In 2024, Artificial Intelligence becomes a key focus of national strategy
With vigorous policy support, AI technology is deeply integrating into all aspects of economic development and gradually becoming the core force driving productivity progress. Through a series of action plans, such as “Data Element ×” and “Artificial Intelligence +”, AI technology has gained momentum for accelerated development, offering new opportunities for industrial innovation. The first quarter of this year has witnessed a tremendous leap in AI technology.
Intelligent computing power becomes an important support for the AI industry
As AI computing power and related infrastructure construction, such as data and cloud services, gain importance, industrial innovation is in a rapid development phase. Governments, state-owned enterprises, universities, and research institutions are all increasing their investments, thereby consolidating AI’s foundational status as a supporting element.
AI technological breakthroughs accelerate industry transformation
For example, OpenAI’s Sora large model, which generates long videos through text, has contributed significantly to the technology of large models. The humanoid robot sector has also reached a milestone, with large model-driven robot products beginning to be delivered in small batches, showing a trend towards commercial mass production. At the same time, NVIDIA’s Project GR00T debuted at GTC, showing us the future of robot intelligence and industry applications.
Open source and closed source development models evolve in parallel
In the field of AI, open source and closed source have always been hot topics. With the promotion of multimodal learning and MOE architecture, the enthusiasm of the open-source community continues to rise. At the same time, companies are choosing the appropriate development paths based on their strategic needs, whether they are organizations that continue to adhere to the open-source philosophy or companies that adopt both open and closed source strategies, they are actively exploring.
Detailed evaluations reveal the subtle differences in writing and PPT generation products
In the evaluation of 8 writing and 6 PPT generation products, these AI-assisted creative tools displayed varying degrees of strength in terms of text accuracy, content completeness, and innovativeness. The differentiation in user experience is becoming more evident, showcasing the unique value and applicable scenarios of these tools.
An efficient assistant for teaching and presentations: Evaluative report on PPT production products
In the current information age, PPT production products have become important tools in teaching and work reporting. In response to this phenomenon, the InfoQ Research Center has conducted in-depth tests on 6 PPT production products and provided a detailed analysis. These products are particularly beneficial to junior and intermediate users, as they can help users optimize their content in a structured way and offer convenient layout design operations.
In today’s continuous development of office automation, PPT production tools have evolved from their early role as simple presentation aids to powerful auxiliary tools. They play a supportive and reference role not only in educational assignments, teaching presentations, and internal reporting, but have also become indispensable assistants. This conclusion is based on the evaluation results produced by InfoQ Research Center in April 2024.
It is noteworthy that the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is impacting our daily work and life at an unprecedented speed and scope. The phenomena reflected in the report are just a small part of the entire AI technology wave. InfoQ Research Center will continue to focus on and track the development of AI technology, especially in the areas of large models and AI content generation (AIGC).
We also call upon and encourage industry experts to engage in discussions and debates based on the viewpoints and issues presented in InfoQ’s latest released “Q1 2024 China Large Model Quarterly Monitoring Report”, in order to jointly promote progress in the fields of large models and AIGC in China.
