TapTechNews May 13 news, Bloomberg today published an interview with Kai-Fu Lee. Kai-Fu Lee believes that China needs its own ChatGPT to accelerate people's interest, adoption, and investment in artificial intelligence.
Kai-Fu Lee discussed the ChatGPT moment—for Americans, the ChatGPT moment happened 17 months ago (December 2022, when the chatbot ChatGPT became popular). But he believes that Chinese users have not yet experienced the ChatGPT moment, and until now, domestic chatbots or tools are not good enough.
Kai-Fu Lee revealed the recent situation of his AI company Sinovation Ventures: it is close to profitability. After training models on datasets from both domestic and international sources, Kai-Fu Lee is now taking his models and applications global and signing contracts with clients in China and abroad. This year will be the explosion period for the application of generative AI in China. However, Kai-Fu Lee also said, After GPT-5 comes out, we will lag behind.
Kai-Fu Lee stated that his models were trained on the legally accessible H100s processor in China. You need to be the mother of invention, squeezing everything we can out of existing computational capabilities.
Earlier this month, Kai-Fu Lee's AI company Sinovation Ventures announced the launch of an all-in-one AI work platform called Wanzhi, which can be used to create meeting minutes, weekly reports, interpret financial reports or papers, create PPTs, and can also be used as a writing assistant.
