The iFLYTEK learning machine incident attracted market attention, and the company's stock price plunged and lost billions of market value. Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFLYTEK, said in an interview with the media that the incident was an accident and the company had dealt with it internally. He noted that the issue appeared in a larger article during the trial phase, but the company had taken it down in the first place and imposed penalties on partners. In addition, iFLYTEK will also strengthen the content moderation mechanism on the learning machine.
Liu Qingfeng said that the incident was deliberately fueled by someone in an attempt to affect the company's stock price and social image. He also said that the crackdown will only boost the company's morale and make them more aware of the importance of content protection in the field of education. Liu Qingfeng also revealed that the company has reported to the relevant departments and carried out evidence collection work. In addition to the learning machine incident, Liu Qingfeng released iFLYTEK's new products at the World Sound Expo and said that the company will achieve the goal of benchmarking GPT-4 in the first half of 2024.
It is understood that the new version of iFLYTEK has been comprehensively improved in terms of text generation and language understanding. iFLYTEK recently announced at the "Spark Model 3.0 Release Forum" that their objective evaluation of Chinese ability has surpassed ChatGPT in "iFLYTEK Spark" 3.0. In terms of English ability, the results are comparable to the results of ChatGPT's 48 tasks.
In addition, the comprehensive ability of Spark Model V3.0 also surpasses ChatGPT, not only in the leading position in China, but also in the international first-class level. The conference also released a number of industry large models for the first time, including the large model of scientific and technological literature, the enlightened interactive English AI Q&A supplement, and the iFLYTEK Xinghuo medical large model. It is worth mentioning that the effect of the medical big model is comparable to OpenAI's GPT-4.
In addition, iFLYTEK has also cooperated with industry enterprises to release 12 industry models such as financial models, automobile models, and industrial models. It is worth mentioning that these models and codes are completed on the domestic computing power platform. Huawei also promised to provide strong support for "iFLYTEK Spark" 4.0.
