On the opening forum of the 2024 World Intelligent Industry Expo, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Group, stated in his speech that if big models want to trigger the industrial revolution, they must pull the big models out of the pedestal. For governments and enterprises, embracing big models should take a more specialized path. In the future, the government and enterprises will work with multiple specialized big models. At the same time, issues such as parameters, computing power, costs, response speed, training difficulty, talent requirements, and data security that have previously limited the use of big models in governments and enterprises will be solved. For example, the 360 AI browser is supported by 5 professional small models, and its testing speed is about 100 times faster than that of billion or trillion parameter big models.
Zhou Hongyi also said that big models can only truly play a role when combined with scenarios. The key issue of governments and enterprises using big models is to find "star scenarios", and choose pain points and rigid demand scenarios that can reduce manpower by ten times, reduce costs by ten times, improve efficiency by ten times, and improve experience by ten times in four directions: up, down, inside, and outside.
In response to the industry pain points of constructing a large number of professional big models and consuming a lot of time and effort for training, 360 has summarized eight types of big model infrastructure for enterprise scenarios through more than 100 POCs. Each independent infrastructure has several big models working in it. The eight infrastructure can be freely arranged and combined to meet the specific needs of different business scenarios through simple customization and training. Currently, 360 has helped government and enterprise customers deploy big model infrastructure in industries and scenarios such as Tianjin Offshore Oil Engineering, and has achieved a significant improvement in multiple production efficiency indicators.
Zhou Hongyi introduced that in the future, he hopes that 360's technical capabilities in professional big models can serve the government departments and enterprises in Tianjin, establish a "City Big Model Service Center", create a new model of "model as a service", and drive the development of the big model industry ecology in Tianjin. At the same time, actively promote the "three-one hundred" plan, cooperate with 100 companies, find 100 big model application scenarios, create 100 professional big models, and promote the industrialization of big models in Tianjin.
