Recently, iFlytek, a leading Chinese technology company, answered investor questions on an interactive platform, revealing its latest advancements in domestic computing power and sparking widespread attention. iFlytek stated that with only 10,000 domestically produced 910B computing cards, they have joined the first echelon of large model development. This achievement is remarkable, as competitors often require significantly more computing power in this field.
iFlytek's success stems from years of continuous optimization and innovation of limited computing resources. In the increasingly fierce competition for computing power, many companies rely on international giants like Nvidia, while iFlytek chose the more challenging path of using entirely domestically produced computing power. This strategy not only demonstrates their unwavering commitment to independent research and development but also reflects their confidence in their technical capabilities and strategic courage.
It's worth noting that the computing power demands for training large models are far more complex and challenging than for inference. While some companies have announced the ability to perform large model inference services on domestic computing platforms, iFlytek is the only company to achieve both training and inference capabilities on a domestic platform. This signifies not only a technological breakthrough but also underscores its leading position in the industry.
iFlytek's latest research project, "Starfire X1," is also progressing rapidly, with an expected completion within the next three months. This new version will further enhance its performance in mathematics problem-solving and chain-of-thought reasoning, aiming to surpass the capabilities of international competitors like OpenAI. With the continuous improvement of domestic computing platforms, iFlytek is poised to play an even more significant role in future technological development.
iFlytek's innovation in domestic computing power not only demonstrates the feasibility of the technology but also provides a new development path for the entire industry. We look forward to seeing more breakthroughs from domestic companies in the future.
