Beijing, August 23 (Reporter Sun Zifa) Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhongguancun Software Park, Zhiyuan Wudao Technology Co., Ltd., co-sponsored the "Top of the Enlightenment - AI (Artificial Intelligence) Innovative Application Competition", which was officially launched in Beijing on August 23. During the three-month event, teams and developers interested in artificial intelligence research and development will not only have the opportunity to experience the current world's largest intelligent model "Wudao 2.0" application, but also have the opportunity to share the million yuan prize money of the competition.

Ultra-large-scale pre-training models have become a hot spot and the focus of competition in global artificial intelligence technology research and development, which is expected to lead the technological leap in the next five to ten years and bring about a new industrial model. In June this year, Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute released the "Wudao 2.0", the "Wudao" team jointly participated by more than 100 scientific research backbones, through a series of original innovations and technological breakthroughs, to achieve a "big and smart" intelligent model, so that "Wudao 2.0" has the characteristics of large-scale, high precision and high efficiency. At the same time, China's first original virtual student "Hua Zhibing", born based on "Wudao 2.0", officially appeared and enrolled in Tsinghua University to start his learning and research career.

Professor Tang Jie, academic vice president of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, said in his speech that after years of technical research, "Wudao" is about to produce fruitful results, and hopes that the majority of developers can realize value through the "Wudao" platform in the competition. Wang Shaolan, CEO of Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd., said that the competition is committed to creating a diversified, multi-field, multi-scenario ecological platform, and hopes that developers, companies and teams in all fields across the country will actively participate in the competition.

Huang Tiejun, president of the Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, believes that the ultra-large-scale artificial intelligence model is the core of the future artificial intelligence industry ecology, and the innovative application based on the big model will form a huge industry similar to the application software of the personal computer era and the app of the mobile Internet era.

As the world's first intelligent application development competition based on large-scale pre-training model, the theme of "Top of enlightenment - AI Innovation Application Competition" is "Innovative Application Development", which is fully open to developers from all walks of life such as college students, enterprise engineers, and scientific researchers, and encourages all kinds of innovative institutions and developers to develop novel and practical intelligent applications on the basis of "Enlightenment 2.0" and empower the construction of AI industry ecology.

At the same time, this competition gives full play to the technical potential and industrial empowerment value of "Enlightenment 2.0", and encourages players to combine social hot themes such as health care, education and learning, social life, efficiency tools, environmental nature, and creative design to produce innovative application results of artificial intelligence with landing value, and expand and change the application map of artificial intelligence. Participating teams and developers need to choose a theme based on their understanding of the ability of "Enlightenment", combine the hot spots of social concern, submit a potential intelligent application plan and launch the application online.

Tang Jie said that the "Top of the Enlightenment - AI Innovative Application Competition" launched the preliminary round on August 23; the selection event "Pioneer Award" in September; the submission of the preliminary round on October 20, and the selection team defended; on November 5, the list of offline finals was confirmed; and the final on November 14 was awarded.

In terms of award setting, the prize money of the competition is 1 million yuan, and the first prize will be 1 team, 200,000 yuan; the second prize 2 teams, each 100,000 yuan; the third prize 6 teams, 50,000 yuan each; the winner 30 teams, 10,000 yuan each.

The special awards include "Huazhibing Excellent Application Award" and "Pioneer Award", and the winning team of "Huazhibing Excellent Application Award" will receive 100,000 yuan in prize money; the top three winning teams of "Pioneer Award" will receive cash prizes of 50,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan respectively, as well as office conference space service packages worth 1 million yuan, 800,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan.

In addition to the bonus and office meeting space service package, the "Top of the Enlightenment - AI Innovation Application Competition" will also provide other rewards for the winning team such as incubation support, computing power, talent through train and so on. (End)
