GPT-3 caused a stir a few months ago when it impressed the world with its capabilities for generating text content. Its 175 Billion parameters made it look like a true AI giant. Now a new Deep Learning model is making an appearance at an AI event in Beijing. This model, referred to as Wudao, ‘natural law understanding’, is the world’s largest new model with 1.75 Trillion parameters.

The initial version was presented in March but has been quickly replaced by this larger version. The goal was to present the world’s largest model because according to Dr. Zhan Hongjiang, president of BAAI (Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence):

“The way to general artificial intelligence is big models and big computers.”

General Artificial Intelligence is the hypothetical ability of a machine to learn any task in the way that a human can. GPT-3 has the ability to do Zero-Shot learning, which is learning other tasks without anyone telling it that this is its task. It can do tasks such as translate, perform arithmetic operations, sort words, and write programming code.

The people in charge of BAAI (Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence) imagine a large-scale model with immense computing power that will make it possible to generate general artificial intelligence. A…
