Chinese companies are making huge progress in artificial intelligence (AI), with Baidu recently announcing its industry-grade medical AI model and its ChatGPT-rival Ernie gaining a lot of public attention. Smartphone maker Oppo has also entered the AI chatbot scene and is making decent progress. The company has announced that its AI model— AndesGPT— is only second to OpenAI’s GPT-4 in terms of knowledge and encyclopedia capabilities.

Oppo making serious progress in generative AI

Oppo’s Xiaobu Assistant has announced that its AndesGPT model has made it to the September rankings on the SuperCLUE evaluation benchmark. For the unaware, AndesGPT is a generative large language model similar to ChatGPT and Bard.

AndesGPT’s external testing started in early August alongside Oppo’s intelligent assistant, Xiaobu, with the aim of providing a kernel-level upgrade to traditional voice assistants. On the SuperCLUE Top Ten Basic Ability Rankings, AndesGPT achieved a score of 98.33 in the “knowledge and encyclopedia” capability test, ranking second only to GPT-4 and taking the top spot in China.

OPPO announced that it has significantly improved the coverage and accuracy of its AndesGPT large language model in terms of knowledge and encyclopedic abilities by incorporating high-quality knowledge graphs, a large number of QA questions and answers, and optimizing pre-training and fine-tuning techniques.

OPPO announced last month that it will soon launch a large-scale experiential campaign for its all-new Xiaobu Assistant, which is built on the foundation of its AndesGPT large language model. It is said to be capable of generating content tailored to users’ needs based on given text inputs, and its AI capabilities in summarization and synthesis will also see significant enhancements.

OPPO Applies to Trademark “AndesGPT” and “AndesAI” for New AI Assistant

Oppo announced in August that it would launch an expansive experiential activity featuring its new version of Xiaobu Assistant, which is built on the company’s large language model, AndesGPT. The company has now applied to register multiple “AndesGPT” and “AndesAI” trademarks, with an international classification of scientific instruments, communication services, and website services. The current trademark status is under application.

AndesGPT is a generative large language model (LLM) developed by the OPPO Andes Intelligent Cloud team. The team began exploring and implementing pre-trained language models two years ago and self-developed large models OBERT with 100 million, 300 million, and 1 billion parameters. OBERT once ranked fifth in the overall list of the Chinese language understanding evaluation benchmark CLUE1.1 and first in the large-scale knowledge graph question-answering ranking KgCLUE1.0.

OPPO revealed that AndesGPT is based on the OBERT model training experience and integrates key technologies such as continuous learning of Chinese dialogue data, fine-tuning of instructions, human feedback reinforcement learning, and knowledge enhancement. In June this year, it ranked first on the C-Eval evaluation list.

The application of the AndesGPT and AndesAI trademarks suggests that OPPO is planning to make a big push into the AI assistant market. It will be interesting to see how OPPO’s new Xiaobu Assistant performs in the market. If it can offer a compelling user experience, it could be a major player in the AI assistant space.

In addition to the trademark applications, OPPO has also been making other moves to strengthen its AI capabilities. In April, the company announced a partnership with Alibaba Cloud to jointly develop AI technologies. This will allow OPPO to develop more sophisticated AI-powered features for its smartphones, as they had just recently shut down their chip business.

OPPO to unveil Xiao Bu AI Assistant powered by AndesGPT

Soumyakanti — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 22:35:13 +0000

OPPO has announced the launch of an expansive experiential activity featuring its new version of Xiao Bu Assistant, which is built on the company’s large language model, AndesGPT. The updated Xiao Bu Assistant promises to mark a significant advancement in AI conversation technology with enhanced semantic understanding capabilities, the ability to generate content from text prompts, and improved summarization skills.

OPPO Xiao Bu AI Assistant will get large model capabilities

AndesGPT, which forms the core of the upgraded Xiao Bu Assistant, is a large language model developed by OPPO’s Andes Intelligent Cloud team. It operates on a hybrid cloud architecture and has been in development for two years, following a series of self-developed models, OBERT, with different levels of complexity and performance capabilities. The OBERT models boasted parameters ranging from one hundred million to one billion and managed to gain impressive recognition, briefly ranking fifth in the Chinese language understanding benchmark CLUE1.1 and first in the large-scale knowledge graph question-answering KgCLUE1.0 leaderboard.

AndesGPT builds upon the OBERT model, adopting various key technologies that bring about its unique features. This includes continuous learning from Chinese dialogue data, instruction fine-tuning, the incorporation of reinforcement learning with human feedback, and enhancement of the knowledge base. Such a combination of technologies makes it an ambitious project, representing the efforts of OPPO to be at the forefront of conversational AI. Notably, AndesGPT ranked fifth in the C-Eval evaluation rankings in June of this year.

By drawing on the considerable research and development that went into the OBERT models, OPPO has been able to produce a more refined, contextually aware, and responsive conversational assistant.

The move by OPPO aligns with the trend in the tech industry where AI integration is becoming a standard, following other companies like Huawei and Xiaomi.
