The big model of artificial intelligence has set off a wave, which will certainly be a big change in the history of technology. The leaders are already fast and far ahead, how can the latecomers catch up quickly?

On April 8, the AI Large Model Technology Summit Forum hosted by CAAI was held in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, China. Experts from industry, academia, research and investment joined hands to create a heavyweight communication event focusing on “large model”, attracting over 4.99 million viewers from multiple platforms . The forum, which lasted for two days, consisted of nine specific reports and five thematic forums. With ChatGPT, GPT-4 and other popular large models as references, it comprehensively sorted out the hot spots of large model technology, showcased the application of large model , and helped gain insight into the future of intelligent industry, thereby providing constructive references for  the government, enterprises, the education sector, venture capital and startups as well as industry stakeholders.

A transboundary and tight convergence of forces
