At the 2024 Baidu Create AI Developer Conference held today, Shen Dou, Executive Vice President of Baidu Group and President of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Group, announced the successful launch of a new generation of intelligent computing operating system called Wan Yuan. This innovative achievement signifies a major breakthrough for Baidu in the field of artificial intelligence. It is reported that Wan Yuan achieves the ultimate utilization of existing computing resources at the kernel level and allows users to freely choose different chip combinations to maximize computing power utilization and flexibility. This feature sets Wan Yuan apart in the industry and becomes a new driving force for the development of intelligent computing. At the model level, Wan Yuan covers leading language models such as ERNIE 4.0 and 3.5, as well as the ERNIE Speed/Lite/Tiny series of lightweight models, providing users with a wide range of choices. In addition, the TextHeart visual model and some other distinctive third-party models are also included, fully meeting the diverse needs of users in different business scenarios. It is worth mentioning that Wan Yuan also introduces the powerful tool called Qian Fan ModelBuilder, which makes model management, scheduling, and secondary development in the kernel easy. Through ModelBuilder, users can achieve a dual optimization of efficiency and cost by reducing an average of 30% of inference costs while maintaining comparable effectiveness. Above the model layer, Wan Yuan also builds a complete tool layer, relying on development tools such as Baidu AppBuilder and AgentBuilder, further lowering the threshold for developers to develop AI-native applications. These tools make it easier for developers to create and deploy AI applications, meeting the diverse demands of the market. Shen Dou stated at the conference that Wan Yuan, as an intelligent computing operating system in the AI-native era, is committed to providing users with a minimalist development experience, intelligent system kernel, and efficient heterogeneous computing power. The launch of this system will further promote the application and development of artificial intelligence technology in various fields, leading a new chapter in the AI-native era. The release of Wan Yuan marks Baidu's continuous innovation and breakthroughs in the field of intelligent computing, providing developers with a more powerful and flexible tool platform. With the continuous development of AI technology, it is believed that Baidu will continue to lead the industry trend and make greater contributions to the popularization and application of artificial intelligence.
