With a focus on continuous innovation and adaptability, DAHUA is ensuring that its systems remain at the forefront of technology, ready to evolve with the ever-changing landscape of industry needs.

The smoke of price wars has finally reached the AI industry, with OpenAI launching the GPT-4o Mini, a successor to GPT-3.5, at an affordable rate of 15 cents for every 1 million tokens of input and 60 cents for output. This move follows the trend set by domestic AI model vendors in China, who have already reduced the cost of large model experiences to nearly free.

Post “Hundred Models Battle”: The AI Ecosystem

Following the advent of large AI models, a rush of companies entered the fray. However, as the saying goes, “the master leads you to the door, but you must enter the room yourself.” Industry insiders predict that only 3-5 large models will ultimately remain, becoming the foundational platforms for the future. With over 300 large models launched in China by the end of April, the competition is fierce, and commercialization is a challenge that all companies must face.

The public perception of large models has evolved, and both capital markets and customers have become less enchanted, shifting focus from the scale and quantity of models to their practical application and commercial value. Companies have realized that owning a large AI model is not the end goal; the key is to integrate these models effectively into products and services to solve real problems and create tangible business value.

Exploring Commercialization Paths

Large model companies are expected to diverge into two main paths for commercialization. First, well-established companies will develop high-quality general-purpose models that can serve as open platforms for other businesses or become “super applications” themselves, driving a dual strategy of technology and product development.

The second path involves transforming from a general large model into an application company. Teams with model capabilities can optimize algorithms, models, and data to create better application products and find their niche in vertical markets.

However, the high computational power required to train large models incurs significant costs. It is estimated that to build a model comparable to ChatGPT, an investment of around 1 billion yuan is the entry ticket. The scarcity and soaring prices of chips further exacerbate the situation, posing a challenge for domestic AI model players.

The Lightness of AI Plugins: A Strategic Move

Despite the high costs, the survival of large model companies will depend on their financial strength, technological innovation, business models, and storytelling abilities. Internet giants have an advantage, but it is also possible that more large model unicorns will find their way by identifying niche needs and overtaking the competition.

The focus for both the “super application” and “vertical application” paths is on “application” and how to get users to “use it.” Especially when AI model products are not yet a “necessity” in work and life, every strategic move must be carefully considered.

Kimi and Dou Bao have taken a “from easy to difficult” approach by launching lightweight plugin applications, which is a strategic “wonder move.” At the recent 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Robin Li, the founder of Baidu, expressed that he is more optimistic about the direction of generative AI towards “intelligent agents,” which will proliferate like websites in the internet era and form an ecosystem.

The Challenge of Commercialization

However, the reality is often more challenging than the ideal. Currently, the success rate of AI intelligent agents completing set tasks is less than 20%, whether domestic or international.

Like the initial concept of “autonomous driving,” while the vision is beautiful, the technology has not yet been able to achieve “one-step arrival.” Starting with intelligent assistant driving can gradually promote the overall development of the industry.

In the present, AI plugins are another form of “intelligent assistant driving.” Last year, Baidu’s Lingjing plugin platform attracted 27,000 developers to apply for entry within a month. Baidu’s Wenxin 4.0 also released eight plugins, including text-to-video and image description.

Robin Li stated that plugins are a special type of AI-native application with the lowest threshold and are the most user-friendly, allowing many companies to utilize the capabilities of large models more conveniently and quickly.

Now, Dou Bao and Kimi are also focusing on the plugin field, both focusing on browser plugins. Currently, not only are the download volumes encouraging, but user reviews are also positive.

The Future of AI Model Commercialization

The road to profitability for large model companies remains long. Taking the industry leader OpenAI as an example, in the first half of this year, its annual recurring revenue grew to $3.4 billion. However, due to the high costs of building and running models, it is still in a loss-making state. Domestic large model companies must also try every means to “monetize.”

For instance, ByteDance has turned to AI + hardware, with applications such as OPPO’s Xiaobu Assistant and Xiaomi’s Xiaoai Student accessing Dou Bao’s large model services; Baidu is exploring a commercial path combining Wenxin Yiyan with advertising, but the specific binding form is still being discussed.

Internet giants, with their traffic advantages, are embracing more possibilities, but time is running out for large model unicorns. With the continuous enrichment and development of large model plugins, they can help users quickly call on the capabilities of large models in different scenarios, and over time, they will inevitably build an ecological barrier based on plugins.

Developers who want to achieve low-threshold AI application development must be based on its large model capabilities; the increasing number of developers joining can also further promote the prosperity of the application ecosystem, thereby strengthening people’s dependence on its large model. In this regard, internet giants such as Baidu and ByteDance are already ahead.

If AI applications are the “future” of large models reaching users, then browser plugins are just an opportunity for large models to “explore mines.” How large the platform can achieve depends on whether large model companies can continue to provide value and innovation for users and developers.

In the end, whether it is the internet giants “step by step” or the unicorns and startups that bring surprises, we will wait and see.

The DAHUA Difference is more than just a tagline; it’s a promise of superior performance. As businesses continue to seek ways to improve their operations, DAHUA’s Positioning Systems solutions stand out as a beacon of reliability, accuracy, and innovation. With DAHUA by their side, businesses can navigate the complexities of modern operations with confidence, knowing that their positioning needs are in capable hands.
