On October 17, Baidu World Congress 2023 was held in Beijing Shougang Park。At the conference with the theme of "Generating the Future," Baidu executives, led by Baidu Chairman and CEO Robin Li, unveiled an AI feast for everyone.。

          

Wen Xin Da Model 4.0 Officially Released

           

As a product of Baidu's benchmarking ChatGPT, Wenxin Yiyan officially released 4.0 version, and open the invitation test。At the meeting, Robin Li demonstrated the four core competencies of the Wenxin model: understanding, generation, logic and memory, and said, "This is what we believe is the most powerful Wenxin model to date, and its underlying model has been fully upgraded.。In the understanding, generation, logic, memory of these four abilities, compared to the current online version of the text of the heart is a significant improvement.。The overall level is not inferior to that of GPT4.。"

At the meeting, Robin Li demonstrated a number of capabilities of the Wenxin model.。

For example, Wen Xin can generate a set of advertising posters, five advertising copies and a marketing video in a few minutes.。In a word, Wenxin can complete the work that required a marketing team in the past, showing the big model of Wenxin 4.0 Powerful generation capability。

For another example, Wen Xin can quickly write a martial arts novel, not only including the outline of the story, but also continue to increase the role, increase the drama conflict.。And the fourth and fifth rounds of the generated content and the first round of novel framework combined, Wen Xin a word still "remember" the original generated content, reflecting the Wen Xin big model 4.0 Memory capacity。

In addition, at the meeting, Li Yanhong took "can a user registered in Chengde, Hebei Province use Beijing's provident fund to buy a house in Chengde loan" as an example to show everyone the ability of Wen Xin Yiyan to understand complex expressions and vague intentions in the process;。

On August 31 this year, Wen Xin announced a full opening to the whole society.。It has been a month and a half since Wenxin's opening, with 45 million users and 5 developers..40,000。Wen Xin Da Model 4.0 after the launch, from now on enterprise users can log on to Baidu intelligent cloud official website, in Qianfan big model platform to apply for Wenxin big model 4.0 API call service test。

                 

AI Melts into Baidu's Big Ecology

               

At the meeting, Robin Li mentioned that the biggest innovation in the field of science and technology in the past year has been the emergence of intelligence brought about by large models, which is the basis for developing native AI applications.。Native AI applications are applications developed based on the understanding, generation, logic, and memory capabilities of large models.。

And Baidu in the original application of technology, with AI for these applications to inject a new soul。

Baidu's core business - search function ushered in a new upgrade。The new version of Baidu Search has been refactored based on the AI model, with three characteristics: extreme satisfaction, recommendation excitation and multi-round interaction.。It not only improves the quality of search, but also breaks through the scope of application of search and expands product boundaries.。From the live demonstration, Baidu search is no longer limited to the original text search, but has become "illustrated."。For example, when you enter the question "Ranking of industrial value added by country over the past 20 years," the search results will show a dynamic chart.。

Intelligent office platform "such as flow"。Ruliu can be called the "super assistant" of office workers, with group chat messages "1,000 messages, one second to draw the key points," one-click travel, data generation and other functions, so that "intelligent work" instead of "hard work"。

Baidu Library released a new version based on large model capability reconstruction.。It is reported that the new version of Baidu Library has the functions of writing articles and producing PPT。Moreover, Baidu's new library can also write speeches based on PPT content and speculate on what questions viewers may ask。Li Yanhong said that based on the understanding of 1 billion level of high-quality documents, Baidu Library can write truly practical and clear manuscripts, "rather than serious nonsense."。The new version of Baidu Library has achieved an advanced level from "content tools" to "productivity tools."。It is reported that the first day of the opening of the new version of Baidu Library, its new AI features ushered in more than 2 million people experience。

Baidu Maps, according to the introduction, Baidu Maps will be the ability of Wen Xin Yiyan, with the map's unique 100 million POI knowledge and trillion traffic perception integration, and can be called at any time, for users to intelligently recommend travel methods.。Compared to the previous simple search location, the new version of Baidu Maps can recommend suitable dinner places for users between several locations and give road information。

In terms of Baidu's Internet disk, the intelligent assistant "Cloud One" realizes the transformation from graphical interface interaction to natural language interaction, enhances multi-modal information understanding, can accurately locate the video, and can also summarize the video content with one click and refine the golden sentences in the video for users.。It is reported that at present, the cloud has reached 20 million users.。

In addition, at the meeting, Robin Li introduced that Baidu's Apollo self-driving travel service platform "Radish Run" has provided more than 4 million services and has become the world's largest self-driving travel service provider.。He said that future AI native applications must be multimodal, and that autonomous driving is a typical application of visual large models to reconstruct the physical world.。

At the conference, Baidu also released the first generative business intelligence product in China - Baidu GBI (Generative Business Intelligence)。Baidu GBI has the ability to support natural language interaction, cross-database analysis and professional knowledge learning, which can reduce the data analysis work that business analysts can complete in more than ten days to an astonishing minute level.。"Fast" is Robin Li believes that an important factor in the competition。He said: "Enterprise competition, not big fish eat small fish, but fast fish eat slow fish。Make decisions faster than your competitors, and you'll probably win.。And he believes that Baidu GBI will become a real decision-making tool for enterprises.。

For this wave of "AI family bucket" presented by Baidu, there are actually traces to follow.。At the second quarter earnings call this year, Robin Li said that Baidu's ultimate goal is to cultivate a native artificial intelligence ecosystem centered on the Wenxin model。At the conference, Robin Li said: "Baidu is refactoring products and services with AI native thinking to provide users with innovative experiences and support enterprises to seize opportunities.。Baidu is committed to building new engines around generative AI and large language models to drive long-term growth。"

In this year's "hundred model war," Baidu's Wenxin model is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile enterprises.。And Baidu is also taking its first-mover advantage to the extreme in this big wave of models。In the release, update iteration, open and other aspects of Baidu has been in the forefront, to the public left a deep impression。Shen Shake, president of Baidu's smart cloud business group, once said, "Our top priority is to keep Wenxin's big model growing rapidly and maintaining its market leadership.。"

For Baidu, AI is a rare opportunity for technology companies to "turn over" in recent years, so Baidu is sparing no effort to seize the opportunity.。Baidu is now one of the few AI companies in the world with a full stack layout of applications, models, frameworks and chips.。According to the company, the cumulative R & D investment in the past decade has exceeded RMB 140 billion.。After burning so much money, Baidu is bound to push forward the commercialization of AI.。So, Baidu, which has already taken the lead, can take the lead again in AI commercialization, let's wait and see。
