MediaTek touts DaVinci AI platform as surpassing Chat GPT 3.5 capabilities

2024-04-09

Integrated circuit designer MediaTek is also stepping into the world of artificial intelligence. The company has launched its newest AI platform, the MediaTek DaVinci, which it has touted as surpassing Chat GPT-3.5 in its traditional Chinese language capabilities. The company says users can interact verbally with the platform without giving explicit instructions, and the system will understand what they want.

Complain about the heat to turn on a fan and the AC unit and voila: the temperature is brought down. Unlike conventional smart devices that need explicit instructions, MediaTek’s generative AI service platform, DaVinci, can provide assistance in a conversational manner. The company hopes the platform will become the smart assistant that best understands Taiwanese people.

A language model called BreeXe, which is based on 4 to 5 million parameters, can be integrated into the MediaTek DaVinci. Its performance with traditional Chinese writing has surpassed Chat GPT-3.5 in our evaluations, and in evaluations conducted by school teachers.

With 45 billion parameter models, and Taiwan-specific Mandarin terms, Mediatek says the DaVinci platform is better than Chat GPT-3.5. It can process more than 40,000 traditional Chinese characters, 10 times more than Mistral AI’s language model, which can handle just 4,000. DaVinci has more than 100,000 dialogue entries from MediaTek as its foundation, allowing it to provide custom services for home and vehicle use.

It can also be integrated with employee time tracking systems and work leave systems.

Everything can be handled by DaVinci, from marketing strategies and collecting news pieces to booking train tickets.

DaVinci is not a product, it’s already a developed platform. We have received inquiries from Japan and even Singapore. Clients have contacted us from Asia and the Americas, and they are all big corporations that are global leaders in their industries.

And it’s not just companies from overseas. In Taiwan, more than 20 high-tech companies, over 10 consumer brands and financial corporations as well as companies in traditional industries are working together, allowing MediaTek to expand its ecosystem and make AI applications more widespread.

國內大廠跨足生成式AI 號稱繁中應用超越GPT3.5

2024-04-09

IC設計大廠聯發科，也跨足生誠AI，推出最新生成式AI服務平台MediaTek DaVinci，號稱在繁體中文的應用，超越GPT3.5，用更口語化的方式，就能接受指令、提供協助，而且未來將與金融、電信、法律等領域串聯，建立完整生態系，讓應用更廣泛。

喊一句我好熱，電扇、冷氣直接打開來，控制到最佳溫度。不同於過去的智慧機器人，要下明確指令，聯發科生成式AI服務平台達哥，用更口語化的方式，就能提供即時協助，要成為最懂台灣人的智能助理。

[[聯發創新基底負責人許大山]]
“大型的4、5百萬參數的模型叫做BreeXe，會搭配在我們聯發科的達哥平台上，不論在繁體中文上的表現，在我們的評測，還有我們學校老師的評測裡面，超過了GPT-3.5。”

導入450億參數模型和台灣專有名詞，號稱超越ChatGpt3.5，能處理4萬多個繁體中文字，比法國新創Mistral AI能處理的4千字，足足多了10倍。達哥以聯發科一天10幾萬筆的對話紀錄，作為基調，提供客製化服務，包括智能家居、車用領域。

也可用在打卡、請假系統上。

行銷策略、新聞資料蒐集、甚至是車票預訂，不必自己來，通通透過達哥就能搞定。

[[聯發科人工智慧暨數據工程處協理葉家順]]
“達哥它不是一個產品，它已經是一個開發的平台。我們在日本，甚至在新加坡，或者亞洲、美洲，也都有很多客戶在詢問，都是大型的企業，而且在全球都是在很前面的大型的企業。”

瞄準AI，不只海外投資，國內20多家高科技廠、10多家消費品牌和金融業、傳產也相繼合作，聯發科擴大生態系，要讓AI應用更普及。

Computerized portion of Han Kuang War Games extended to be eight days long

The annual Han Kuang War Games are back in action this month. Starting next week, computerized exercises will be carried out over eight days, and the military will be using lessons learned from the tabletop version when live-fire drills are held in July. One of the key features of training this year will be rules of engagement which define the situations in which soldiers can use force when fighting the enemy. The rules are seen as a way to maintain support from the international community in a war scenario.

