Overview of the Development of Domestic Large Models in 2023


Meituan has recently launched a trillion-parameter AI large model test. The model is trained entirely on domestic computing power clusters, marking a significant breakthrough in the application of domestic technology. It is currently only available to invited users and has not been widely released, demonstrating Meituan's leading position in the AI field.
Meta announced the layoff of about 8,000 employees (10% of its workforce) to cope with the high infrastructure and talent costs brought by the transition to artificial intelligence. The move reflects a widespread anxiety in the technology industry: while AI improves efficiency, the expenditure on hardware and top talent is significant, forcing companies to streamline their organizations to maintain profitability. The CEO of Meta had previously warned investors about the pain of the transition.
China Eastern Airlines has partnered with Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, becoming the first domestic large model to be fully integrated into China Eastern's services, ushering in a new era of full-process AI ticket service. This move will streamline the ticket purchasing process, changing the traditional model of relying on OTA platforms or switching apps, and reshaping the airline sales landscape.
OpenAI introduced a free version of ChatGPT for clinicians in the United States, designed to assist with medical documentation, research, and clinical tasks, reducing doctors' administrative burden and allowing them to focus more on patient care.
Beijing's number of large model filings accounts for about 30% of the national total, ranking first, highlighting its leading advantages in policy, talent, technology, and industry ecosystem, and consolidating its position as "China's AI Innovation Source."
