Zidong Taichu is an AI model developed by Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan AI Computing Center (China), first published in August 2021. It works in the multimodal, speech, vision and language domain, on tasks such as language modeling/generation, speech recognition (asr) and image captioning.
Training it took an estimated 8×10²⁰ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 3,200,000,000 parameters.
Access: Open weights (unrestricted). Its weights are openly available. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
