Global attention on generating artificial intelligence has been focused on large American companies such as OpenAI. letterof Google and Yuan.
But some giants in China, Alibaba arrive Tencent, Over the past 18 months, a number of companies have launched their own artificial intelligence models, hoping to capitalize on the hype surrounding the technology.
China’s ambition is to become World leader in artificial intelligence China’s technology war with the United States adds another layer Seen as catching up with the United States But competition is heating up.
Generative artificial intelligence includes the following applications OpenAI’s ChatGPTwhich can generate text, images and even videos based on user prompts. These applications are powered by large artificial intelligence models that are trained on large amounts of data, e.g. Google Gemini.
Chinese technology companiess Like Beijing, they must exercise caution when releasing technology Strict requirements for AI models and their uses.
CNBC reports on a large-scale artificial intelligence model being developed by China’s largest technology company.
Baidu: Ooni
BaiduOne of the largest Internet companies in China and one of the first companies in China to launch generative artificial intelligence applications. Its model powers Ernie Bot, an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which the Chinese company says has 300 million users.
Before the “Turbo” version of the model, Baidu stated that its latest version—— Ernie 4.0 — capable Comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-4. According to Baidu, the underlying model can understand and reason.
Like other companies, Baidu is selling the ability to use its artificial intelligence models through its cloud computing unit.
Alibaba: Tongyi Qianwen
Alibaba has launched a set of basic models, Tongyi Qianwenlast year. Usually abbreviated as Qwen, Alibaba Various versions were developed that could perform different tasks. For example, one model focuses on creating content or solving math problems. The other understands audio-based input and provides text-based output.
Some versions of its Qwen models are open source, meaning they can be publicly downloaded (with some restrictions) and used by developers.
Alibaba said in May that its Qwen model had been deployed by more than 90,000 enterprise users.
Tencent: Hunyuan
last year, Tencent launches its own base model, called Hunyuan.
Enterprises can access Hunyuan’s capabilities through Tencent’s cloud computing business. Tencent It has been said that Hunyuan has strong Chinese language processing capabilities and “advanced” logical reasoning capabilities. The model can support functions such as image creation and text recognition.
Tencent positions the model as one that can be used by companies in industries including gaming, social media and e-commerce.
Tencent operates WeChat, China’s largest messaging app. The company launched an artificial intelligence chatbot based on the hybrid model this year. Tencent hopes to differentiate its products from competitors with an artificial intelligence assistant called “Yuanbao” that can extract information and content from WeChat.
Huawei: Pangu
Huawei’s Pangu AI model takes a slightly different approach than its competitors. It has created multiple artificial intelligence models for customers in specific industries such as government, finance, manufacturing, mining, and weather imaging.
For example, Huawei said its Pangea meteorological model can predict the trajectory of a typhoon over a 10-day period in about 10 seconds, instead of the four to five hours previously required.
The models, sold through the company’s cloud computing business, can also support generation functions, such as the ability to generate code and avatars.
Byte Bounce: Doubao
TikTok parent company ByteDance launched an artificial intelligence model this year, marking a late move against rivals such as Baidu and Alibaba.
However, ByteDance has launched its AI model at a much cheaper price than other companies.
The Doubao model has functions such as generating speech and generating program code for developers.
