#FMCG Eight Talks##Big Model##iFLYTEK#Beijing Business Daily (Reporter Wei Wei) On August 15, iFLYTEK released a number of applications and products equipped with the capabilities of iFLYTEK Xinghuo Cognitive Model V2.0, including iFlyCode1.0, an intelligent programming assistant that can quickly generate code or change bugs, iFLYTEK Smart Work 2.0 that can perform video creation, and Xinghuo Teacher Assistant that helps teachers design teaching activities and generate courseware with one click. For students' speaking practice with Spark Language Partner 2.0, iFLYTEK AI learning machine also upgrades the AI programming space and AI creative drawing board. At the same time, iFLYTEK and Huawei jointly released the iFLYTEK Spark all-in-one machine, providing each enterprise with an exclusive large model. At present, iFLYTEK Spark has successively promoted the implementation of real and visible applications in education, office, automotive, finance, industry, medical and other industries.
According to the live demonstration, the iFLYTEK Spark model can use Python to draw red heart lines, draw a three-dimensional diagram of the saddle equation and set gradient colors, and generate mini games with code. The intelligent programming assistant iFlyCode 1.0 allows developers to use the code capabilities of the iFLYTEK Spark model more conveniently.
According to the statistics of iFlyCode1.0 tested and used by more than 2,000 employees within one month by iFLYTEK's internal R&D performance platform, in some typical scenarios, the code adoption rate reached 30%, the coding efficiency increased by 30%, and the overall efficiency increased by 15%.
In terms of multi-modality, iFLYTEK has upgraded functions such as image description, image Q&A, image recognition, text and image generation, and virtual human synthesis. At present, Xinghuo's multimodal capabilities are used in education, medical, industrial, automotive, robotics and other fields.
On May 6, iFLYTEK officially released the iFLYTEK Spark Cognitive Big Model and its application results in four industries: education, office, automotive, and digital employees. At that time, it was the period when the big model was rushing to be released, and Baidu's Wen Xin Yiyan and Ali's Tongyi Qianwen had been released first. Since then, the competition of large models has become increasingly fierce, and the capital, technology and scenarios of participating enterprises are the key to the success or failure of external PKs.
The day before the release of version 2.0 of the Xinghuo cognitive large model, iFLYTEK issued an announcement on the change of the shareholding of the chairman. According to the announcement, on August 14, Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFLYTEK, sold part of the company's shares through the block trading system of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Before the change, Liu Qingfeng's shareholding ratio was 7.27%, and after the change, his shareholding ratio dropped to 5.54%.
As for the reasons for the change in shareholding, in July 2021, in order to consolidate the company's control, meet the working capital needs brought about by the rapid development of the company's business, and enhance the company's ability to resist risks, Liu Qingfeng raised 2.35 billion yuan through pledge financing and other means to subscribe for the company's non-public offering shares, and the above debts have matured. To this end, Liu Qingfeng needs to reduce his shareholding to repay the principal of the above-mentioned loan.
The reasons for choosing this transaction come from two points: the company in response to the extreme pressure of the United States, in 2023 in the core technology independent controllable and spark cognitive large model strategic focus investment, the first half of 2023 short-term business performance is facing greater pressure, if the half-year report before the release of the available reduction time, may form a major misleading information to the market, so Liu Qingfeng will not reduce his holdings before the half-year report is not fully disclosed;
Another point is that on August 15, the company will hold the iFLYTEK Spark Model V2.0 conference, which will significantly upgrade the code capabilities and multi-modal capabilities that are highly concerned by the industry, and jointly release the Spark all-in-one machine based on domestic computing power with Huawei. In addition, the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will be officially implemented on August 15, 2023, and the artificial intelligence industry is expected to usher in policy dividends for large-scale growth. If Chairman Liu Qingfeng reduces his holdings in stocks to repay debts after the press conference on August 15, the company's active marketing activities around the iFLYTEK Spark model may be misinterpreted by the market as the purpose of reducing holdings and deliberately speculate on stocks, which will have an unnecessary negative impact on the next stage of industrial development.
