Recently, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, the Zhongguancun Management Committee, and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission jointly launched the "Beijing General Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Partnership Program" (hereinafter referred to as the "Partnership Program").
The launch of the partnership program marks that Beijing has become the first region in the country to issue targeted support policies for the large-scale model industry.

Why start an affiliate program?
The large model referred to in the partner program is a pre-trained large model based on massive data. Its signature feature is the "emergence" of excellent context learning and complex reasoning capabilities that the original algorithm model does not have, which significantly enhances artificial intelligence. Versatility and generalization.
Based on the fine-tuning of small samples in subdivided fields based on large models, industry-oriented proprietary models can be developed. Using this new production tool can greatly improve the production efficiency of the industry.
It can be said that technological breakthroughs represented by large models have significantly lowered the threshold for artificial intelligence to empower thousands of industries, indicating that artificial intelligence technology will be widely used in various fields and promote industrial upgrading and transformation.
The industrial era of artificial intelligence is coming!
The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held on April 28 clearly pointed out that it is necessary to attach importance to the development of general artificial intelligence and create an innovative ecology.
The first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Commission on May 5 once again emphasized the need to grasp the wave of new technological revolutions such as artificial intelligence.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, Beijing has more than 1,000 core artificial intelligence enterprises, covering AI chips, deep learning frameworks, image speech semantic recognition and other fields. Considering the extremely high requirements of the large-scale model industry for innovative elements such as data, AI talents, and technology, Beijing has the foundation, conditions, and responsibility to accelerate the creation of a source of artificial intelligence technology innovation and a highland for industrial development.

What is the affiliate program?
The notice issued by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology has detailed instructions. (Notice link: https://www.beijing.gov.cn/ywdt/gzdt/202305/t20230519_3108386.html)
The overall goal of the partnership program : By 2025, basically form a general artificial intelligence industry development pattern with complete elements, leading technology, complete ecology, and strong support for the high-quality development of the digital economy.
The "Partnership Program" aims to build an open cooperation platform for large-scale artificial intelligence models, establish a collaborative cooperation mechanism, find common points of interest and the greatest common divisor, and promote collaborative cooperation among partners to achieve abundant resource supply, independent innovation of technology, effective application implementation, and cooperation. A healthy development trend with flexible mechanisms.
Specifically divided into five types of partners , namely computing power partners, data partners, model partners, application partners and investment partners.
According to their own business types, various market entities can assume one or more partner roles.
In order to achieve the overall goal, the partnership plan also proposes eight major tasks as support, which are to speed up meeting the urgent demand for computing power in the near future, improve the supply capacity of computing power in the medium and long term, launch a batch of high-quality training data, plan to build a national data training base, and Model application innovation benchmarking pilot projects, promoting large models to empower thousands of industries, cultivating new paradigms of software development, and large model underlying supporting technology foundation projects.
Among them, a project closely related to people's livelihood in the application innovation benchmarking pilot project has been launched, which is the first large-scale government service model development project in Beijing. The project will take the lead in realizing large-scale technology empowerment around government consultation, policy services, handling of complaints, and government affairs.

Why start the affiliate program now?
Since the release of ChatGPT, leading artificial intelligence companies have followed up. Baidu, Ali, and Zhipu Huazhang have taken the lead in launching self-developed large-scale model products nationwide and opened internal testing. They have certain industry migration and empowerment capabilities. Large-scale model competitions Dao's enthusiasm for venture capital investment is high.
However, all industries are still exploring how to make full use of the existing large-scale model foundation, give full play to the advantages of scenarios, and form an industrial ecology of general artificial intelligence.
After comprehensive analysis and judgment, the Municipal Bureau of Economics and Information Technology and other departments believe that while accelerating the independent research and development of underlying technologies, the application of large models should be promoted as soon as possible to promote research and production.
However, market entities often face problems such as insufficient computing power resources, low data quality, and insufficient openness of scenarios when applying large models.
At this time, the government supports the creation of a better platform and environment, gathers upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain, and promotes cooperation among multiple parties such as technology, resources, and scenarios, which will help promote the development and application of large models.
In the end, after extensive consultation with various parties, the partnership program dedicated to accelerating the implementation of the large-scale model industry was formally formed.
This is the right time for the general artificial intelligence industry, which is in the critical period of technological breakthroughs and the introduction period of the industry!
