Recently, major Internet companies in China are setting off a boom in large models. To make this boom last longer and more exciting, it is inseparable from the contributions of Internet giants.
For example, last week, Sogou's Wang Xiaochuan and Baidu's Xiao Yang, the scene where the two Internet giants fought each other across the air, once made everyone feel very interesting.
The thing is, Wang Xiaochuan, the founder of Sogou, and Xiao Yang, the vice president of Baidu Group and the head of the search platform, had a verbal battle on the gap between the development of domestic large-scale models and OpenAI.
The reason was that when 36Kr interviewed Wang Xiaochuan, he mentioned Robin Li's remarks. Li Yanhong once said that the gap between Baidu's Wenxin Yiyan and OpenAI may only be two months. And Wang Xiaochuan said, "You may be interviewing him in a parallel universe, not our world." He believes that this gap cannot be only two months, unless it is in another universe.
Xiao Yang, Baidu's vice president, couldn't help responding to these remarks, bluntly saying that Wang Xiaochuan has been away from the front line for too long, and he is indeed not in the same universe as them.
Seeing this, I guess everyone will smile. I thought that the two Internet giants were starting to fight, and there was a good show to watch.

To be honest, I think it's a good thing for the big guys to fight. Why do you say that?
The reason is that the mutual hatred of the bosses has re-boiled the entire Internet industry. Think back, how long has it been since the Internet has had such an interesting phenomenon?
Look at what Baidu said, didn't Sogou still want to defeat Baidu? You, a supporting role, also want to be the protagonist, and you still say that we are not in the same universe?
How provocative is it? Isn't it interesting to watch?
Apparently, the big guys were forced to roll up the mockups.
Affected by ChatGPT, major domestic Internet giants and start-up companies have also begun to publish large-scale layout models.
For example, Wenxin Yiyan, which was first released by Baidu, is at least the first in China, although it has caught up with GPT-4.
The former Internet veterans are not to be outdone. For example, Wang Huiwen started a business with 50 million US dollars, claiming to make China's OpenAI;
Up to now, major companies have made efforts, such as Wang Xiaochuan's Baichuan Intelligence, Ali's Tongyi Qianwen, SenseTime's SenseTime's new large-scale model, Kunlun Wanwei's "Tiangong" 3.5...
For details, please see the following picture:
Leaving aside the name, I can't appreciate it.
But with the speed at which it rolls up to everyone, it can be seen with the naked eye that the Internet bigwigs are all concentrating on this area.
You just need to see that everyone rolls up, and we don't need to stand aside to see who rolls out the products that are easy to use.

Why is everyone working so hard to win?
The reason is simple, and they don't want to miss this wave of new opportunities.
ChatGPT brought by OpenAI has made many people see the great potential of generative AI.
The actions of major domestic companies have also fully demonstrated that at this moment, the era of generative AI technology has opened.
The essence of everyone rolling up is because generative AI technology is full of uncertainties.
That is to say, no one knows what it will eventually develop into, what kind of result it will bring, whether it will make mankind move further towards civilization, or regress and destroy.
Even the so-called leader OpenAI, they don't know.
Since no one can clearly delineate the roadmap of AI technology at the moment, it means that this game is relatively fair.
Even if there is a gap in technological development, everyone is relatively fair in the overall direction.
Therefore, you must exert strength, you must roll it up, whether it is speed or technique, you must roll it out.
It is precisely because this field is full of uncertainties and challenges that more people have the opportunity to come back.
Otherwise, why would the big bosses who could have withdrawn from the arena and lived a contented life want to get involved again?
Isn't it just the idea of giving it a go and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle?
Even if it fails in the end, it’s okay to say, at least I’ve been here!

In this possible new revolution, everyone should notice that many bigwigs were actually supporting roles in the Internet.
Who is the protagonist? BAT, but today, or in the context of the era of generative AI technology, who will be the new BAT after that is already a question mark.
Generative AI technology is very likely to reshuffle the original Internet order.
It puts all companies on the same starting line.
No matter which industry, which application, which service...it can all be redone under generative AI.
Companies that are the first to release large language model services or basic model services will naturally have a first-mover advantage in acquiring customers and exploring scenarios.
Then the boss, who was only a supporting role before, has the opportunity to stand in the front.
The original Internet order has a chance to be reshuffled and restarted.
This is the fundamental reason why big factories are desperately rolling.
Of course, this wave of innovation is not limited to major Internet companies. For some small and medium-sized companies and some start-up companies, there are also opportunities to work hard in this direction.
Just need to change the way of thinking.
After all, making AI large-scale models is a very expensive project. Large companies have money to burn, and small companies can burn themselves.
So it is very important to change the way of thinking.
Since this general direction can be relatively determined, as some entrepreneurs, under this general background, they should think about what they should do.
Similarly, many individuals also have to think about what they should learn in this context, so as not to be kicked out in the end.
These are what we should think about when we are eating melons and watching big shots fighting.
