◎ Liu Qingfeng believes that the implementation of large models has entered deep water fields more complex. “When we launch a new model, there must be a corresponding view that everyone can see and see. We have unlocked most of the basic capabilities and we always improving to benchmark against the best in the world.”

On October 24, at the opening ceremony of the “7th World Acoustic Expo and 2024 iFlytek Global 1024 Developer Festival”, Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFlytek (SZ002230, stock price 44.81 yuan, market value 103.6 billion yuan), made the announcement officially. Flying Spark 4.0 Turbo.
“Daily Economic News” reporters immediately learned that the latest version of the big model released this time has seven major capabilities that exceed GPT-4 Turbo, mathematics and coding capabilities that ‘ pass GPT-4o, and 14 mainstream tests in Chinese and English at home and abroad have achieved 9 points. At the same time, the domestic ultra-scale intelligent computing platform “Feixing 2” jointly built by iFlytek, Huawei, and Hefei Big Data Asset Operation Co., Ltd. was officially launched.

Math and coding capabilities are superior to GPT-4o
The reporter immediately learned that iFlytek Spark Model 4.0 Turbo surpassed GPT-4o in terms of math capabilities and coding capabilities. In 14 mainstream test sets released by domestic and foreign authoritative entities such as the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and OpenAI, covering various types of tasks such as comprehension and reasoning, comprehensive tests, mathematics and science, and coding, iFlytek Spark 4.0 Turbo is rated in 9 of them The test is centralized to achieve cross-fertilization, and the efficiency is improved relatively by 50%.
The CAppliedMath-1.0 test set is built around practical math tasks. investigations, and self-reflection Through the evaluation and validation of other algorithms, it is expected that the high-difficulty mathematical capabilities of large models similar to OpenAI o1 will be significantly improved by the end of this year.
iFlytek also demonstrated major module advancements in multi-module interoperability capabilities. iFlytek Spark 4.0 Turbo is understood to have upgraded its multi-modal capabilities to its original high-fidelity, full-duplex, multi-language and multi-dialect capabilities, and added super-anthropomorphic and personalized capabilities to produce voice, video, graphics, Multimodal interaction that connects all text.
In addition, the conference also revealed a large multilingual model of Spark, in addition to Chinese and English, which supports 8 languages including Russian, Japanese, German and French. The MMT-Eval-1.0 test set was constructed based on practical task situations.

On the product hardware side, Xinghuo’s all-in-one smart office device, VIAS smart human-computer interaction effect evaluator, and iFlytek’s multilingual AI translation transparent screen were also unveiled at the conference .
Large models enter the deep water application area
At this time, different companies are doing their best to overcome the problems of trading large models and find appropriate ways of monetization.
In Liu Qingfeng’s opinion, we have now entered a new era of large-scale model implementation that combines general models with professional models, professional models with cloud models, and software with hardware.
“When we launch a new model, there needs to be a consistent look that everyone can see and touch. Next, we take the next step. We have unlocked most of the core capabilities and continue to improve the benchmark against the best in the field. We need to be the best in the world for real application scenarios and continue to expand the range of languages.”
In the first half of this year, iFlytek received an operating income of 9.325 billion yuan Although it increased year after year, its net profit turned from profit to loss. At the performance preparation meeting, Liu Qingfeng clearly proposed the idea of strategic focus, cutting off unprofitable small businesses and expanding strategic businesses.
At this press conference, he said that between January and September this year, the GMV (gross merchandise volume) of iFlytek’s Xinghuo smart hardware rose 50% year on year As of October 23, the “Double 11” omni-renewal promotion. The GMV channel increased by 280% annually.
Liu Qingfeng also revealed that iFlytek will take the lead in establishing an AI fund and use 500 million yuan in venture capital to promote a large-scale model and entrepreneurial promotion related to artificial intelligence. iFlytek strives to help entrepreneurs provide viable implementations in this way.
In addition, at the press conference, the domestic ultra-scale intelligent computing platform “Feixing 2” jointly built by iFlytek, Huawei, and Hefei Big Data Asset Operation Co., Ltd. was officially launched.
