Alibaba's DAMO Academy (Lakeside Laboratory) has announced a significant breakthrough in Beijing: the 'Baguan' meteorological big model developed based on global meteorological models. This innovative model, named 'Baguan' (meaning 'Insight from All Directions, Observing All Phenomena'), elevates weather forecasting accuracy to unprecedented levels. The most remarkable feature of this meteorological big model is its ultra-high accuracy. By integrating multi-source regional data, the model achieves an ultra-fine prediction resolution of 1 km × 1 km × 1 hour. In practical applications, this model predicts key meteorological indicators with greater accuracy compared to traditional forecasts.

Baidu Intelligent Cloud showcased its latest advancements in the traffic big model sector at the 2024 China International Big Data Industry Expo. By integrating with Baidu's traffic big data, it significantly enhanced the efficiency of omni-directional signal control, improving traffic flow by 20-30%. In the pilot project in Guiyang's Guanshanhu District, the application of AI signal control technology led to a 15% reduction in average weekday vehicle delay. This system integrates internet and local traffic police data to predict traffic flow distribution within 5 minutes and dynamically adjusts traffic light durations to optimize green light utilization.
