Recently, the new social platform soul officially launched the self-developed language model soulx. As the most basic and core tool of generative AI, SoulX will be an important infrastructure for Soul's "AIGC+ Social" layout, and will be vertically applied to multiple social interaction scenarios on the platform, such as the intelligent dialogue robot "AI Goudan", AI-assisted chat, virtual companionship and many other tools and innovative functions to further enrich the social experience of platform users.
It is understood that the advantage of SoulX lies in the accumulation of a large number of social type data in public domain scenes in the process of the platform's deep cultivation of the industry. The model is trained based on massive data, and has the capabilities of prompt-driven, conditional controllable generation, context understanding, and multimodal understanding. While ensuring that the dialogue is smooth, natural, and emotional, SoulX covers hundreds of fine-grained risk categories, and builds a security system through strategies such as training data security screening, secure SFT data construction, RLHF security alignment, and inference interception, ensuring the content production quality and security of large models.
The official release of SoulX shows that Soul's layout in the social and AIGC fields has accelerated. Since 2020, Soul has systematically explored the deep integration of AI and social scenarios, and has continued to accumulate technical capabilities in intelligent dialogue, image and voice synthesis to continuously provide users with a more intelligent and immersive social experience.
Launched in 2016, Soul continues to provide a more immersive and comfortable gamified social experience for the younger generation through innovative platform services, such as the Lingxi recommendation system based on user portraits and the NAWA engine that empowers personalized creation, so that every individual can find spiritual resonance and true love in diversified interest socialization.
According to the data, as of 2022, Soul has nearly 30 million monthly active users, of which Gen Z users account for more than 78%;The proportion of users who have been active for more than 15 days on the platform is 637%；The average daily usage time per user is 464 minutes, the average number of private messages per day is 669 articles.
Behind the young, highly active, and highly sticky user ecology is SOUL's continuous iteration of new technologies, new features, and innovative social experiences around the core social needs of user groups represented by Generation Z. Since 2020, Soul has started the technical research and development of AIGC, and in the process of promoting the self-developed large model SoulX, relying on the improvement of the underlying capabilities, it has continued to explore the deep integration of the large model and vertical social scenes, and launched or internally tested a variety of innovative functions.
For example, the intelligent chatbot "AI Goudan", which was launched in internal testing, can conduct personalized communication with users, and personalize and actively close users in combination with multiple behaviors such as posting and interaction. At present, "AI Gou Dan" has the ability to integrate anthropomorphism, knowledge, multimodality, time perception, etc., and can easily reply to ** and text, and can also interact with text-based games. For example, if a user posts a dinner**, AI Gou Dan "relies on time perception ability and accurate ** recognition, it may "guess" that this is the user's own birthday dinner, and take the initiative to send blessings.
In addition to chatting with cyber friends "AI Gou Dan", users can also assist in chatting through the function of AI chat assistant (in internal testing) in Soul, which can provide users with chat topic references, easily break the ice and establish social links at the same time.
Users can chat with their cyber friend "AI Goudan" on Soul.
It is reported that SOUL will continue to promote the in-depth implementation of AIGC in social scenarios, and continue to train, upgrade and iterate SOULX based on massive platform data. As the underlying technology, SoulX will run through Soul's exploration of the whole social link, and empower the experience improvement of social relationships and content links in the discovery, icebreaking, establishment, and precipitation of relationships, as well as the production, distribution, consumption, and interaction of content. In addition to scenarios such as intelligent dialogue and assisted chat, SoulX will also accelerate the experience optimization and the implementation of AI products in more scenarios such as game scenes, voice and text group chats, and digital clones.
In the field of social networking, the new wave of technology represented by AIGC has not only brought about the improvement of interaction efficiency, interaction quality and interactive experience, but also the transformation of interactive objects represented by agents and virtual humans, which also means that the social scope and social form of the new generation will be redefined.
As an early platform to introduce AI into the social field, Soul will further increase investment in intelligent dialogue, image generation, voice technology and other aspects around the core social needs of users in the future, including strengthening multimodal dialogue capabilities, content understanding capabilities, and human dialogue capabilities, etc., and continuously launch innovative and diversified application interaction scenarios and gameplay to achieve intelligent social networking, immersive social and other experiences, and continue to explore new possibilities for social networking.
