On September 13, Liu Wei, an IEEE Fellow, Tencent's distinguished scientist, and head of Tencent's Hunyuan large model technology, delivered a keynote speech titled "The Development of Generative AI and the Practice of Tencent's Hunyuan Large Model" at the 2024 Bund New Media Annual Conference.
Liu emphasized that we are entering the latter phase of generative AI, where its applications extend beyond language, video, and image synthesis. He highlighted the potential for AI to make significant contributions in scientific fields, suggesting that future AI could assist in generating novel material molecules and formulations. Another important trend he noted is that large models are mastering the key to automatic upgrades through self-play reinforcement learning. This allows for seamless iterations and upgrades with just a simple activation, requiring no human intervention.
