Baidu announced that it hasArtificial Intelligence Chatbot "Wenxin Yiyan",CurrentlyOpen to everyone, and its application functions can also be expanded through plug-ins.
According to Baidu's previous explanation, "Wenxin Yiyan" is built on the Wenxin (ERNIE) semantic understanding platform, and is trained based on trillions of web page data, billions of search data and image data, tens of billions of daily voice call data, and 5500 billion fact-related knowledge graphs.
In order to further improve the operating speed of "Wenxin Yiyan", Baidu said it has increased the computing power of its Shanxi Yangquan Intelligent Computing Center to 400 petaflops, and will work with Baidu's other computing centers to promote the operation of "Wenxin Yiyan" services.
In addition, "Wenxin Yiyan" can also output text, pictures, sounds, or video content according to user needs, and claims to be able to correspond to literary creation, commercial copywriting, mathematical calculations, and Chinese comprehension. It can also correspond to multi-mode operation modes, thereby automatically generating needs for various types of content.
In an earlier public statement, Baidu stated that the training data throughput of "Wenxin Yiyan" has increased by more than three times compared to when it was announced in March, and it is now better able to cope with data analysis and process visual content such as images.
With the rise of automated artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the Chinese government recently announced regulations for the development of AI services. These regulations stipulate that AI-generated content must conform to socialist values and undergo vetting before being used. Baidu was one of the first companies to receive approval, demonstrating that while the government maintains tight control over AI applications, it also wants domestic companies to develop technologies that can compete with overseas competitors.
