On December 14, at QuantumBit's MEET 2024 Intelligent Future Conference, the results of the '2023 AI Annual Awards' were officially announced. Langboat Technology founder & CEO Zhou Ming, after winning QuantumBit's 'Annual AI Technology Leader' in 2021, has once again been selected as a '2023 AI Annual Influential Figure'.

The 2023 AI Annual Awards lasted three months, attracting hundreds of companies, institutions, and individuals to register. The selection process was based on real data, combined with QuantumBit's in-depth research on AI companies and opinions from dozens of industry experts, ultimately selecting 50 leading enterprises, 20 most valuable startups, 30 leading figures, 10 outstanding products, and 10 outstanding solutions.

Brave people enjoy the world first. Dr. Zhou Ming, founder of Langboat Technology, is a leading figure in the global NLP field, one of the scholars with the most ACL papers published (H-index 109). He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the China Computer Federation (CCF), Fellow of CCF and China Association for Artificial Intelligence, and doctoral supervisor at five top Chinese universities. During his 21 years at Microsoft, he led NLP research at Microsoft Research Asia, and his research results were embedded in Microsoft products such as Windows, Office, Bing Search, Azure Cloud Computing, and Xiaoice. However, for explorers, challenges are their foundation. At the end of 2020, Dr. Zhou Ming keenly realized that in the future, large models would become infrastructure similar to water, electricity, and oil.

In June 2021, Langboat Technology was officially established. Focusing on vertical fields and professional tracks, as one of the earliest teams in China to start large model entrepreneurship, Langboat Technology, under the leadership of Dr. Zhou Ming, has always focused on technology R&D and innovative applications. The company has a R&D team composed of many senior experts and engineers with deep technical accumulation and rich practical experience in the AI field. After leading the industry to complete the construction of the Mencius General Large Model, Langboat Technology has turned to industry models and scenario models, committed to solving the last-mile implementation problem of large models.

Around B-end scenarios, a unique L1-L2-L3-L4 closed-loop service system has been formed, including L1 - General Large Model, L2 - Industry Large Model, L3 - Scenario Service Model, and L4 - AI Agents. It has been widely applied in finance, translation, entertainment, marketing, and other industries, and has cooperated with dozens of benchmark enterprises such as Huawei, Transn, Hithink RoyalFlush, China Asset Management, CICC, and a leading operator in the large model field, driving technological progress and industrial upgrading in the industry.

Regarding this selection as a QuantumBit '2023 AI Annual Influential Figure', Dr. Zhou Ming said, 'This is not only recognition of the achievements my team and I have made in the AI field, but also an expectation of Langboat Technology's development potential. In the future, Langboat Technology will continue to dedicate itself to research and application of large model technology, actively explore innovative application scenarios, and help enterprises embark on a new journey of digital intelligence transformation.'
