Will Wen Xin's words still evolve? What is the core foundation of AI-native applications? Will search engines still only give you 100 links? How to use AI to generate visual data charts? How to call the function of hiding 8 levels of interaction in the application menu?
All questions will be answered in 10 days at Baidu World Congress 2023.
Since Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, proposed that "Baidu should be the first company to reconstruct products with AI native thinking", Baidu is in the process of thinking, innovating and reconstructing in a hurry. Robin Li revealed that he will "teach you to do AI native applications" in the Baidu world, and will also bring a new appearance of application products such as Wen Xin Yiyan, search, maps, and online disks.
Baidu World Congress 2023 on October 17 is an "annual AI report card" handed over by Baidu to the public and the industry.
The following five highlights first revealed the secret of this dry goods-intensive treasure science and technology conference:
Highlight 1 Robin Li "Teach you to do AI native applications by hand"
Robin Li's keynote speech has always been the most attractive highlight of Baidu's world, and this year he set the theme of "Teach you to do AI native applications" early this year, which will be full of expectations under the wave of generative AI industry.
Behind the theme of the speech is Robin Li's experience of AI native reconstruction, as he said before, the four core basic capabilities of AI "understanding, generation, logic, and memory" are not technically available in the past, and they are also necessary conditions for achieving AI native applications.
The four core capabilities have enabled generative AI, creating a new space for imagination and innovation.
It is conceivable that this hour-long "on-site teaching" must be a stage for the display of these four abilities. Each attendee will deepen their understanding of AI capabilities through Robin Li's speech – "understanding" is not just about reading tongue twisters, and "generating" is not just about drawing and writing poetry.
Highlight 2: Wen Xin's ability to speak is upgraded
The stronger the ability, the stronger the practicality, and in the past few months, Wen Xin's words have gradually changed from a flirtatious and curious cool toy to a partner in people's lives, becoming a customer service, assistant and teacher.
Wen Xin's iterative upgrades never stop. Since its release in March, Wen Xin has completed four upgrades in one month, reducing the inference cost of large models to one-tenth of the original; After upgrading the Wenxin model to version 3.5, the training speed has been increased to 3 times and the inference speed has reached more than 30 times.
Can it go one step further, catch up with GPT-4 and play a more important role in life production? In Robin Li's speech, the answer may be brought to this.
Highlight 3: The new search network disk map and other maps were unveiled
As Li Yanhong said, the volume model is not as good as the volume application - what the AI native application looks like is more worthy of expectation than the AI large model itself. Baidu's rich application ecology is the best training ground for AI nativeization, and Baidu search, maps, online disks, libraries, etc., will all make a new appearance in Baidu World.
Everyone has long been accustomed to the 100 links that search engines reply to, and the next step, generative search, will it be like a real universal assistant, directly answering all your questions, and even helping you think of overlooked details? Will Baidu Library, which is used to view materials, help create content and become a productivity tool with the blessing of large models?
In addition to refactoring, AI native thinking products from scratch are also emerging. For example, will the new Baidu GBI help you read thousands of reports in dozens of databases, so that you no longer have to fall into the pain of SQL and Excel, and get the data analysis you want in 10 seconds?
Highlight 4: A new revolution in the development of AI large models
AI big models reconstruct not only applications, but also ecosystems. In just a few months, generative AI has built a rich ecosystem covering applications, large model platforms, and plugins:
If you want to call the large model capability, you do not need to re-"roll the large model", and directly call the capability on the Qianfan large model platform; If you want to make a large model application, you don't need to develop a complete end, you can encapsulate the capability into a plug-in, and "go out on the street" with various AI native applications. As a result, an ordinary programmer who is not in the direction of AI, or even an ordinary user who does not understand technology, can become a member of the AI ecosystem.
How will the big model ecology evolve rapidly? Entrepreneurs and developers who want to quickly enter the big model entrepreneurship and join the AI ecosystem will not miss this Q&A in Baidu World.
Highlight 5: Immersive AI Technology Exhibition, Open Your Imagination
For a non-tech audience, Baidu World won't disappoint you either. Here, Du Gallery, Prompt capsule wall, holographic digital human... Bring immersive AI experiences that open your imagination to the future of generative AI.
In the gallery called Du Gallery, you can create paintings of various styles with Wen Xin, and present them simultaneously in the AI Gallery, with the refraction of multi-faceted prisms, feel the artistic shock brought by AI paintings; In the Prompt capsule wall, select different capsule scenes such as travel, office, and travel, and the interactive installation will remind you to improve the subject, details, and form of Prompt in turn, "teaching you to write Prompt".
Baidu World on October 17 is not only an AI answer sheet handed over by Baidu, but also a science and technology conference representing the vane of the AI industry, at that time, I believe that both technicians, practitioners and AI enthusiasts will get the answers they want here. At present, the official website of Baidu World Congress 2023 has been launched, and social registration has been added, and the public can apply for on-site participation or make an appointment for live broadcast on the official website.
