Baidu CEO Says More Than 70 Large AI Language Models Released in China

More than 70 large artificial intelligence language models with over 1 billion parameters have been released in China, Baidu CEO Robin Li told an industry event in Beijing on Tuesday. From a report: Baidu joins several other Chinese companies that launched AI chatbots last week after securing regulatory approval for mass market releases. These include facial recognition firm SenseTime and AI startups Baichuan Intelligent Technology, Zhipu AI, and MiniMax. Li said the latest version of Baidu's AI chatbot, Ernie 3.5, has processing speed twice that of the previous version with 50% improved efficiency. Li also revealed that Baidu will launch a new version in the near future.

Yet more avenues of approach to rule the lives of Chinese citizens. Soon the CCP will be replaced by AI Overlords who have even less sympathy for their plight. Instead of slaving away to pay for the Party Bosses' decadent lifestyles, they will now slave away to keep the grid charged and software running.

And all 70 are being deployed as propaganda bots.

This happened for a game called "Leviathans" years ago.
They made a historically accurate to the time period map of the world.
