The "China Big Model Top Group Chat Notes" that hit the screen a few days ago must have been seen by many people, including Wang Xiaochuan, founder & CEO of Baichuan Intelligence, Li Kaifu, chairman of Sinovation Ventures and founder of 01Wanyuan, and Zhou Ming, CEO of Lanzhou Technology More than 20 "top leaders" in the model layer, tool layer, and application layer of China's large-scale model field discussed the large-scale model in Xixi Wetland. If you care about large models, this article is well worth a read.
In this discussion, many wonderful views were enlightening. For example, if you pay attention to large models, you need to pay more attention to Infra (the bottom layer of the hardware). The Infra team must be stronger than the Modelling (model) team. For example: Based on open source, you have the opportunity to make good large-scale models. The core is to have relatively leading cognition and the ability to continuously iterate models. For example: from the customer's perspective, "bigness" of large models is not the only pursuit, and it may not even be what customers want at all.
In addition to understanding the hot topics discussed in the "top group chats" in the big model circle, what are the "top group chats" talking about in today's technology circle? What are we discussing?
WOT2023, which will be held in Shenzhen on November 24-25, gives the answer!
What do "top group chats" talk about?
Focusing on AIGC and large models, this WOT conference has set up three related theme forums, including: AIGC empowering business, infrastructure operation and maintenance in the AIGC era, and R&D efficiency in the AIGC era.
Taking the topic forum of infrastructure operation and maintenance in the AIGC era as an example, let's talk about our original intention of setting the topic: In today's large model era, we must face the current situation of resource constraints and rapid growth in scale. At this time, how to do a good job in Infra operation and maintenance is a question. new challenge. In terms of chips, hosts, platforms, systems, scheduling, etc., we will invite practitioners from corresponding companies to share and introduce how to meet the infrastructure operation and maintenance needs of the AIGC era in an efficient manner and at a lower cost.
In addition to the popular AIGC-related forums, in the technology circle, there are some topics that are eternal topics of concern to technical people, such as big data, architecture evolution, cloud native, microservices... We have set up related theme forums around these topics.
These topics include: big data innovation technology, artificial intelligence algorithms and infrastructure, the present and future of microservices, front-end front-end technology and practice, observability practice, architecture evolution, R&D team management practice, cloud native and multi-cloud practice .
Who are the "top group chats"?
As the chief content helmsman of WOT, we plan to invite experts with forward-looking vision and spirit of innovation and change in the field of science and technology to serve as co-chairs.
Mr. Zhou Ming, founder and CEO of Lanzhou Technology, vice chairman of CCF, China Computer Federation, and chief scientist of Innovation Works, has been invited to serve as co-chairman.
Teacher Zhou Ming is a world leader in the field of NLP and one of the scholars who has published the most ACL papers in the world. He served as President of the International Society for Computational Linguistics and Vice President of Microsoft Research Asia.
Focusing on 11 themes, the producers have worked closely with us from the beginning of the conference to polish exciting content.
The producers invited to this WOT have many years of front-line practical experience, and they also have macro perspectives and judgments on the topics they work on. The in-depth output of these producers ensures the quality of the content of this WOT.
