On April 11, at the 2023 Aliyun Summit, the Ali version of ChatGPT Tongyi Qianqian was officially unveiled. Zhou Jingren, chief technology officer of Aliyun Intelligence, pointed out that all the software is worth upgrading and retrofitting the big model, and Ali will open up the ability of Tongyi Qianqian to help each enterprise build its own big model.

In the face of the generative AI wave in full swing, many domestic science and technology enterprises have launched large models, and these large models are inevitably compared with ChatGPT.

On this topic, Zhou Jingren said in an interview with Phoenix New Media and other media that people in the circle are not surprised by the popularity of ChatGPT. Ali launched the research and development of a big model in 19 years. Tongyi Qianqian is not for ChatGPT, it is not the final state, and there will be more pre-training models in the future.

Previously, Aliyun has launched a series of "Tongyi" models, including Tongyi-M6, Tongyi-AliceMind and Tongyi-visual model, and the recently released super-large-scale language model Tongyi Qianqian is also a continuation of this series. It is reported that Tongyi Qianqian has the ability of multi-round dialogue and copywriting, including novel continuation, e-mail writing, enterprise planning, etc., as well as multilingual and multimodal skills.

Zhou Jingren said frankly that OpenAI is the current leader in the field of global large models, and GTP-4 is in a leading position in all aspects, especially in reasoning and mathematics. On the other hand, Tongyi Qianqian is good at textual dialogue and reading comprehension. It iterates every week and makes progress every week.

In his view, AI technology competition is in a trend of catching up with each other, which is an inevitable stage of scientific and technological progress, and we need to learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses. Ali hopes to contribute his own technological innovation in the next stage.

At the same time, Zhou Jingren said that there is no clear timetable for all Ali system products to complete AI upgrading, and there is still a lot of exploratory work at present. What is certain is that Tmall genie and nails will be the first to access the test and will release new features after evaluation and certification.

In the AIGC competition, computing power is usually regarded as the focus of the competition of technology enterprises. Zhou Jingren said to this, do not blindly believe in parameters, to build a large model of artificial intelligence, does not rely on a simple stack of computing chips, this is a systematic project that includes the underlying computing power, storage, big data, AI framework, and requires the full stack technical capabilities of A + cloud computing. Ali is one of the few technology companies in the world with in-depth layout and accumulation in several areas.

For large science and technology companies, in addition to continuing to catch up with large model training and safety assessment, how to reduce costs is also a difficult problem, which is also the direction that Aliyun needs to focus on.

Zhou Jingren said that how to further reduce the cost of the exclusive model can effectively retain that part of the intelligence needed to really solve industry problems, and save other parts of the intelligence. there are a lot of technological innovation and technological breakthroughs, which is exactly where Aliyun has an advantage in this respect.

Cloud computing can bring great savings in computing resources. Zhou Jingren pointed out that the average CPU utilization rate of domestic data centers is about 10%, while the average CPU utilization rate of cloud data centers can reach 5 to 10 times that of traditional data centers. Aliyun's sharp reduction in the price of its main products will further increase the penetration of cloud computing and better meet the computing needs of the intelligent era.
