The first "AI Evaluation Officer" in China is now in operation: Expected to save over 540 billion CNY in procurement costs for central state-owned enterprises annually

According to reports on April 17th, the recently launched intelligent unmanned review system, exemplified by the State Energy Group, has significantly improved the accuracy of intelligent reviews by innovating procurement scenarios using AI technology.

This move not only reflects the comprehensive strengthening of central state-owned enterprises in supplier management but also demonstrates the improvement of the digitalized and intelligent procurement transaction control system, saving a considerable amount of operating costs for enterprises. Data shows that in the full year of 2022, procurement costs were saved by over 540 billion CNY, with AI playing a crucial role.

In the field of intelligent review and procurement, the large model-driven "AI Evaluation Officer" is gradually penetrating the energy industry, intelligently enhancing the fairness and transparency of the procurement process, thus achieving a new leap in procurement value and efficiency. s_9489c50281734b7badfe4bb85a6bf9fc.png Recently, China Coal Development Co., Ltd. has partnered with iFLYTEK to integrate the Sparkle Mega-Model into their systems, aiming to use the "AI Bid Evaluator" to enhance quality and efficiency within the company.

iFLYTEK will build an energy industry-specific bid evaluation model based on the Sparkle Mega-Model, incorporating historical data from China Coal Development. By adopting a low-intrusion integration approach, this model can be quickly merged with existing bidding and procurement systems. It will support intelligent assistance in sourcing document preparation, intelligent bid evaluation for tendering and non-tendering processes, and intelligent negotiation review. This initiative will drive the full-spectrum intelligent upgrade of bidding and procurement operations. s_5db8fb1c4ccf4f5684e802cebe9b6bfa.png The introduction of the iFLYTEK Xinghuo Big Model technology enables intelligent bidding evaluation systems to actively learn from "historical bidding documents and evaluation reports," forming enterprise-specific bidding big model knowledge bases. This not only changes the traditional bidding evaluation method but also greatly improves the efficiency of evaluation, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

In the energy group with which they have cooperated, through the practice of intelligent evaluation of non-bidding businesses and the automation of identification and analysis of procurement documents and quotation documents, the efficiency of procurement document writing has increased by 50%, and the efficiency of evaluation has increased by 70%. s_d64334a06f534148aedea0d55faafa69.png The deployment of "AI assessors" is made possible by the powerful technological foundation of iFlytek's StarFire Mega Model. The collaboration between iFlytek and Huawei has resulted in the creation of the first domestically produced computing platform, "Feixing No.1," which supports a scale of up to ten thousand cards. This advancement has enabled the iFlytek StarFire Mega Model V3.5 to achieve 96% of the coding capability of GPT-4 Turbo.

iFlytek also plans to release version 4.0 of the StarFire Mega Model in June of this year, aiming to further demonstrate its competitiveness against international mega models, particularly benchmarking against the current capabilities of GPT-4 Turbo.

According to the "Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan," by 2025, artificial intelligence will become the primary driving force behind China's industrial upgrading and economic transformation. The core industry of artificial intelligence is expected to exceed 400 billion CNY, driving related industries to surpass 5 trillion CNY. Currently, large Chinese enterprises are actively planning and implementing artificial intelligence projects, with over 10% of them integrating artificial intelligence into their core business, thereby enhancing their industrial status or optimizing operational efficiency.

Faced with a market exceeding a trillion CNY, we believe that more and more "AI +" applications will emerge, driving growth in related industries. In the future, various industries will see more "AI employees" entering the workforce, harnessing the creative power of mega-model technology to transform into new productive forces, playing crucial roles in various fields and scenarios, and promoting the sustained and healthy development of the socio-economy. s_ee57c974cb03491f8158469f7331a64a.jpg
