In a remarkable alliance, global semiconductor frontrunner MediaTek, smartphone technology powerhouse OPPO, and the robust operating system ColorOS have intertwined their expertise to foster a lightweight large model end-side AI deployment agenda. This pioneering consortium aspires to pioneer the seamless assimilation of large language model proficiencies right at the device’s terminus, heralding a new era of On-device Generative AI.
Pioneering a Comprehensive Terminal-Side AI Ecosystem
MediaTek, revered for its commanding stance in semiconductor technology infused with AI, in conjunction with OPPO's avant-garde smartphone tech, are on the verge of reshaping the contours of artificial intelligence deployment. At the heart of this novel ecosystem is MediaTek’s stellar AI processor APU and its AI development platform, NeuroPilot. These technological assets lay down the infrastructure for an exhaustive terminal-side AI and generative AI computing arena. The resultant ecosystem is not just a giant leap towards accelerating the development and enactment of edge AI computing, but it also amplifies the performance metrics of large language models and generative AI applications.
AndesGPT: A Formidable Contender in Large Language Model Sphere
One of the standout deliverables of this synergy is the unveiling of AndesGPT, an OPPO’s autonomous training generative large language model. In a striking accomplishment, AndesGPT clinched a coveted spot in the SuperCLUE top ten basic ability list, scoring an impressive 98.33 in the "knowledge and encyclopedia" niche. This score propels it to a strong second position, trailing only behind the illustrious GPT-4.
Advancing Smartphone Interaction through Generative AI
The alliance doesn’t stop here. OPPO has propelled the collaboration into a new dimension by initiating a fresh round of public beta testing for their AI Assistant Boo 1.0 Beta, a brainchild of the AndesGPT large model. To dip into this testing phase, users are required to have ColorOS 13 or above. The revamped AI Assistant, christened Boo, promises a superior semantic comprehension and the prowess to concoct responses based on user prompts. Furthermore, summarization along with other AI capabilities are set to receive a significant boost.
This partnership underscores a burgeoning trend in the smartphone domain, where an array of manufacturers are engaged in a fierce competition to embed generative AI voice assistants as a cornerstone feature in their gadgets. The in-device integration of large language models, accentuating efficiency and precision, is predicted to overhaul our interaction paradigms with smartphones, rendering them more intelligent and user-friendly. With the consolidated acumen of MediaTek, OPPO, and ColorOS, the horizon of end-side AI computing is beaming with immense potential.
This collaborative venture between MediaTek and OPPO is a testament to the boundless possibilities that lie in the confluence of semiconductor and smartphone technology, setting a precedent for others in the industry to follow suit.
