Sina Technology News On the morning of May 23, it was reported that at the main forum of "Viva Technology" held in Paris, France, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li and the chairman of the board of supervisors Maurice Levi of Publicis Group said that the biggest difference between Chinese AI and the West lies in the application. China has hundreds of basic models, But people are increasingly discussing what is the super application in the AI era. He said that applications have driven the rapid development of AI in China.
"Many people are paying attention to the release time of GPT-5, but I am more interested in which applications can make full use of all the capabilities of the big language model." Li Yanhong said that in China, both start-ups and Internet giants are trying to find PMF (product market fit), and are committed to exploring the best use of generative AI capabilities An application form that can be used by billions of people.
He said, for example, that in the era of mobile Internet, there are a large number of super applications with DAUs reaching hundreds of millions or even billions; But in the era of artificial intelligence, no matter in the United States, Europe or China, super applications with more than 100 million days of life have not yet been born. "What is the most likely form of super application? It is a chat robot , or Copilot. It's not clear yet. "
Li Yanhong introduced that since its launch last year, Wenxin Yiyan has reached 200 million cumulative users, and tens of millions of users are using the AI functions of Baidu Search, Baidu Library and other applications every day. With the rapid growth of these users, the new AI application form will gradually take shape, becoming a super application with more than 100 million DAUs. "The future is very different from what we see today."
In Li Yanhong's view, focusing on applications is not to ignore the development of basic models. On the contrary, AI applications and the development of basic models complement each other.
"The progress of applications can promote the innovation of basic models, and also help accelerate the transformation from the Internet era to the era of artificial intelligence." Digital person For example, after the application end obtains the real user needs and problems, it can continuously feedback the model, and thus promote the technical iteration of the basic model.
In terms of data training of the basic model, Li Yanhong said that after the birth of super applications, it can also promote the generation of a large number of data and provide more abundant training data for the large model. "Some people say that as the model parameters become larger and larger, we will soon use up all the existing data, but I think that when super applications are born, data will be generated in large quantities, so I am not worried."
