Huawei Cloud officially releases Pangu Model 3.0. What kind of technological revolution will this bring?

At the Huawei Developer Conference 2023, Huawei put on a strong show. Summarizing the nearly three-hour press conference, it actually highlighted one theme, the release of Pangu Model 3.0.

Pangu Pingan, Managing Director of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud, said: "Pangu Model is a series of large models for industries. We want every industry, every enterprise, and everyone to have their own expert assistants. Make work more efficient and easier.”

What exactly is Pangu Model 3.0?

It has to be said that among the many artificial intelligence companies that are flashy and applause, only Huawei is sober in the world. First of all, the essence of current artificial intelligence is super computing power, not thinking and learning. The basic logic of the Pangu large model is not innovation or learning, but integration and optimization, so as to achieve the improvement and error correction of external numbers. Through Huawei's own huge database and the data accumulated in various industries, it will be integrated to form a better and more efficient industry production method, thereby helping industry customers improve industrial efficiency.

In simple and popular terms, the Pangu large model is positioned as a compilation tool for standardized production management, which can help most industry companies achieve standardized production management and realize automatic iteration, thereby ensuring that it can fully comply with the company's requirements. production and development needs.

What super computing power and huge databases achieve is the ability to correct errors. In the past, when companies formulated standardized production management methods, it took a long time to make corrections and adjustments, which was a waste of time and money. Many companies fell into business crises or even closed down because they failed to adjust in time.

Now through the Pangu large model, the time consumption is measured in milliseconds. The huge database stores a large number of cases to ensure that there will be no errors to the greatest extent. This saves the company a lot of time and money, thereby achieving The purpose of improving business efficiency.

What is unique about Huawei’s Pangu model?

1. It is not just a release model, it is also released together with application cases.

Huawei has been operating in China for so many years and has accumulated a large number of implemented informatization and smart cases in various industries. Now with Pangu, it can be said to be even more powerful. As long as we can find the right scene, we can On the basis of its own original intelligent products, once Pangu's abilities were implanted, the scene immediately became available. Therefore, this release is not just a model release, but also specific application cases in the government affairs, manufacturing, railway, finance, and meteorological industries.

2. Huawei owns hardware and software, and the core of the underlying operating system is all in its own hands.

Due to well-known reasons, Huawei has been subject to many restrictions in both hardware and software. This has forced Huawei to start from scratch, focusing on both software and hardware. But as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes come together. The software, hardware, algorithm and computing power are all made by ourselves. The advantage is that the integration is higher and the coordination is higher. Just like the Apple mobile phone, the software and hardware are made by ourselves, so although it seems that the hardware parameters are not as good as those of top Android phones. It’s a mobile phone, but it’s smoother to use.

Then Huawei’s Ascend AI chip is its own, the Ascend Cloud base that supports AI full-site and technology is also its own, the computing architecture of Yijiu is also its own, and the full-scenario I framework is also its own, and The AI ??development production line models are all his own. It is said that the overall performance is pretty good now, not worse than those mainstream GPU computing platforms. Moreover, Huawei is not only using these for its own use, it has also been opened up and can be used by other AI companies to use large AI models, like It is the same as the Internet and mobile Internet. It is the underlying operating system of a new era. If you have all the core of this underlying operating system in your own hands, then this may be a good thing.

Use this What exactly will Pangu Model 3.0 bring?

If this is in scientific terms, I may not be able to explain it, and you may not understand it either. Let’s give an example.

It is said that with the addition of the Pangu large model, the speed of weather prediction has increased by more than 10,000 times, and the results can be produced in a few seconds. It can be clearly predicted where the typhoon will come from, what time it will come, and when it will leave. This wave of operations Take weather forecasting to a new level.

Huawei’s press conference not only brought about the role of weather prediction model, but no new antibiotics have been discovered in more than 40 years. Since the Pangu Drug Molecular Model, a super antibacterial drug has been found? X, and the drug research and development cycle has been shortened from years to months, research and development costs have been reduced by 70%, and the large model of Pangu Mine can also penetrate into more than 1,000 processes of coal mining.

At the press conference, Tian Qi, chief scientist of Huawei Cloud Artificial Intelligence, said that Huawei Cloud Artificial Intelligence project has been applied in more than 1,000 projects. It is this structure that allows Pangu to quickly be implemented in various industries. . According to them, it usually took five months to develop a large-scale industry model of GPT3 scale in the past, but with this set of tools, the development cycle can be shortened to 1/5 of the original time. At the same time, very small limitations of data in many industries can also be solved. For example, very detailed industries such as building large aircraft can also have large models.

In general, from a Huawei press conference, Huawei’s layout in AI is very profound. They have long begun to think about what AI can really bring to us. In the past six months, although the AI ??industry has received thunderous applause, it is somewhat embarrassing to actually fall to the industry level. This move by Huawei just confirms what Ren Zhengfei said, it is not just Microsoft, an artificial intelligence software platform company, that will be surging in large-scale AI models in the future. The real big era in the AI ??field is still to come.
