iFlytek Chinese AI Firm Launches Spark Model to Challenge ChatGPT
iFlytek, a state-subsidized Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, has launched Spark Model, an AI system designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
iexclusivenews reports that the technology was unveiled at a tech event in Hefei. “Spark Desk,” and iFlytek’s founder, Liu Qingfeng, claimed that Spark Model represents the “dawn of general artificial intelligence.”
Although the details of the underlying technology are scarce, Liu Qingfeng stated that Spark Model’s capabilities are “far ahead of the existing system that can be measured in China.”
In addition, he claimed that the company’s research arm began working on Spark Model just six months ago, on Dec. 22, 2022.
He also announced that iFlytek would surpass ChatGPT in the Chinese language and reach the same level in English by October 10th.
Comparisons between ChatGPT and similar models can be difficult to make without side-by-side benchmarking.
Furthermore, ChatGPT is banned in China, which limits OpenAI’s ability to train its models on Chinese languages and culture.
The current ban on ChatGPT in China has been described as potentially stifling, especially when compared to Hong Kong.
