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

For developers, 1024 is the process unit of the computer operating system and a special anniversary for programmers. On October 24, iFLYTEK Global 1024 developers' Festival kicked off in Hefei. But what is different from previous years is that this year, as the AIGC wave swept the world, iFLYTEK took the lead in the research and development of large models, and released the spark cognitive model V3.0 (referred to as Spark V3.0), which is comparable to ChatGPT on "1024".

Users familiar with the Spark model all know that as early as May 6, when Spark "started", iFLYTEK Chairman Liu Qingfeng gave a "timetable" for the three major iterations of the year. Among them, October 24 is the heaviest and most popular, because Spark will challenge ChatGPT. At the launch of Spark V3.0, Liu Qingfeng said: "since the release of Xunfei Spark, the code capability has been continuously upgraded. Spark 3.0 has basically surpassed ChatGPT as a whole and is catching up with GPT-4."

What gives Spark the courage to surpass ChatGPT? That is the steady iteration of the technology side and a hundred flowers blossom on the application side. As early as at the first press conference on May 6, iFLYTEK introduced a standardized evaluation system led by the National key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence to assess the seven abilities that affect the intelligence of the big model to realize the overall evaluation of the ability of the spark model. Relying on the test set built by this evaluation system, Spark V3.0 continues to improve its seven capabilities, including code ability, language understanding, logical reasoning and AI key upgrade, which is also the key ability to determine whether the big model is smart or not.

Therefore, Spark V3.0 surpasses ChatGPT in the objective evaluation of Chinese proficiency, achieves the same results in 48 tasks of ChtaGPT in English proficiency, and fulfills the promise of "surpassing Chinese and equivalent English". According to the evaluation report of the National Research Institute of Economics of the Development Research Center of the State Council, Spark V3.0 not only surpasses ChtaGPT in comprehensive ability to reach the domestic leading and international first-class level, but also performs prominently in medicine, law, education and many other industries.

On the application side, the spark model goes deep into the industry in the form of "little assistant" and blossoms everywhere. The existing 15000 + assistant developers have developed 29000 + assistant applications, all of which are windows for inspiration. But before the spark little assistant is still lack of soul, that is, we often say "personification", and this spark V3.0 perfectly makes up for this deficiency.

Under the demonstration of Liu Cong, dean of iFLYTEK Research Institute, the virtual personality app "Spark Friends" became the prettiest boy in the audience. Liu Cong instantly filled the lines with personality charm by giving "Nezha" and "Zhuge Kongming" to the spark. For example, the iconic mantra of "my life is not from heaven" by the third prince of Nezha, and Zhuge Liang's comments that the big model can help the hero solve his doubts and can also be used to govern the country, all combine the historical background and expression habits of the characters and make the communication full of human feelings.

In addition to general intelligent applications, Spark continues to empower a wide range of industries, especially industries known as the cornerstones of modern civilization. According to the data, there are about 8 million software employees in China, and the software business income in 2022 is 10.8 trillion yuan, accounting for 8.93% of GDP. It is predicted that it will reach 20 trillion in 2028, so the large model enabling industry should first empower the code.

This time, Spark V3.0 brings a further upgraded intelligent programming assistant iFlyCode 2.0. according to iFLYTEK's internal project application practice, its improvement in the design, coding and self-test stages reached 50%, 37% and 44%, respectively. In terms of external data, iFlyCode is used in the cross-platform transformation of "smart classroom" products, which directly shortens the time required for traditional development from three months to one month. At present, iFlyCode has achieved deep docking applications in 107 institutions such as Jingdongyun and Ruitong Power.

For iFLYTEK, empowering education is also the firm direction of Spark since its birth. This time Spark V3.0 brings AI psychological partners to help teenagers solve problems and psychological guidance through four abilities: multimodal emotion identification, empathy expression, cause-seeking questions and personalized psychological guidance. Spark V3.0 also brings inspiring interactive English AI Q & A, through guided questions, personalized answers and inquiry interactive learning to stimulate children's desire to explore and change their learning from weariness to desire to learn. It is reported that iFLYTEK AI learning machine T20 series, Lumie series will start free upgrade on November 1.

From the layman is not optimistic, to peers can not catch up, Spark V3.0 step by step towards the goal of catching up with and surpassing ChatGPT. But Liu Qingfeng is also soberly aware of the gap between domestic large models and GPT-4. He said: "domestic large models are still far behind GPT4 in complex knowledge reasoning, fast learning with small samples, super-long text processing, and unified cross-modal understanding." But now that we have found the problem and Spark continues to check for leaks and fill gaps, we will one day achieve the catch-up of GPT-4.

Out of confidence in the original research technology of the big model, Liu Qingfeng gave the timing of Spark GPT-4, and both offline guests and online viewers were encouraged when "the first half of 2024" appeared on the big screen. With the continuous pursuit of the first echelon represented by iFLYTEK spark model, China's own big model will stand on the world stage and gain the upper hand in the competition with ChatGPT!
