Feng Yao, a reporter from China's ** newspaper, "If China does not have its own AI model, all walks of life will fall behind." "On January 30, the iFLYTEK Xinghuo cognitive model v35. At the upgrade press conference, Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFLYTEK, made a judgment on the domestic AI industry. On the same day, iFLYTEK officially released the iFLYTEK Spark model V3Version 5. Most importantly, this version is the first to be trained on the "Feixing No. 1" platform, a nationally produced computing power platform, which was previously jointly launched by Huawei and iFLYTEK. In Liu Qingfeng's words: "The sustainable development of general artificial intelligence needs to be built on an independent and controllable domestic computing power base, and general artificial intelligence must have China's own national team." ”Approaching the latest level of GPT-4 TurboOn the afternoon of January 30, iFLYTEK officially released the iFLYTEK Xinghuo cognitive model V3Version 5. Compared to v3Version 0, Spark Large Model v35. In terms of logical reasoning, language comprehension, text generation, math answering, and multi-modal abilities, it has been improved, and is further approaching the latest level of GPT-4 Turbo. According to Liu Qingfeng, in terms of mathematical ability and logical reasoning, the Spark large model V35. Compared with the previous version, they are improved by 98% and 95%;In terms of ability, text generation, and language comprehension, it is improved. 3% and 76%;In terms of multimodal capabilities and quizzes, the new version has been upgraded by 66% and 47%。
Among them, the Spark large model v35. The language comprehension and math ability of GPT-4TURBO has exceeded that of GPT-4TURBO, with the ability of ** reaching 96% of GPT-4TURBO and the ability of multimodal comprehension reaching 91% of GPT-4V.
In addition to the release of the Spark large model v35In addition, iFLYTEK also released the Xinghuo voice model for the first time this time, which has surpassed the Whisper V3 launched by OpenAI in the first batch of 37 mainstream languages. According to iFLYTEK, its Spark voice model has a super-anthropomorphic chorus MOS score of 45. The anthropomorphism is over 83%. Compared with all indicators to catch up with GPT-4, the Spark model V35The biggest attraction is that this is the first domestic AI general model trained on the national computing power platform "Feixing No. 1" platform. On October 24, 2023, iFLYTEK launched the Spark model V3At the same time, the company launched the "Feixing No. 1" platform jointly developed with Huawei, which is the first domestic platform to support trillion-parameter large model training. At the meeting, Liu Qingfeng said frankly that iFLYTEK was included in the US entity list twice in 2019 and 2022, and in the face of extreme pressure, iFLYTEK's core technology research and product development platform has gradually achieved full autonomy and control. "Our products must be trained on a safe and controllable platform, and I am glad to have worked with Huawei. He said. According to him, since 2023, iFLYTEK and Huawei have established a "joint special team" for the special work of cognitive large model computing power, which has doubled the training and inference efficiency of the Spark large model based on Huawei Ascend within half a year, marking that the large model training has been completely switched to the domestic computing platform, and the first to realize the independent and controllable core technology base of the large model. He said that especially on October 17 last year, the United States further tightened export controls on cutting-edge artificial intelligence chips and strictly restricted Nvidia and other chip manufacturers from selling high-performance semiconductors to China, which had a huge impact on large model manufacturers built on Nvidia's computing power. "There are few large models that have the strength to benchmark ChatGPT".In the face of the current "100 model war" in China, Liu Qingfeng said bluntly, "There are few AI large models that really have the strength to benchmark ChatGPT in China, and I hope that the Spark iFLYTEK large model is one of them." He predicts that "in 2024, the application of domestic AI models will accelerate in all walks of life." "As early as October 24 last year, at the Global 1024 Developer Festival, iFLYTEK and industry leaders jointly released 12 industry models such as finance, automobiles, operators, industry, housing and construction, and law. Recently, the Spark model has also begun to gradually land in the head central state-owned enterprises. Among them, on November 6, 2023, the Chinese People's Insurance Exclusive Enterprise Large Model, which is based on the base of the Spark Financial Large Model for privatized training and tuning, was officially released; On November 7, 2023, iFLYTEK cooperated with CPIC and Huawei to establish the Insurance Digital Workforce Lab. Liu Qingfeng specifically mentioned the cooperation between iFLYTEK and Chery Automobile. He said that AI voice plays an important role in Chery Automobile's overseas expansion. It is reported that Chery Automobile will achieve 188 in 2023130,000 units sold, of which 93710,000 units were exported, accounting for almost half of the country. "Vehicles exported to different countries need to be equipped with corresponding voice systems, and this is the most competitive business of iFLYTEK. Liu Qingfeng said. It is worth mentioning that iFLYTEK also released the iFLYTEK Xinghuo open source model "Xinghuo Open Source-13B" for the first time, which is deeply adapted to domestic computing power and helps developers, universities, and enterprises to develop independently and independently, and its large-scale application on the B-side is accelerating its implementation. Just a day ago, iFLYTEK also disclosed a performance forecast that exceeded expectations. For the whole year of 2023, iFLYTEK is expected to achieve operating income of more than 20 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 7%, and is expected to achieve a net profit attributable to the parent company of 645-7.300 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%-30%. In the fourth quarter alone, iFLYTEK expects to achieve revenue of more than 7.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 20%, gross profit of more than 3.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 25%, and operating cash flow of more than 1.4 billion yuan. Moreover, according to the net profit of 9936 in the first three quartersCalculated at 210,000 yuan, iFLYTEK is expected to achieve a net profit of 5 percent in the fourth quarter4.5 billion yuan-6300 million yuan, an increase of 2013%-2342% month-on-month. From the perspective of the industry, with high-intensity investment, iFLYTEK's revenue and gross profit still achieved positive growth, with a gross profit margin not lower than that in 2022, and net profit attributable to the parent company, non-net profit deducted, and cash flow all positive, maintaining a healthy and healthy operation. Ping An ** believes that the continuous iteration of the Xinghuo model will continue to consolidate iFLYTEK's core advantages in the field of artificial intelligence. According to the plan, in the first half of this year, iFLYTEK will release iFLYTEK Spark V40, fully benchmarking GPT-4. Editor: Captain Review: Chen Siyang.
