Text | Anita Deng Editors | Zhang Yuxin and Yang Xuan "Smart Emergence" has exclusively learned that the end-to-end large model company Wallface Intelligence has reached a cooperation with Samsung Mobile. Its independently developed MiniCPM series of end-to-end models will be launched on Samsung mobile phones, covering several flagship models. On the same day, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued an announcement that 7 mobile phone-side generative artificial intelligence services, including "Apple Smart", have completed registration. The announcement shows that a total of 7 services including Apple Smart, Huawei Xiaoyi AI large model, OPPO Andes GPT, vivo Lanxin end-to-side large model, Xiaomi ThePaper AI, Samsung Galaxy AI and Nubia Beanbag mobile phone large model have been registered. After the advent of the large model wave, on-device AI has been in the technological exploration and budding stages. The approval of seven mobile phone device-side AI models on the same day is an important milestone for the industry - device-side AI is no longer a concept demonstration and has entered the stage of large-scale implementation. △Source: Netcom China On the same day, Alibaba confirmed to the media that Alibaba Qianwen will be integrated into Apple smart phones as AI capabilities, covering state-owned devices of iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS. Users can experience Qianwen’s text and image understanding, content generation and other capabilities on Apple devices without switching apps. Since then, Alibaba’s stock price has risen by more than 5%. Previously, most of the end-side AI capabilities of domestic mobile phone manufacturers were supported by self-developed models - Huawei has Xiaoyi, OPPO has AndesGPT, vivo has Blue Heart, and Xiaomi has Pengpai AI. Now, Alibaba Qianwen has launched Apple smart phones and wall-facing smart phones with Samsung mobile phones. This shows that AI model companies are becoming an important supplier of mobile phone AI capabilities - mobile phone manufacturers do not have to develop everything themselves, and the market division of labor for device-side models is taking shape. Wall-facing Intelligence, the first startup to bet on end-side AI, was established in Beijing in August 2022 and was incubated from the Natural Language Processing Laboratory of Tsinghua University. Co-founder and CEO Li Dahai was a partner and CTO of Zhihu; co-founder and chief scientist Liu Zhiyuan is currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University; co-founder and CTO Zeng Guoyang was a nuclear engineer at the age of 22.
