The year 2023 is known as the first year of large language models. With the increasingly urgent demand for the application of large language models in the industry, AI Agent, which is considered to be an effective tool for the implementation of large language models, is surging and ready to go. At the end of the year, let's review the development of AI agents in 2023.
On June 27, Lilian Weng, Head of Application Research at OpenAI, released the blog "LLM-powered Autonomous Agents" to point out the direction for the AI application layerBe an agent
On November 13, Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote a thousand-word blog post for AI Agent, saying:ai agentwillRevolutionize the way human-computer interacts, andSubversionWholeSoftwareindustry
On November 7th, SAM Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, was at the first OpenAI developer conferenceAll walks of life in the futureEveryone can have an AI agent.
Statistics from well-known AI journalist Matt Schlicht: Silicon Valley has at least100 pcsOfficiallyprojectIn the commercialization of the agent, near100,000 developersAgent,WeeklyNew agent companies are born.
A set of numbers from 36Kr shows that as of mid-November, the AI agent track has occurredThere were 13 financing events, the total financing amount is about73.5 billion yuan, the average corporate financing is56.5.4 billionMeta(Numbers from 36 Krypton).
Some investors said that after June this year, almost no one in the AI track talked about how to make large models, and all the projects that came over were self-proclaimed AI agents.
On November 6, OpenAI released GPT Builder, a low-** development tool for customized ChatGPT, so that downstream customers and developers can develop their own agents faster. After the release of GPT Builder, a large number of GPT-based AI applications have been launched on GPT Store, and customized GPTs are also increasing.
Stanford University, together with Google researchers, created Westworld Town, a group of 25 AI agents that can interact and deduce the evolution of entire civilizations.
Start-up] AI Agent is seen as an investment opportunity with great growth potential. In 2023, a lot of AI agent startups have emerged. For example, Lanma Technology, which was established at the beginning of the year, and Workmagic, a multi-agent marketing SaaS platform, etc. Startups that are able to find the right niche and specialization are likely to stand out.
Scenario] In November, a real-time discussion on Dev Day on Twitter Space attracted nearly 100 people, and some agent startups reacted calmly to Dev Day, believing that only AI vendors that find landing scenarios will not be eliminated. Many companies have applied AI Agent to it, such as DingTalk, Tencent Meeting, Ruliu, ByteDance Feishu, etc. In China, the direction of Lanma Technology is the digitization of expert knowledge, and the application of Taoli Chinese, Meifu Digital and other enterprises has been implemented.
Bill Gates has pointed out that AI agent has great potential in four major fields: healthcare, education, productivity, entertainment and shopping, but more and more people believe that AI agent will reshape all walks of life.
AI agent is the best form for large language models to be prioritized. Zhou Jian, founder and CEO of Lanma Technology, believes that 2023 is the first year of large language models, and 2024 will be the explosive year of AI agents.
In 2024, it's good to watch AI agent.
