Chinese AI startup, Zhixing AI, has launched a new AI model with plug-in support, claiming to be the first Chinese AI model product to offer such support. The AI model integrates seven plug-ins, including Bing Search and Wolfram, which enables users to obtain real-time weather information, solve complex mathematical problems, and conduct deep financial analysis. Zhixing AI is now aiming to achieve an ecosystem similar to an App Store for the model, where users can utilize interconnected plugins for a better user experience. The company’s founder and CEO, Zhang Chongyang, who previously worked for iFlytek, Microsoft, WeChat, and Kuaishou, among other major tech companies, envisions that the development of this ecosystem will be a primary focus for Zhixing within the upcoming months.
Zhixing AI’s team of experts from major tech players such as Tencent, Alibaba, Microsoft, and Google provides enormous support for the development of the new AI model with plug-in support, allowing users access to diverse, interconnected features. The company is preparing for a new round of financing for sustaining its operations.
The company’s novel approach to integrating support plugins into its AI model is expected to attract a large number of users, especially those who rely heavily on a wide range of applications and services daily. The project takes a consumer-centric approach that provides users with an ecosystem filled with endless possibilities for building different features into the AI model. It creates an opportunity for users to build customized, tailored systems that best suit their applications, resulting in more user satisfaction.
Zhixing AI’s new AI model with plug-in support has the potential to transform the AI space in China, creating an opportunity for diverse features integration, solving various challenges in daily life. The technology’s ability to integrate these different functions plays a vital role in creating a more accessible AI ecosystem that allows users input, flexibility, and power.
