On December 16, 2023, CCTV News reported that data from CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed that the market size of China's Chinese large model has achieved rapid improvement this year, and the application scenarios have been continuously enriched, and the growth rate is expected to exceed 100%. Language model refers to an artificial intelligence model with strong language understanding and generation capabilities trained based on massive text data using deep learning Xi technology, which is considered to be an important breakthrough and future development direction in the field of artificial intelligence.
The rise of the large language model originated from the ChatGPT series of models launched by the foreign OpenAI company, which caused a sensation in the global technology community with its amazing dialogue and text generation capabilities. ChatGPT is known as the "iPhone moment" of AI, and generative AI represented by ChatGPT makes it possible for everyone to command computers to solve problems. It can be used for various applications such as production tools, conversation engines, personal assistants, etc., to help, serve and even surpass people.
In China, giant companies such as Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, 360, SenseTime, JD.com, iFLYTEK, and ByteDance are also actively engaged in the development and implementation of large language models to promote the rapid expansion of the market. According to the estimation of the large model home, it is expected that by 2023, the global artificial intelligence large model market will reach 21 billion US dollars, and it is expected that with the further development of large models and the continuous innovation of technology, enterprises and organizations will be provided with more powerful data analysis, advanced capabilities and intelligent solutions, bringing more business opportunities and development space to the field of artificial intelligence, and continuing to contribute to the growth momentum of the market.
The development of large language models is not only a technological progress, but also an accelerator for digital transformation. The large language model can change the way of human-computer interaction, the existing software will be connected to the dialogue ability, the interactive interface will be transformed, and natural language will become a new mode for users to issue operation instructions. Large language models can also enrich product categories, and a new batch of AI-FIRST applications will be born, such as creative design, AI marketing, AI operation and other fields. Large language models can also shape emerging business models, and AI-led "model-as-a-service" business logic will reshape the application development process, allowing traditional enterprises to enjoy the convenience of building application models at low cost. The emergence of super applications has essentially built a platform ecology based on natural language interaction between user needs and various information services, and has shaped a new traffic entrance after the mobile Internet.
In the face of the tuyere of large language models, how can Chinese enterprises seize the opportunity?On the one hand, it is necessary to increase investment, improve independent research and development capabilities, and build an independent and controllable general basic model to ensure network security, information security, and data sovereignty. On the other hand, it is necessary to accelerate innovation, expand application scenarios, create differentiated vertical basic models and application development platforms, establish "data flywheel" barriers, and improve product functions and user experience. Only in this way can Chinese enterprises continuously improve their competitiveness, achieve leapfrog development, and contribute Chinese wisdom to digital transformation in the wave of large language models.
