LLMs是什么

LLMs（Large Language Models，大语言模型）是经过海量文本数据训练、能够理解和生成人类自然语言的深度学习人工智能系统。

一个博学多才的“超级大脑”。它通过学习互联网上的巨量文字、代码和知识，掌握了语言的规律，能像人类一样进行对话、写作、翻译和编程。

ChatGPT、Claude或Google的Gemini。这些都是由一种叫做大型语言模型或LLM的技术驱动的。

It is what Andrew Ng, a Stanford University-Based AI boffin, recently called the “Darwinian life-or-death struggle” among builders of China’s more open large language models (LLMs).

近期斯坦福大学的AI专家吴恩达将中国这场更开放的LLMs开发者的竞争称之为“达尔文似的生存竞争。”

But call them what you will, on a variety of intelligence tests Chinese models released this year have outperformed their similarly open American peers, such as those from Mets, a social media giant. Moreover, their capabilities are closing in on the best proprietary models.

但是无论你如何叫这类模型是什么，在一系列的智能测试中中国今年发布的模型已经超过美国同类的开源模型，像Meta的一个开源模型，而且这些模型的能力正在逼近那些美国最好的专有模型。
