1. Examples of AI application

The Chinese milk brand “Feihe” used Baidu’s native AI marketing tool rebuilt on the basis of “Wenxinyiyan”. An “official Feihe intelligent assistant” was created based on a brand intelligent agent. It provides more accurate and personalized services to users in the form of multi-turn conversations.

Wenxinyiyan and ChatGPT are both natural language processing models based on deep learning techniques. Computational power depends on training data and model size. The more training data and the larger the model size, the stronger its ability to handle problems.
