On July 29, Worthbuy Technology officially announced its partnership with MiniMax, a leading company in the large model AI sector. As part of this collaboration, MiniMax's Hai Luo AI has been integrated into Worthbuy's "Consumer Large Model Enhancement Toolkit." Leveraging Hai Luo AI's price comparison capabilities, users can quickly compare prices and jump directly to purchase options using the innovative "floating ball" feature.
This partnership signifies a significant advancement in Worthbuy Technology's AI ecosystem, as it continues to foster collaboration with various industry leaders for mutual success. Hai Luo AI, developed by MiniMax, is a multimodal smart product designed for end users, based on their proprietary trillion-parameter model, abab6.5. It facilitates seamless interaction across text, audio, and images.
The upgraded Hai Luo AI now features the floating ball functionality, allowing users to summon the floating ball icon directly on their screen while using other applications, effectively creating a built-in AI assistant on their phones. In the framework of general-purpose large models, Hai Luo AI also strengthens its capabilities in specific verticals, particularly in the shopping sector. By integrating with Worthbuy's toolkit, it offers users a range of quick functions, such as product identification and comprehensive price comparisons, to enhance decision-making efficiency.
Looking toward the future, both parties plan to deepen their cooperation and explore diverse collaboration models to provide broader internet users with more comprehensive and data-driven consumer decision-making tools, ultimately improving the quality and efficiency of their purchasing choices.
Wang Yunfeng, CTO of Worthbuy Technology, noted that early in 2023, the company began developing its own "Consumer Large Model" based on over ten years of accumulated consumer data. In this process, they identified a growing demand for enhancing general large model capabilities. Thus, Worthbuy created a specialized toolkit that can be effectively utilized by large models, supporting its own products while also providing high-quality consumption content and data to external large model companies.
As vertical models gain traction, Worthbuy Technology continues to collaborate with multiple large model firms to deliver direct solutions for their consumption scenarios. This initiative is a part of the company's broader AI strategy, focused on co-creating a vibrant AI ecosystem that enhances understanding of consumer intent and requirements, thereby improving information accuracy and creating a synergistic effect.
Since the beginning of the year, Worthbuy Technology has partnered with several large model companies through the open "Consumer Large Model Enhancement Toolkit." In April, they collaborated with Yuezhidanyan to launch "Kimi + What Worthbuy." In June, "What Worthbuy" was featured on the Zhipu Qingyan AgentStore, followed by an official recommendation of the "What Worthbuy" smart agent at the iFLYTEK Spark large model center in July. Collaborations with further large model companies, such as Baichuan Intelligence, Baidu Wenxin Yiyan, and Mianbi Intelligence, are also actively progressing.
The collaboration with MiniMax represents a notable milestone in Worthbuy Technology’s endeavor to build a robust AI ecosystem. A MiniMax representative expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the industry's trend toward integrating general and vertical large models. With Worthbuy's extensive experience and rich database of product information and customer insights, this alliance is set to enhance user experience and unlock significant commercial potential.
