worth mentioning that Jack Clark, a former policy director at OpenAI, praised at the time that the scale and design of the model were amazing. This seems to be a manifestation of the gradual growth of many AI research organizations in China.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Yangqing, Alibaba's vice president of technology, also announced yesterday that he would graduate from Alibaba and said he would move on to the next challenge in his career. It is said that it plans to start a business in the direction of AI infrastructure providers, focusing on AI applications, including big models.

According to public sources, Jia Yangqing, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, majored in automation at Tsinghua University as an undergraduate and graduate student, and then went to the University of California, Berkeley to study for a doctorate in computer science. During his PhD, he founded and opened up the now familiar deep learning framework Caffe, which was adopted by Microsoft, Yahoo, Nvidia, Adobe and other companies.
