Since the beginning of this year, smart terminals represented by AI PCs, as the ultimate carrier for AI to reach users, are becoming an important breakthrough for AI to be implemented on a large scale and benefit everyone. On December 7, the first AI PC Industry Innovation Forum with the theme of "AI New Ecology, the First Year of Intelligent Enlightenment" was held at the headquarters of Lenovo Group in Beijing. Lenovo has joined hands with AI technology vendors, application vendors, computing power vendors and other ecological partners to conduct in-depth research on topics such as the terminal of large models and the development of the AI PC industry.
** pointed out that the popularity of hybrid large models based on localized inference of models, supplemented by edge and cloud inference, will promote the development of public large model services. Since the end of 2022, generative AI technologies based on large models have made major breakthroughs and developed rapidly, and they can Xi learn from large amounts of public text and data, show greater creativity, and can generate high-quality text, images, and sounds, providing great potential for intelligent tasks in multiple domains.
Through the mixing between public and private models, everyone can have their own personal model, and every enterprise can have its own enterprise model. Only in this way can AI benefit every person and every enterprise.
** describes the specific application scenarios, pointing out that most of the user's tasks will be able to be completed with the help of the AI PC local model. When the user's task request is not private and extremely complex, the AI PC will invoke the capabilities of the cloud large model with the user's consent, thus greatly expanding the capabilities of the local model.
Therefore, the advantage of the hybrid model is that it can dynamically adjust the computing load on the device and cloud according to the performance and resource constraints of the terminal device, as well as the network status and task complexity of the user, to achieve optimal performance and efficiency. It can not only meet the needs of users and adapt to different application scenarios, but also take into account rapid response, instant feedback and data privacy security.
In this context, traditional application vendors are facing the pressure of transformation, empowering large-scale application AI models and adapting applications to plug-ins. Among them, the crowd creation applications that users can develop on the device side and in the cloud may become a trend in the industry ecology and have an impact on the industry pattern. AI native applications with AI models as the core will gradually become the mainstream of the market, and a number of new vendors focusing on AI native applications will emerge, bringing new opportunities to the market.
Lenovo is expected to launch AI PC in 2024, which will fully open the first year of AI PC in China, stimulate a major change in the PC market, and bring a more efficient and intelligent experience to the majority of users.
