Mobvoi, a Beijing-based tech company, has recently launched its Xulie Houzi AI large model. This launch was spearheaded by CEO Li Zhifei two months after he declared his goal to develope a Chinese version of OpenAI in 2020. This model has tens of billions of parameters, which is less than OpenAI’s GPT-3 model with approximately 175 billion parameters. Along with Xulie Houzi, Mobvoi presented four creation assistant products, such as drawing, writing, dubbing, avatar-led video, and livestreaming assistants that are all powered by AI.
Founded by ex-Google research scientist Li Zhifei in 2012, Mobvoi is the recipient of Series A fundings from Sequoia Capital China and Google. Since then, the company has continued to develop Chinese-language speech recognition technologies and gone on to release various wearables, including its own smartwatch OS.
