From September 7th to 8th, the 2023 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Conference was held grandly in Shenzhen. APUS, a large AI model company, attended the conference. APUS Vice President Deng Xiaobo signed a strategic cooperation with Tencent on the spot. Both parties will focus on their respective advantages in ICT infrastructure and big business. Carry out extensive and in-depth cooperation in model ecological construction and other fields. In addition, Deng Xiaobo was also invited to participate in the conference's "Internet AIGC Application Special" roundtable forum, where he conducted special discussions with leading companies in the industry on "seizing AIGC opportunities" and provided on-site "advice" for large-scale models to empower hundreds of industries and industries.
The outbreak of AIGC has made people deeply amazed by the progress of general artificial intelligence, and they also see the huge potential for industrial change. In April this year, APUS marked its comprehensive transformation into artificial intelligence with the launch and application of the hundreds of billions-level multi-modal large model APUS large model. APUS's large model parameters have reached hundreds of billions, and it has the ability to understand and generate text, images, videos, and audios. It has been open to C-end users through 7 artificial intelligence products such as Intelligent Question and Answer Master. At the same time, smart customer service is implemented in parallel. , smart medical care, smart network information, smart judgment and other industrial application scenarios.
APUS believes that the development of large models relies on four major elements: computing power, algorithms, data and scenario applications. In addition to continuing to promote the operation of the "Global Digital Gene Bank" and improving the capabilities of six major platforms including global distributed data centers, big data storage and computing platforms, and artificial intelligence computing platforms, APUS has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the construction of enterprise-level intelligent computing centers. , the current peak computing power has reached 360 PFlops, and will reach more than 500 PFlops within the year, building a solid foundation for APUS's own underlying infrastructure.
At the same time, Tencent is using cloud services to provide base support for large models. In terms of data and algorithms, through database construction and operation and high-performance computing network, Tencent has significantly improved the efficiency of data access to large models and the communication of large models. The new generation HCC high-performance computing cluster can upgrade optimization and scenarios for large models. The application provides massive computing power services. The cooperation between the two parties in the field of ICT infrastructure will further build the technical foundation of the APUS large model, while enriching Tencent's cloud computing industry with AI capabilities and jointly drawing an innovative picture of "digital intelligence integration".
Within the strategic cooperation framework between APUS and Tencent Cloud, the two parties will combine the products and service scenarios of ecological partners, innovatively cooperate with "digital intelligence" integration capabilities, jointly create AI industry solutions, and will collaborate to participate in multiple projects to build The overall principle is to "exchange what is needed", actively promote technology integration and resource linkage, continuously expand diversified forms of cooperation, and work together to build a large model ecosystem to achieve value co-creation and empower hundreds of industries.
In addition, based on the international influence of APUS, whose "products and services have spread to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, with a cumulative user base of over 2.4 billion" and Tencent's global business advantages, the two parties will also cooperate in the field of overseas traffic to further promote each other. Develop overseas businesses and strengthen global business capabilities.
