On December 18, 2024, ZhiYuan Research Institute signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Tencent Group, aiming for in-depth collaboration in several areas, including large model research and development, exploration of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies, and open-source ecosystem construction. According to the cooperation agreement, ZhiYuan Research Institute and Tencent will leverage their respective strengths to promote the deep integration of large model technology and industrial scenarios, and explore technological solutions for large model training and inference optimization in diverse computing environments. Both parties are also committed to building an open and innovative hardware and software ecosystem to foster the development and application of technologies.

Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) has recently launched the world’s first Chinese large model debate platform, FlagEval Debate. This new platform aims to provide a novel measurement approach for evaluating the capabilities of large language models through a competitive mechanism of model debates. It is an extension of the FlagEval arena for large model combat evaluation services, designed to identify capability differences among large language models.
