This cutting-edge model, based on the Alibaba Cloud's Thousand Questions Open Source Model, has been seamlessly integrated with the Mini "Sitian" telescope array at the Xinglong Observatory of the National Astronomical Observatory. This innovative endeavor not only signifies the practical application of mega-models in the realm of science but also pioneers their utilization in astronomical observation.
Traditionally, astronomical observations have relied heavily on the close collaboration between researchers and observation assistants. They must closely monitor meteorological changes, adjust observation plans as needed, and remain in the observation room awaiting the return of data for real-time analysis.
However, this process heavily relies on manual intervention, leading to inefficiency and difficulties in simultaneously controlling multiple telescopes.
The launch of "StarSpeak 3.0" aims to address this long-standing challenge in the field of astronomy. Leveraging the Alibaba Cloud Tongyi Qianwen model and Bailian platform, this model, trained on data corrected by over 300,000 experts, demonstrates outstanding capabilities in fields like astrophysics.
With integration into the Mini "Sitian" telescope array, "StarSpeak 3.0" exhibits robust autonomous control and analysis capabilities. It autonomously queries celestial coordinates based on mission requirements, controls telescopes for observations, and swiftly retrieves and processes data after a single exposure.
Based on this data, the large-scale model can intelligently assess the observational value of target sources and provide recommendations for the next observation steps.
Looking ahead, the StarSpeak large-scale model will also integrate with the national observatory's large telescope array, "Sitian." This national-level astronomical infrastructure project is expected to possess 72-meter-class telescopes by 2030, generating approximately 140TB of processed data per night, making it one of the most efficient sky survey projects globally.
The integration of the StarSpeak large-scale model will greatly free up the hands of researchers, allowing them to focus more on their research work and improve research efficiency.
"The newly upgraded StarSpeak large-scale model is evolving towards intelligence," said Li Yuyang, from the National Observatory's AI Working Group. "StarSpeak will absorb more knowledge from various astronomical subfields, integrate existing research models, algorithms, and achievements, and establish a new astronomy + AI paradigm of 'One For All.' StarSpeak will lower the barriers for astronomers in interdisciplinary communication and work, improve research efficiency, and enable astronomers to focus more on astronomical discoveries."
