On August 21, Baidu Smart Cloud announced the launch of the Wenxin flagship large model ERNIE 4.0 Turbo fine-tuning service to help companies use their own business data to train large models that are more suitable for corporate application scenarios, greatly improving the effectiveness of the model in business use. From now on, corporate users can log in to the Baidu Smart Cloud official website to apply for the experience.
It is understood that Baidu Smart Cloud Qianfan Platform has previously supported ERNIE 3.5, ERNIE Speed, ERNIE Lite, ERNIE Tiny, and ERNIE Character for model fine-tuning. As of now, a total of 6 Wenxin large models can be fine-tuned and used on the Qianfan platform. A total of 21,000 models have been fine-tuned, serving the core business scenarios of more than a thousand companies, and have many successful cases.
Although the general big model has powerful understanding, generation, logic and memory capabilities, as an "undergraduate" with strong general knowledge, it often cannot fully meet the needs of enterprises in actual applications, such as the particularity of the industry and scenarios of the enterprise, the customized needs of content generation, data privacy and security, etc.
SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning) is the main method for fine-tuning large models. It builds input and output for specific tasks to align the model's performance on the task with the capabilities of professionals. For example, if a model already has knowledge in the financial field, SFT can teach it the basic logic and steps of research report analysis, so that the model has better capabilities in completing the specific task of "research report analysis".
In addition, opening up large model fine-tuning services is also an important manifestation of large model manufacturers in ensuring customer data security, privacy security, and model controllability.
From the perspective of the global market, OpenAI recently officially launched the fine-tuning service for its flagship large model GPT-4o. Industry commentators said that this is an important strategic move for OpenAI to actively respond to the needs of B-side users, enhance its differentiated advantages over competitors such as Google, Meta, and Anthropic, and increase its investment in the toB track.
Among the mainstream large model manufacturers in China, except Baidu Smart Cloud, other manufacturers have hardly opened fine-tuning services for any flagship models. At present, Baidu Smart Cloud has provided 6 Wenxin large models including ERNIE 4.0 Turbo and ERNIE 3.5, and has fine-tuned 21,000 models in total, serving the core business scenarios of more than 1,000 enterprises.