First held in 1984, the annual Han Kuang War Games are the Armed Forces’ biggest war exercise, and this year they’ll include currently conscripted soldiers and reservists. The live-fire drills portion of the war games will take place in July, but first up is the tabletop portion.

This year the schedule for tabletop exercises has been extended to eight days and seven nights. They include simulations of gray-zone tactics during peace time and a potential rapid transition from peace to war in Taiwan. Amid the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war, we’re concentrating on cognitive warfare, asymmetrical warfare capabilities, and our utilization of military reserves. The way we designed these games takes into consideration every aspect of asymmetrical warfare, and we can use this as reference for how we can employ our troops.

The primary focus of this year’s war games is anti-landing exercises. Both computerized and live-fire segments will include a coastal command that’s yet to be formally established. They’ll also feature Chinese cargo ships and Taiwan’s Sea Dragon Frogmen. One of the issues currently receiving a lot of attention is ensuring the legality of the war efforts. Commanders and troops will receive training on the matter, to develop skills related to strategic-decision making and combat response, while helping Taiwan receive international support.

Tung Chi-Hsing
MND combat and planning affairs director
This edition of the war games is separated into two sessions: computerized exercises and live-fire drills. The computerized exercises involve inspecting the procedures of commands and discussing rules of engagement. During the live-fire drill part, soldiers will take action while following the rules of engagement. These are cards with instructions for every soldier, that tell them under what kinds of threats they are authorized to use weapons and ammunition. They even include different instructions that can be followed to face specific situations.

On Monday, civilian drones from China were once again detected flying over Kinmen’s Erdan Island and Menghu Islet. Soldiers used drone jamming guns to drive them away. Unlike last year, none were shot down.

Chen Chien-yi
Army Command Headquarters
Shooting is one of our methods we may use. Of course, we need to differentiate between firing a warning shot with a flare gun, a drone jamming gun, and firing live ammunition. The situation needs to be considered, as well as the bullet’s trajectory. The way matters were handled yesterday followed standard procedure.

With China using gray-zone tactics on Taiwan’s outlying islands, the military is ready to counter harassment from across the strait.

During Hualien visit, TSMC Charity chair Sophie Chang promises to help victims rebuild

TSMC is known for its world-leading semiconductors, but the high-tech giant also has a charity foundation that has committed itself to helping post-earthquake Hualien rebuild. Sophie Chang leads the charity, and she was part of a team that traveled to eastern Taiwan to inspect the damage done by last week’s quake.

Almost a week after the earthquake, TSMC Charity Foundation Chair Sophie Chang took a train to Hualien to inspect the damage; she expressed that the charity is determined to help with recovery.

Sophie Chang
TSMC Charity Foundation chair
I came to see the damage done for the primary reason of seeing what we can do. We won’t get involved in anything the government is working on. As for what the public desperately needs, we’ll be sure get to work on that as quickly as we can.

Chang led a team that carried out on-site inspections of damaged places to determine the extent of damage done and what disaster victims require. The foundation will help the area rebuild by working with the government so that the public and private sectors can get separate projects done.

Sophie Chang
TSMC Charity Foundation chair
We have experts who specialize in post-disaster recovery. Their department will be leading the effort, so they know what the work entails.

An apartment complex on the Milun Fault was chosen as the group’s first stop. As they stepped into the common area they saw the walls’ large cracks; the building was left absolutely battered by the violent quake. A resident teared up as she described what happened one week ago.

Chang promised to help. In the afternoon the team visited a center that cares for youth. Just six years ago, the TSMC Charity Foundation had donated NT$3 million to upgrade the building’s seismic resistance to intensities of 7. Even then the structure sustained heavy damage by last week’s tremor.

Sophie Chang
TSMC Charity Foundation chair
Something just popped into my head: every time I come to Hualien it’s to help with disaster relief. I’ve never come here for pleasure, so today has been very emotional for me.

Chang emphasized that the team didn’t want to further burden emergency responders by potentially putting themselves in a dangerous situation, so the team only visited spots within urban Hualien. The charity hopes to start a positive domino effect in which other corporations will lend a helping hand and help provide peace of mind to disaster victims.
