Beijing Baidu Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute announced today the formal signing of a strategic cooperation agreement, under which the two sides will engage in deep collaboration in large model and other fields, jointly constructing an AI industry-research collaborative ecosystem. Baidu has been comprehensively laying out its artificial intelligence strategy since 2010 and is one of the few companies globally that has fully integrated its AI efforts, from Kunlun chips, PaddlePaddle deep learning platform, Wenxin large model to applications.
On September 4, 2024, the Beijing ZhiYuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (BAAI) announced the launch of the world's first model combat evaluation service featuring text-to-video, called FlagEval Large Model Arena. This service is open to users and covers approximately 40 large models from both domestic and international sources, supporting customizable online or offline evaluations for four major tasks: language Q&A, multimodal image and text understanding, text-to-image, and text-to-video.
The Zhiyuan Research Institute recently released three new vector models that excel in vector retrieval tasks and have set new best standards across multiple evaluation benchmarks. The three models are: BGE-EN-ICL: an English vector model that enhances the model's semantic expression capabilities by introducing task-related query-document examples as few-shot examples.
Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, in collaboration with China Telecom Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, has launched an upgraded version of the Tele-FLM series of large models, including the 52B instruction model FLM-2-52B-Instruct and the trillion-parameter model Tele-FLM-1T. The FLM-2-52B-Instruct focuses on enhancing Chinese conversational abilities through instruction fine-tuning, achieving 90% of GPT-4's capabilities, based on the Tele-FLM-52B base model, utilizing specific datasets and parameter optimization.
