So it rivals GPT-3, then, applying a correction for Chinese truth in advertising.

High chance they started with LLaMA and then built it out a bit.

This reminds me of when they announced that "home-grown Chinese OS" and it was just customized ubuntu

Exactly. China, to my understanding, has great simple or simple-ish manufacturing but doesn't really have a robust high-tech sector yet, and is almost a joke when it comes to basic research.

They for sure have massive training data sets available.

Who knows....

LLaMa then running through a text translation, causing nonsensical responses and hilarious screenshots to flood Wechat. There is no new technology here. Just free tools glued together.

Baidu is a frontrunner among a slew of Chinese companies racing to come up with artificial intelligence models, after OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm last year.

Beijing sees artificial intelligence as a key industry to rival the United States and aims to become a global leader by 2030.

Beijing-based Baidu started off as a search engine firm and over the past decade has invested heavily in artificial intelligence technology such as autonomous driving and more recently, generative AI to stay competitive.

Baidu’s search engine might generate a customized answer to a query instead of just providing a list of results and links.

China has recently sought to regulate the generative AI industry, requiring companies to carry out security reviews and obtain approvals before publicly launching their products.
