Code Brain | Hongjiang Zhang, Wei Li, and Other Top Experts Gather to Launch Full-Scale AIGC Sharing Series

At the start of 2023, ChatGPT, a brand-new chatbot model, took the global tech world by storm and sent the AIGC track into overdrive.

Source Code Capital previously published an article suggesting that this AIGC wave might conceal enormous opportunities. Unlike previous deep learning waves, the vastly larger model scale has significantly raised the barrier to entry. Smaller companies may prefer to use services directly rather than build their own models, giving AI a chance to become a platform-level service. Meanwhile, as AI capabilities continue to advance, AI applications are increasingly close to concrete business scenarios — fluid, natural conversational bots and surreal, gorgeous image generation have made ordinary individuals part of this technological carnival.

As a foundational technological shift, AIGC may open up a trillion-dollar new market. From applications to models to industry infrastructure, the upstream and downstream of the AI industry chain are throwing open their arms to embrace this exhilarating technological feast...

Recently, we've received numerous inquiries and expressions of interest about AIGC from MaHui entrepreneurs — they are exploring, observing, experimenting... Therefore, Source Code Capital has decided to launch the "Together Toward the Future" AIGC-themed series of talks, inviting technical experts and industry entrepreneurs from China and abroad to share and discuss hot topics including "AIGC Concepts and Business Opportunities," "AIGC's Evolution and Development in the United States," "AIGC Practical Applications: Pain Points and Challenges," and "The Future of AIGC: Focusing on Commercial Applications and Opportunities."

In the first half of 2022, we launched the "Together Toward the Future" series of courses, focusing on business topics entrepreneurs cared about during a special period, with 11 consecutive online sessions. Now, we continue with the original intention behind "Together Toward the Future," hoping to help entrepreneurs at this moment in time gain a clearer, more accurate understanding of this surging technological wave and the future trends behind it.

On February 28 and March 1, we will hold two consecutive AIGC-themed sessions over two days, with special guests who are leading figures from China and abroad:

— Dr. Hongjiang Zhang, Investment Partner at Source Code Capital, Chairman of BAAI, and Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering, formerly Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Asia-Pacific R&D Group and Dean of Microsoft Asia Engineering Institute, will share "The Development and Opportunities of Large Models," focusing on "Why GPT large models are so powerful," "Large models as foundational platforms supporting countless intelligent applications — the 'new electricity' of the future, underpinning the fourth industrial revolution," and "Application prospects and opportunities for large models," interacting with entrepreneurs both online and offline.

— Dr. Wei Li, Senior NLP Architect, Chief Scientist at Trend, and former Vice President of iFlytek AI Research Institute, will share "The Ecosystem and Applications of Large Language Models (LLM) After the Tower of Babel Is Built," focusing on "The completion of humanity's Tower of Babel for language," "ChatGPT is a large language model, not an omniscient knowledge base," and "The ecosystem and applications of large language models (LLM)." Dr. Li will bridge a 16-hour time difference to connect with everyone online from Silicon Valley.

Going forward, we will also organize 2–3 additional online sessions on AIGC topics, and the content will be published on Source Code Capital's WeChat official account — stay tuned!
