In order to achieve this, vivo reconstructs the system experience with AI from three aspects. The first is to reconstruct the interaction experience between people and devices, so that the interaction is more natural and intuitive. With the blessing of the blue heart model, the mobile phone will have more powerful analysis capabilities, whether it is pressing the screen, circleing text or pictures, or dragging and dropping a piece of address information, the multi-modal model can deeply interpret your intentions, and then give you the feedback and services you need.
Relying on the large text model, combined with self-supervised learning speech codec, multi-voice task learning and modal alignment and other technologies, Lanxin V further has a strong ability to understand and generate speech representations in addition to text capabilities, so that the mobile phone can naturally communicate with people, translate language, simulate human voices, and even understand emotions in conversations.
The second aspect is to reconstruct the service experience of people and the digital world, and make intelligence more personalized, that is, to build simple and efficient service acquisition capabilities and active service capabilities, so as to make mobile phones become intelligent and warm personal assistants.
vivo has upgraded the basic functions of the mobile phone based on the blue heart model. At the same time, vivo has built a framework and platform for third-party developers to connect services, so that people can find services while the services also actively match people's needs.
In addition, vivo has built a personal intelligence system framework, which establishes the common memory of people and devices through localized knowledge graphs and based on the capabilities of large models on the device side.
At the meeting, a new exploration made by vivo based on the blue heart large model technology was displayed, and the "PhoneGPT" mobile phone intelligent body was released.
In the demonstration, Blue Heart V can not only recognize and operate the screen interface, but also take over the audio to conduct independent conversations to complete the tasks assigned by the user, such as helping us to order restaurants, order coffee, and so on.
The third aspect is to reconstruct the connection experience between people and the physical world, vivo uses multi-modal large models to make mobile phones the eyes of the visually impaired, helping them to safely walk to farther and unfamiliar places alone.
Second, the big model of the blue heart has been upgraded, and the voice, image, and multi-modality dominate the list
In order to further consolidate the foundation of AI capabilities, vivo released the upgraded self-developed blue heart large model matrix at this year's developer conference, upgraded the capabilities of language large models and device-side large models, and released vivo's self-developed speech large models, image large models and multi-modal large models.
In terms of the language model, the 100-billion-level blue heart cloud model focuses on optimizing the ability of intent understanding and distribution, as well as task planning. Compared with last year, the overall ability has increased by 30%, ranking first in China on the SuperCLUE and C-EVAL lists.
This time, vivo officially released the new 3 billion parameter level blue heart end-side large model 3B. It is said that in terms of dialogue writing, summary summary, information extraction and other capabilities, Blueheart 3B can leapfrog the industry's 7B-9B model. Compared with the Blue Heart 7B, the peak performance of the Blue Heart 3B is increased by 300%, the power consumption is optimized by 46% in balanced mode, the fastest word output speed can reach 80 words/s, the system power consumption is 450mA, and the memory occupies 1.4GB.
In the evaluation of the comprehensive ability of small models of SuperCLUE and Equal Eval, Blue Heart 3B ranked first, and at the same time obtained the comprehensive capability certification of the device-side large model of Thiel Labs and the AIIA security capability certification.
In addition, vivo has also released a new self-developed blue heart speech model that can accurately understand natural semantics and simulate human voices, a blue heart image model that strengthens the fusion and generation ability of Chinese characteristics and oriental aesthetics, and a blue heart multimodal model that upgrades visual perception and understanding capabilities.
3. OriginOS 5 was officially unveiled, reconstructing the system experience with AI
As the primary interface between the user and the mobile phone, the operating system directly determines the user's experience. This time, vivo focused on its own technical achievements in the fields of AI, battery life, and communication, as well as its thinking on the basic experience, design, and humanities of mobile phones, and released a new generation of operating system - OriginOS 5.
In the original system 5, based on the blue heart multi-modal large model technology, vivo launched the small V circle search function, on the basis of the existing text search, through the combination of image recognition and circle selection interaction, to achieve "one circle search".
The original system 5 has also upgraded the "atomic island" function, in addition to the notification function, it has the intention recognition ability of the blue heart V, constantly analyze and judge the current needs of users, and actively provide users with latter services.
In addition, the original system5 has been upgraded to provide smart services in the form of desktop components"Little V suggestions"、Support simultaneous interpretation"Little V help"、Built-in"Little V writing"Vivo input method"Vivo input method"、Support one-click editing and AIThe customized lyrics and songs"Little V time silhouette"、Able to remember the little things that get along with users"Little V memory"function。
