“Wen Xin Yi Yan’s user base has exceeded 100 million.” On December 28, Wang Haifeng, Baidu’s Chief Technology Officer and Director of the National Engineering Research Center for Deep Learning Technology and Applications, announced at the 10th WAVE SUMMIT Deep Learning Developer Conference. At the meeting, Wang Haifeng gave a keynote speech titled "Wenxin plus flying paddle, flying to the stars", sharing the latest achievements of flying paddle and Wenxin.
▶ The number of flying paddle developers has reached 10.7 million
The WAVE SUMMIT Deep Learning Developer Conference started in April 2019 and gathers developers twice a year. It has now been held for five years and ten times.
Looking back five years, the conference has witnessed Baidu's forward-looking judgment on artificial intelligence technology and industry trends, guiding the direction of technological innovation and industrial practice. In 2019, Wang Haifeng proposed at the first conference that the deep learning framework is the operating system of the intelligent era. The universal characteristics of deep learning, as well as the development of deep learning frameworks and platforms, promote the standardization, automation and modularization of artificial intelligence and enter the stage of industrial mass production. In 2020, Wang Haifeng proposed building a new AI infrastructure, integrating cloud and intelligence to accelerate industrial intelligence, and upgrading the AI large-scale production platform to a new infrastructure integrating cloud and intelligence, laying a solid foundation for industrial intelligence. In 2021, Wang Haifeng said that artificial intelligence shows the characteristics of "integrated innovation" and "lowering the threshold": on the one hand, there are more and more integrated innovations in AI technology and industry; on the other hand, although AI technology is becoming more and more complex, The threshold for AI development and application is getting lower and lower. In 2022, Wang Haifeng further proposed that the deep learning platform plus large models will connect the entire AI industry chain from hardware adaptation, model training, inference deployment, to scenario application, consolidating the base of industrial intelligence. This year, the emergence of large language models has brought the dawn of general artificial intelligence.
Over the past five years, in the process of continuous technological innovation and industry-enabling development, Feipiao itself has also been continuously upgraded, from a deep learning framework to a platform ecosystem, developing into a technologically advanced and feature-rich industrial-level deep learning open source open platform. Fei Paddle integrates the core framework, basic model library, development kit, tool components, and the Galaxy community to help developers grow. It has a deep learning framework with unified dynamic and static, end-to-end adaptive large-scale distributed training, cloud-edge end-to-end comprehensive Key core technologies such as scene high-performance reasoning.
The Flying Paddle ecosystem is becoming increasingly prosperous. In 2019, the number of developers gathered on the Flying Paddle platform was 1.5 million. By the Wave Summit in August this year, the number had reached 8 million. The number of companies served and the number of models created based on Flying Paddle have also increased rapidly. increase. Wang Haifeng announced the latest achievements of Fei Paddle ecology on site. As of the end of December 2023, Fei Paddle has gathered 10.7 million developers, served 235,000 enterprises and institutions, and created 860,000 models based on Fei Paddle.
▶ Wenxinyiyan’s user base exceeds 100 million, and the number of daily questions is growing rapidly
It is understood that Baidu has been deeply involved in the research and development of pre-training models since 2019 and released Wenxin Large Model 1.0. After nearly four years of accumulation, Baidu took the lead among global technology companies in releasing Wen Xin Yiyan, a knowledge-enhanced large language model, in March this year. In October, Wen Xinyiyan's basic model was upgraded to 4.0, and the four basic artificial intelligence capabilities of understanding, generation, logic and memory were comprehensively improved. The overall effect of Wenxin Large Model 4.0 has improved by 32% in the past two months.
Wang Haifeng revealed on the spot that the number of Wenxin Yiyan users has exceeded 100 million. Since it was allowed to provide services to the public on August 31, the number of questions asked by Wenxin Yiyan users has been increasing, basically in line with the improvement of the Wenxin large model. More and more users are trusting and using Wenxinyiyan.
Wang Haifeng finally said: "In the past five years and ten years, we have worked hard and diligently with all developers. We are willing to continue to work hand in hand with all developers, and with the support of Feipiao and Wenxin, we will go to the star of general artificial intelligence." The sea!”
