Lanzhou technology Mencius big model focuses on vertical professional track

Lanzhou Technology made its debut in WAIC with Mencius GPT model, and discussed the trends, opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence development with the world’s top artificial intelligence experts and industry leaders. At the same time, Dr. Zhou Ming, founder and CEO of Lanzhou Technology, delivered a speech entitled "How Big Models Empower Thousands of Industries" at the "MaaS: A New Model-Centered AI Development Paradigm" forum, deeply analyzing the practice and future development trend of big models and AIGC.

Lanzhou Technology booth focuses on Mencius GPT model, focusing on vertical fields and professional racetracks, and focusing on the realization of responsible, safe, controllable and more powerful general model (L1), industry model (L2) and function engine (L3). The L1-L2-L3 three-level service system for B-terminal landing has attracted a lot of attention and consultation from the audience and the media. At the same time, at the invitation of the organizer of the artificial intelligence conference, Lanzhou Technology also showed the latest achievements and progress of Mencius big model technology in the special theme exhibition area "Towards General Artificial Intelligence".

In the era of global intensive and active innovation, NLP technology has entered the stage of industrialization and implementation. Artificial intelligence represented by the big model is promoting a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation to accelerate the evolution, bringing about the leap-forward development of cognitive intelligence technology. Lanzhou Technology proposed a three-level service system of Mencius Big Model "L1-L2-L3". Based on the general big model, it added industry knowledge to build an industry model, and then based on the industry model, it integrated common tasks, from the general model to the industry model, and then to the specific scene model of the enterprise, thus further providing better enterprise services.

At present, the large-scale model has become the "highland" of global scientific and technological competition. The large-scale model has gradually become more subdivided, more vertical and more professional from its initial spelling power and scale. With the arrival of the new technology era, entity enterprises can’t wait to embrace the big model technology, promote the intelligent upgrade of design, sales and service, and improve the efficiency of production, operation and management. Whether or not to have a big model will become an important watershed between technology giants and other technology platform enterprises. In the future, the basic big model may present a fierce competition pattern. As the focus of the industry’s eyes, it will eventually become a new generation of traffic portals.
