A guide to digital inspiration
"AIGC" is now being mentioned more and more by people, and in addition to the traditional creation of Wensheng texts and Wensheng pictures, its use in more scenarios is also increasing. In particular, in the creative field, we are experimenting with the use of generative AI to improve productivity.
However, there is a big problem that has been restricting the promotion of AIGC, that is, it relies more on the network environment, which makes many people limited by the network speed when using it, and often faces the problem of not being able to generate a conversation for more than n hours.
What is the solution?
In September 2023, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger proposed the revolutionary concept of the PC - AI PC, and the new Intel Core Ultra processor released on December 15 made a blockbuster appearance and came into being.
Intel Core Ultra processors have multiple innovations that can be said to be a key node in the popularization of AI PCs. It is the first to use Intel 4 process technology, the first to integrate Intel Arc graphics, and the first to integrate a neural network processing unit (NPU), equipped with ultra-low-power efficiency cores, and a 3D high-performance hybrid architecture. Intel combines cutting-edge technology with advanced process technology to further improve the energy efficiency of Core Ultra. It uses advanced FoverOS 3D packaging technology to combine the computing power of CPU, GPU, and NPU to efficiently and flexibly meet the needs of diverse AI applications, while taking into account the performance and battery life of mobile devices such as notebooks. Arguably, the Core Ultra processor represents the biggest innovation in Intel's architecture in 40 years.
Thanks to the powerful performance of the Core Ultra processor, the AI PC can also be used to the maximum in the creative field.
In fact, the creative community was the first to use generative AI to assist in creation, and the use of generative AI to improve efficiency is nothing new. With the large-scale application of AI PC driving the large-scale application of AI models on the device and side, and the universal implementation of AI, integrating artistic creation into AI will help artists break through the boundaries of traditional digital art. AI PCs can not only improve efficiency, but also allow them to focus more on creativity and performance;It can also shape generative and interactive artworks, making the works more immersive, and allowing human imagination to extend beyond the canvas.
At the Intel AI theme event on December 15, we saw the blessing of Alibaba Cloud's Tongyi Qianwen model for artistic creation after it was successfully adapted to the Intel Core Ultra platform.
The "lofty", "far-reaching" and "flat-reaching" in traditional Chinese landscape painting bring a long meaning, which is digitally displayed;When Qi Baishi's artwork and charm are reproduced by AI PC through AI technology;When the simple graphics drawn by the essay are generated in the form of drawings in real time, Qi Baishi-style paintings, you have to feel the power of technology.
In fact, from the perspective of the market, AI PCs can bring more benefits to creators.
For example, if the traditional form of creation is used, the equipment cost is high, and it takes 9 months to complete. In the creative process, the creative team not only applied Intel Arc graphics, OpenVino and other products, as well as a number of leading technologies from Intel, but also took the lead in trying out Intel Core Ultra processors.
In particular, the team found that many parts of the work could be completed on laptops with Intel Core Ultra processors, so that students in the academy could complete content creation through AI PCs, which greatly saved time and costs.
It is also with the new Intel Core Ultra processor based on Meteor Lake, which integrates the NPU of the neural network processing unit for the first time, and can provide flexible and efficient AI computing power support for diverse application scenarios with the CPU and GPU, and ensure a long-term high-performance AI experience with the low power consumption characteristics of the NPU.
Another benefit of AI PCs is that their large language models can be run locally. Running locally eliminates the need to upload works, inspirations, and ideas to the cloud, which brings better copyright protection to the creator's work. Thanks to its powerful computing power, the Core Ultra platform not only supports the industry's mainstream 60-13 billion parameter large models, but also large models with up to 20 billion parameters can also run successfully.
As we can see, Intel's AI PC not only improves performance compared to traditional PCs, but also continues to promote the construction of application ecosystems. For example, around digital art, Intel has established artificial intelligence art practice centers and AIGC cooperation projects with universities, which are believed to develop rapidly and blossom everywhere in the next six months.
Nowadays, the large-scale application of AI is getting faster and more extensive in the terminal, edge, and cloud, and has become an "efficiency multiplier" to improve productivity. Especially after entering the digital era, with the abundance of AI applications on the terminal side, the emergence of AIGC large models, and related software and services, the threshold for users to use AI has been lowered, and artworks can also enjoy the convenience of digitization and intelligence, bringing artistic creation to a new dimension. AI PCs give people the ability to use AI functions simply, and they also empower people to use more scenarios. It is believed that with the development, the impact and role of AI PC will also be greater.
