Recently, the research and application of multimodal large models have made significant progress. Foreign companies such as OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft have launched a series of advanced models, and domestic institutions such as Zhipu AI and Jieyuexingchen have also made breakthroughs in this field. These models usually rely on visual encoders to extract visual features and combine them with large language models, but there is a problem of visual induction bias caused by training separation, which limits the deployment efficiency and performance of multimodal large models. To solve these problems, Zhiyuan Research Institute, in collaboration with Dalian University of Technology, Peking University and other universities, launched a new generation of encoder-free visual...

According to Tencent Technology, dozens of Chinese and foreign experts, including Turing Award winners Joshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yao Qizhi, recently jointly signed the "Beijing AI Safety International Consensus" initiated by the Zhiyuan Research Institute in Beijing, involving two major areas: "risk red line" and "route" of artificial intelligence. The "risk red line" includes "autonomous replication and improvement", "power seeking", "assisting bad actors" and "deception". The four parts are roughly as follows: "Autonomous replication and improvement" of artificial intelligence: emphasizes the role of humans in the process, requiring that any artificial intelligence system should not be used without human...
