Why is 360 Smart Life now focusing on the SMB market when it comes to the landing application of AI, which has been explored for many years? How will it develop in the future? In response to these topics, NetEase Technology had in-depth discussions with Sun Hao, General Manager of 360 Visual Cloud Business Line.

Talking about Change: AIoT Powered by Large Models is the 'True AI'

Zhou Hongyi emphasized that "the original AIoT was only a vertical AI, not a universal AI, and the AIoT empowered by a large model is the 'true AI'. So, how is "true AI" different from the "smart devices" discussed in the past?

Sun Hao said, "The real AI currently released has end-to-end computing power. Users can download algorithms based on different scene requirements and define the AI function of the camera. In the past, smart devices often referred to being able to connect to the internet, view through apps, talk back, shake their heads, etc., lacking recognition and AI capabilities for real objects.

Sun Hao stated that large models possess the ability to understand language, images, and sound, and products that can be combined with these multimodal capabilities are worth reshaping. Even with a few hundred yuan worth of a 360 dash cam, you can start your car in front of traffic lights. It gives you a reminder that you are too close to the car in front or the lane is shifting. In fact, we have applied AI technology to many products

When it comes to the connection between the visual model and the 360 intelligent brain, Sun Hao said: The big language model is a very important component in the field of multimodality. For our visual big model, we train it based on internet graphic and textual data, but a core of its intelligence is that we integrate the big language model of 360 intelligent brain. Therefore, our relationship with the 360 intelligent brain big language model is logically parallel, but in terms of ability, it is actually a reference and supplement. In the future, we will all be 360 intelligent brain big language models An important capability component of multimodal large models

Strategy: The key to entering the SMB market lies in gaining insight into its true needs

For the strategy of entering the SMB market, Sun Hao believes that the key lies in gaining insight into the true needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, achieving satisfaction through product and technological innovation, and creating better products.

Simply changing and offering price discounts is not feasible.

Sun Hao believes that the boundary between C-end and small and medium-sized enterprises is not so clear, and their needs are biased towards standardization. The reason why many users choose 360 products in their own business scenarios is because they value the simplicity and ease of use of 360 products in their home settings

He observed that some small and medium-sized enterprises do not have the ability or financial resources to support the implementation of traditional professional security products. However, the characteristics of 360 products such as easy installation, simple use, decentralized deployment, and centralized management have precisely lowered the threshold for digital implementation to an extremely low level. And these characteristics are also in line with the current needs of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Talking about the Wind Tunnel: Combining multimodal large models with the Internet of Things will be the next wind tunnel

Sun Haojian believes that the multimodal large model combined with the Internet of Things will be the next wind vent.

In his view, the Internet of Things mainly solved the problem of data perception in the previous wave, but the technology system of the Internet of Things in the past did not achieve good utilization of data on how to process, analyze, understand, and make decisions on a large amount of data.

He believes that the amount of data provided by the Internet of Things is much larger than that on the Internet, and it is closely integrated with the real world. If the big model further integrates and learns from the data perceived by the Internet of Things, it can bring greater value to production, operation, and daily life.

At present, ChatGPT plug-ins mainly integrate the analysis capability of the large model with the data of various industries and plug-ins by embedding. In the future, more lightweight algorithm optimization and model reduction may occur, making the large model run on Edge device.

The implementation of a large model requires gradually integrating hardware, first integrating visual abilities, and then gradually integrating perception of modalities such as speech, which is a process of gradual infiltration and reshaping. Although the inference cost of large models is currently high, with the advancement of technology in the future, more solutions may emerge. Sun Hao explained.
