作者 | 褚杏娟、华卫 在 4 月 25 日的百度 Create 开发者大会现场，百度创始人李彦宏发布了两大模型、多款热门 AI 应用，并宣布将帮助开发者全面拥抱 MCP。同时，百度 正式点亮了国内首个全自研的三万卡集群，可同时承载多个千亿参数大模型的全量训练，支持 1000 个用户同时做百亿参数的大模型精调。 "所有这些发布，都是为了让开发者们可以不用担心模型能力、不用担心模型成本、更不用担心开发工具和平台，可以踏踏实实地做应用，做出最好的应 用！"李彦宏说道。 李彦宏表示，大模型厂商卷生卷死，几乎每周都在发布新模型，但开发者不敢大胆用，因为担心自己的应用被模型迭代快速覆盖掉。李彦宏认为这是把 双刃剑：一方面，开发者确实需要理解技术发展趋势；另一方面，这么多日益强大的模型提供了更多的选择，打开了更多的可能性。 "只要找对场景，选对基础模型，有时候还要学一点调模型的方法，在此基础上做出来的应用是不会过时的"。他强调，"没有应用，芯片、模型都没有价 值。模型会有很多，但未来真正统治这个世界的是应用，应用才是王者。" 发布两大新模型， 价格最高降 80% 文心大模型 4.5 Turbo 和文心大模型 X1 Tur ...

Q1. 今年以来，AI 市场的温度在如何变化？ A： 今年上半年，整个一级市场（尤其是 AI 领域）之差可以说是十年所未见。 AI 赛道从去年 3 月左右开始火起来，下场创业的很多都拿到了融资，但 9 月之后形势开始急转直下 (原因我们在去年的 年终总结 里也有写 过)。到了今年，市场还在进一步变冷，从 1 月到 5 月，拿到主流机构投资的 AI 公司不会超过 30 家，其中相当一部分还是追加轮次的公 司。 这个数字大概是十年前的百分之一，也就是说整个市场的融资难度提高了百倍。在这个数字之下，绝大多数人的任何选择和努力都是无效 的。 Q2. 为什么机构出手这么少？是他们需要更多时间跟踪和学习吗？ A： 我们接触了这么多机构，其实非常能理解为什么他们不出手： 1）讲大故事的是否能做出来？AI 能做到吗？大厂竞争怎么办？大模型做了怎么办？ 2）现在能赚钱的、有数据的，会不会不够 AI？是不是太像生意？市场是不是不大？ 3）AI 未来到底会怎么发展？甚至大模型到底行不行？ 其实说穿了，就是现在这件事有太多的不确定性。机构如果仍然在之前的评价体系里，就一定是无法出手的。 所以我觉得问题不是说大家 对于这事的了解还不够 ...
