Recently, the "Qimin" large language model for the vertical field of ancient agricultural texts was launched in Beijing. This model was developed by the Key Laboratory of Agricultural Big Data, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Institute of Agricultural Information, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in collaboration with the Hubei Provincial Library, the Library of Huazhong Agricultural University, the School of Communication at Zhengzhou Normal University, and Gu联 (Beijing) Digital Media Technology Co., Ltd. of Zhonghua Book Company.

Dai Xin, Deputy Director of the Institute of Agricultural Information, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, stated that the model is trained on a vast corpus of ancient agricultural texts from China, extracting wisdom from these ancient agricultural books to deeply explore ancient agricultural technologies, farming experiences, and social ecological knowledge. It supports downstream applications such as agricultural knowledge question answering, text automatic processing, and semantic retrieval.

It is understood that the "Qimin" large language model possesses robust natural language processing capabilities, providing precise answers to various agricultural issues such as ancient agricultural cultivation, livestock and poultry farming, farmland water conservancy, and meteorological prediction. Tools based on this large model, such as text automatic processing and semantic retrieval, can offer efficient analytical support for scholars researching ancient society and agriculture using agricultural ancient texts.

ZhiYuan and Tencent Launch Long Text Understanding Benchmark Model LongBench v2

On December 19, 2024, at a press conference, ZhiYuan Research Institute and Tencent announced the launch of LongBench v2, a benchmark designed to evaluate the deep understanding and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in real-world long text multi-task scenarios. The platform aims to advance long text models in understanding and reasoning, addressing the current challenges faced by large language models in practical applications.

AI Unicorn Cohere Deeply Collaborates with Palantir: Enterprise-level AI Applications Emerge

As one of the most watched AI startups outside of OpenAI and Anthropic, Cohere was valued at $5.5 billion in July. One of the company's co-founders is an author of the paper 'Attention Is All You Need,' which is considered critical to sparking the revolution of large language models (LLMs). Headquartered in Toronto and San Francisco, Cohere focuses on providing AI solutions for enterprise clients, rather than pursuing a similar path as other companies.

Meta Launches 'Large Concept Models' (LCMs)! Breaking Through LLM Limitations and Leading a New Direction in AI Language Understanding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made significant progress in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), shining in applications such as text generation, summarization, and question answering. However, the reliance of LLMs on token-level processing (predicting one word at a time) presents some challenges. This method contrasts with human communication, which typically operates at higher levels of abstraction, such as sentences or ideas. Token-level modeling also struggles in tasks that require understanding long contexts and may produce inconsistent outputs.

Meta AI Launches Conceptual Model: A Breakthrough Beyond Traditional Language Models

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress in the field of natural language processing (NLP), widely applicable in scenarios such as text generation, summarization, and question answering. However, these models rely on a token-level processing method that predicts word by word, which struggles with contextual understanding and often leads to inconsistent outputs. Moreover, when scaling LLMs to multilingual and multimodal applications, the computational costs and data requirements tend to be relatively high. To address these issues, Meta AI has proposed a novel approach.
