Link here:  The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, styled as BAAI and known in Chinese as 北京智源人工智能研究院, launched the latest version of Wudao 悟道, a pre-trained deep learning model that the lab dubbed as “China’s first,” and “the world’s largest ever,” with a whopping 1.75 trillion parameters.And the corresponding twitter thread:  interesting here is BAAI is funded in part by the China’s Ministry of Science and Technology, which is China's equivalent of the NSF. The equivalent of this in the US would be for the NSF allocating billions of dollars a year only to train models.
