At the BEYOND International Science and Technology Innovation Expo held in Macau,iFLYTEKChairman Liu Qingfeng expressed his unique insights on the competitive situation between China and the United States in the field of general large-scale model bases. He firmly believes that although there is a gap between China and the United States in this field, it is only a dynamic catch-up between half a year and a year and a half, and iFLYTEK will never be left behind.
Liu Qingfeng further pointed out that iFLYTEK andGPT-4The gap is narrowing rapidly. It is expected that around June and July this year, iFLYTEK'sSpark Large ModelVersion V4.0 can reach the current level of GPT-4. He emphasized that once GPT-5 is released, iFlytek may face short-term challenges, but the team is confident that it will catch up again and ensure its technological leadership.
iFlytek's strength in the field of artificial intelligence should not be underestimated. According to Liu Cong, vice president of iFlytek, iFlytek plans to officially launch the Spark Big Model V4.0 in June this year, which will have capabilities comparable to GPT-4 (Turbo). Since its first release on May 6 last year, iFlytek's Spark Big Model has been iterated to version V3.5, and has made significant progress in language understanding, mathematical ability, and voice interaction capabilities, and its comprehensive capabilities are close to GPT-4Turbo.
What is more worth mentioning is that iFlytek has joined the price war among hundreds of models and announced that the iFlytek Spark API capabilities are officially open for free. Among them, the iFlytek Spark Lite API is permanently open for free, and the fee for the iFlytek Spark Pro/Max API is as low as 0.21 yuan/10,000 tokens. This move will undoubtedly further enhance iFlytek's market competitiveness and accelerate its development in the field of artificial intelligence.
