The second batch of AI large models in China has been approved and landed.
Titanium Media App exclusively learned that on November 4th, 9 companies including NetEase Youdao ("Ziyue" large model), Mianbi Intelligence ("Mianbi Luca" Luca), Mobvoi ("Sequence Monkey"), Kunlun Wanjie ("Tiangong" large model), Meituan (model), Zhihu ("Zhihuitu AI" model), Moonshot, Kingsoft Office (WPS AI), and TAL Education Group (MathGPT large model) have obtained approval for their AI large model products, and will be open to the public from today.
As of the time of publication, Mianbi Intelligence, Mobvoi, NetEase Youdao, and Kunlun Wanjie have officially announced this news. Meituan has not responded; Kingsoft Office stated that synchronous information is needed.
This means that, together with the first batch of more than 10 large models, there are currently more than 20 large models that have been approved. With the approval landing, many companies have taken the lead, and AI large models are expected to quickly enter the stage of competing for native applications and industrial landing.
It is reported that the "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services" officially implemented on August 15 this year stipulates that for generative artificial intelligence services with public opinion attributes or social mobilization capabilities, safety assessments shall be conducted in accordance with relevant national regulations, and algorithm filing, change, and cancellation procedures shall be carried out in accordance with the "Regulations on the Management of Algorithm Recommendation for Internet Information Services."
The "filing system" rather than the "examination system" is also seen as cultivating a good soil and environment for the sustainable development of technology and industry, because innovation requires uncertainty, and problems in the development of artificial intelligence need to be solved by means of development.
On August 31, the first batch of more than 8 AI large models that passed the filing were publicly announced, including Baidu Wenxin Yiyuan, Baichuan Intelligence, SenseTime SenseChat, Douyin (Yunque large model), Zhipu AI (GLM large model), Chinese Academy of Sciences (Zidong Taichu large model), Shanghai's MiniMax (ABAB large model), and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (Shusheng General large model), etc. On September 20, 360's "360 Brain" also announced its opening to the public.
Most of the large models approved in this round of 9 companies are developed by AI companies established in the past two years, focusing more on the industrialization of large models for the To B (enterprise) end. Among them, the founding R&D teams of Mianbi Intelligence, Zhihu, and Moonshot are from Tsinghua University.
Among them, Mianbi Intelligence's multimodal large model application "Mianbi Luca" is officially open to the public from today. Users can register and use it at https://luca.cn. It is reported that Mianbi Intelligence was established in August 2022, and the founding team comes from Tsinghua University's NLP Laboratory. "Mianbi Luca" was officially launched in May this year. It is a multimodal intelligent dialogue assistant developed by Mianbi Intelligence based on its self-developed trillion-parameter base model CPM, with the ability to understand Chinese and English language dialogues, code, knowledge, logic, and images.
Mobvoi announced that its self-developed large model "Sequence Monkey" is officially open to the public from today, and users can experience it by logging into the AI writing assistant Qimiao Wen (write.mobvoi.com) or the AI open platform (openapi.mobvoi.com/llm) based on "Sequence Monkey." It is reported that Mobvoi was established in 2012, with a research focus on "specific task AI models," using voice assistants as the entry point. In April this year, Mobvoi announced "Sequence Monkey," which covers a language-centric ability system in six dimensions: "knowledge, dialogue, mathematics, logic, reasoning, and planning," and opened it for invitation testing.
Kunlun Wanjie announced that its dual trillion-level large language model "Tiangong" large model has been approved and is now open to the public. Users can register directly by downloading the "Tiangong App" from the app store or logging into the "Tiangong official website" (www.tiangong.cn). It is reported that Kunlun Wanjie Group was established in 2008 and listed on the GEM in 2015. In April this year, Kunlun Wanjie officially released its self-developed trillion-level large language model "Tiangong" and announced the start of invitation testing. "Tiangong" is an AI search engine and a conversational AI assistant with powerful natural language processing and intelligent interaction capabilities. It can realize personalized AI search, intelligent Q&A, chat interaction, text generation, code writing, language translation, and many other application scenarios, and has a rich knowledge base covering science, technology, culture, art, history, and other fields.
Zhihu's "Zhihuitu AI" large model was launched in April this year, a product completed by Mianbi Intelligence and Zhihu based on Mianbi Intelligence's independently developed CPM enterprise-level large model and ModelForce large model system. It is reported that Zhihu was established on January 26, 2011, and as of September 20, 2017, Zhihu's registered users exceeded 100 million, with a daily active user base of 26 million, an average daily visit time of 1 hour per person, and a monthly browsing volume of 18 billion. On April 22, 2022, Zhihu (02390.HK) was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the second time.
Kingsoft Office's large model product WPS AI made its first appearance in April this year. As an artificial intelligence application with large language model capabilities under Kingsoft Office, it is the first to land new generation AI technology in the office field and has been integrated into all Kingsoft Office products. Kingsoft Office positions WPS AI as an application of large language models, reconstructing office software with large models to provide users with a new product experience in three aspects: AIGC (content creation), Copilot (smart assistant), and Insight (knowledge insight), and will open AI technology to empower enterprise customers to help them build their own one-stop intelligent office platform.
Moonshot AI released its trillion-parameter large model moonshot and the intelligent assistant Kimi Chat carrying the model on October 10 this year. It is reported that Moonshot AI is a general artificial intelligence (AGI) company established by Yang Zhilin, a graduate of the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University, on March 1 this year.
Meituan has been developing AI large model technology as early as 2022, mainly for large-scale deep learning in takeaway advertising. Established in 2010, Meituan is a technology retail company. On September 20, 2018, Meituan was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. On June 29 this year, Meituan announced the acquisition of 100% equity of the large model company Beyond Light, founded by Wang Huiwen, for a total price of approximately 2.065 billion yuan, and subsequently invested in another large model company, Zhipu AI. Currently, Meituan's AI large model has not been publicly named.
TAL Education Group announced the development of its self-developed large model in the field of mathematics, named MathGPT, in May this year. On August 24, at TAL Education Group's 20th anniversary event, CTO Tian Mi announced the start of public testing for TAL Education Group's self-developed trillion-level large model MathGPT. Users can apply for it through the official website (www.mathgpt.com) from now on.
Among the above companies, Mianbi Intelligence, Zhihu, Meituan, Moonshot, TAL Education Group, Mobvoi, and Kingsoft Office are based in Beijing, while NetEase is based in Hangzhou.
However, the experiences of these AI companies and large model products vary. Titanium Media App found that the error rate of information feedback from Moonshot's Kimi Chat is relatively high, and the reason is not clear for the time being.
Currently, AI has become the central topic of the technology industry this year.
According to the McKinsey report "The Economic Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Next Wave of Productivity," if 63 generative AI applications are applied to various industries, it will bring annual global economic growth of $26 trillion to $44 trillion. This forecast does not yet include all generative AI applications, and the economic impact generated by generative AI may double if the unexplored applications are included.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, will hold its first developer conference on November 6, and is expected to launch many updated products, including the Stateful API, which is expected to reduce the cost of building GPT applications by 95%, thereby accelerating the progress of downstream applications. It is rumored that OpenAI's revenue will reach $1.3 billion in 2023.
