The boom in the development of large models seems to continue, but the entrepreneurs of large models are actually facing real survival problems. They had to face up to the brutal truth: despite the high hopes for large models, their training costs were tens of millions of yuan, which was undoubtedly a heavy burden for many start-ups.
What's even more tricky is that, despite the huge investment, there are still few killer apps that can truly disrupt the industry. This makes it difficult for large models to be commercialized, and many companies are struggling to move forward in the midst of doubts.
On the one hand, there is an opportunity to reconstruct thousands of industries, and on the other hand, there is a mountain that must be climbed.
The development trend of large models: from dialog boxes to the industrial side
The number of large models is rapidly converging
As the craze for large models recedes, more than 200 large models that once emerged in China are undergoing a reshuffle, and only a few can really emerge. According to a report by a market research institution, the number and total amount of investment and financing in the field of AI have decreased significantly, especially in the field of large models. The shortage of funds has become a stumbling block for many entrepreneurs, and the high cost of large-scale model research and development makes it difficult for some enterprises to maintain.
In this competition, two major schools of thought have gradually come to the fore: one is the big technology companies with the advantages of resources, technology and talents, such as Huawei and Baidu, which have a deep understanding of the value of large models and have applied them to the industry;
However, the large-scale model market is far from reaching the endgame, and the knockout round has just begun. The value of large models in terms of efficiency, experience, and creation has been recognized, but the key to realizing these values is to deeply integrate with the needs of various industries. Therefore, the future large model market will be the battlefield of a few players, and the ultimate direction of the large model is to land the large model capabilities in thousands of industries. In this competition, whoever can seize the opportunity to combine large models with practical applications will be able to stand out in this "100 model war".
Large models are moving towards the industry and unleashing unlimited potential
As the wave of the Internet recedes, the concept of the industrial Internet has emerged, indicating a new direction for technological development. Nowadays, large models are becoming the "engine" of the new era and have great potential to promote the development of the industry.
In order to fully unleash the value of large models, we must step out of the dialog box and go deep into the industry. Just as electric motors drive various products to create value, the application of large models in the industry is equally important. Big tech companies have been keenly aware of this and have applied large models to the industry. From scientific research to large enterprises, the application value of large models has been fully verified.
In terms of small and medium-sized enterprises, Real Intelligence is an artificial intelligence technology company that leads the era of human-machine collaboration through self-developed AGI large model + hyper-automation technology. As a quasi-unicorn and hyper-automation head enterprise, TARS, a vertical large-scale model developed by Real Intelligence, ranks among the best in various domestic large-scale model lists, with differentiated advantages such as "effect availability, cost controllability, customized training, and privatized deployment".
For example, the digital staff of Real Agent was put into use in the customer service, material and information center departments of a subsidiary of China Resources Gas, and by building an efficient and safe digital intelligence platform, Real Agent significantly improved the business processing efficiency and achieved a 10-fold increase in efficiency. This achievement not only promotes the digital transformation of enterprises, but also lays the foundation for the construction of smart gas.
In the field of scientific research, large models have shown amazing capabilities. For example, in the field of drug discovery, large models are used to not only shorten the R&D cycle and reduce costs, but also to discover new drug targets and bring new breakthroughs in disease treatment. In industries such as finance, energy, and securities, large models also help companies improve business efficiency and accuracy.
However, the application of large models is not an easy task. We need to reach a consensus on the direction and find a more efficient and universal path. Only in this way can we truly unleash the potential of large models and promote the rapid development and progress of the industry.
In this era full of challenges and opportunities, we look forward to more enterprises and institutions embracing the big model and jointly creating a new chapter in industrial development. Large models are not only technical tools, but also key forces to promote industrial innovation. Let us move forward hand in hand and witness the infinite charm and potential of large models in the industry.
The integration of terminals and large models is accelerating, reshaping a new era of human-computer interaction
The popularization of smart terminals has promoted the integration of large models into daily life, opening a new chapter in AI. Huawei, Samsung, Apple and other giants have integrated large-scale model technology into terminals, making "human-machine dialogue" a reality. We can easily communicate with our smart assistants, and we can enjoy convenient services that change our lives.
However, convergence is not limited to the "battle for entrances". Huawei's unified developer platform and system-level native intelligence aim to connect the industry and consumers, deepen the integration of large models and devices, and unleash greater value. As a result, developers can obtain a more convenient development environment and rich application scenarios, understand user intentions through large models, and provide personalized services for each scenario.
At the Huawei Developer Conference, Pangu Model 5.0 will be released, heralding a new trend of end-model integration. This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a leap from early adopter to landing. In the future, human-computer interaction will be more natural, efficient, and better. At the same time, it also brings business opportunities and development space for developers and enterprises.
We should actively embrace change, promote the deep integration of terminals and large models, and create a new era of human-computer interaction. This integration will open a new era of intelligence, convenience and personalization, and lead a new chapter in technology and life.
In the industrial revolution in history, the popularization and application of technology are more important than its birth. Watt's improved steam engine led the industrial revolution through improvement and popularization. Nowadays, as a representative of a new round of industrial revolution, the value of large models lies not only in their technology and parameters, but also in their popularization and application. What really changes the world is the technology that can be widely used. Looking forward to 2024, the large model market may usher in an inflection point, and the transformation from "refining models" to "using models" is crucial. It is necessary to pay attention to scenario-based innovation, promote the integration of large models and various industries, and let more people feel its convenience. We should be open and inclusive, embrace the era of large-scale models, and create a better future together.
