BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), a non-profit research institute based in the Chinese capital city Beijing, recently launched China's first super-large-scale intelligent model system called "Wudao 1.0", reported China Securities News Monday.
The system was jointly researched and developed by more than 100 AI scientists from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units.
It has made a number of internationally-leading AI technology breakthroughs, formed a super-large intelligent model training technology system, and trained a series of models including Chinese, multi-modes, cognition, and protein prediction, constructing China's AI application infrastructure.
It's learned that BAAI has been supported by the local government to lead the construction of a super-large AI model training platform, and "Wudao 1.0" is a key part of the platform which aims at promoting the transformation of scientific research paradigms in basic sciences such as electronic information and biomedicine, and speeding up scientific research through the research and development of super-large information intelligent models and life models.
The platform will promote innovative enterprises and individual developers to build application scenarios with higher level of intelligence based on large models, enable intelligent upgrading of the real economy, and promote high-quality economic development.
Beijing will draw on its scientific and technological resources and industrial advantages in the AI field to support the building of a batch of world-class new research and development institutions including BAAI, make forward-looking arrangements for basic research on AI, and strengthen efforts to tackle key and core technologies related to AI, said Xu Xinchao, deputy director with the Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission.
