Consolidate new artificial intelligence infrastructure and build a prosperous, open and innovative ecosystem
At present, a new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing is developing vigorously, driving a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. As the core basic technology of artificial intelligence, deep learning has strong versatility and presents the characteristics of standardization, automation and modularization. It promotes artificial intelligence to enter the stage of industrial mass production and accelerates the upgrading of industrial intelligence. The “14th Five-Year Plan” lists artificial intelligence as a key frontier field of science and technology, and clearly proposes to build an open source algorithm platform such as a “deep learning framework”.
In the large-scale production stage of artificial intelligence industry, the deep learning platform is connected to the chip and the application, and is in the key core position of the artificial intelligence technology system, which is equivalent to the “operating system in the intelligent era”. With the popularization of deep learning technology and breakthroughs in self-supervised training models, large models have brought a new paradigm of artificial intelligence research and development, enhanced the versatility of artificial intelligence, and further lowered the threshold for artificial intelligence applications. It can be said that the large model combined with the deep learning platform runs through the entire artificial intelligence industry chain from hardware adaptation, model training, inference deployment to scene application. It is the foundation of industrial intelligence and strongly supports technological innovation and industrial intelligent upgrade.
In terms of deep learning platform, Baidu Fei Pao is my country’s first self-developed industrial-level deep learning open source open platform. Flying Paddle System has established a full-process technology system for industrial-level deep learning development, training and deployment. It integrates deep learning framework, industrial-level model library, rich development kits and tool components, and its core technology is internationally leading. Flying Paddle can effectively solve the problems that enterprises face in the process of large-scale application of artificial intelligence technology, the technology development cycle is long, the application landing process is complex, the multi-terminal, multi-platform, and multi-hardware adaptation is difficult, and the artificial intelligence model is getting bigger and bigger. Model training efficiency and other issues, greatly reducing the application threshold and accelerating the process of industrial intelligence.
Up to now, the Paddle Platform has gathered 4.77 million developers and served 180,000 enterprises and institutions. It is the largest deep learning framework and enabling platform in the Chinese market and one of the three major deep learning platforms in the world.
In terms of artificial intelligence large models, the Wenxin industrial-level knowledge-enhancing large model developed by the Flying Paddle Deep Learning Platform can integrate learning from large-scale knowledge and massive data, with better results and higher efficiency. At the same time, Wenxin’s models and tools and methodology are derived from industrial practice and have been verified in industrial practice. At present, there are more than 20 large models in the Wenxin large model series, including basic general large models represented by Pengcheng-Baidu Wenxin, large models in fields such as biological computing, and large models in industries such as power, finance, and aerospace. Wait. The Wenxin model will continue to lower the threshold, speed up industrial application, and make artificial intelligence technology benefit everyone.
Technological innovation and industrial development, in the final analysis, depend on talents. Gathering forces from all walks of life, cultivating artificial intelligence compound talents with both professional knowledge and industrial practical experience in an all-round and multi-level, and giving play to the leading role of talents will help stimulate innovation vitality and promote ecological prosperity. Flying Paddle cooperates with universities, research institutes, enterprises, etc. to provide learning and training platforms, build developer communities, cultivate artificial intelligence concepts, and enrich industrial application practices. It has trained more than 2 million talents for my country’s artificial intelligence technology and industry. , which verifies the strong driving force of the interaction of technology, talents and innovation.
