On Wednesday, China unveiled Spark X1, a deep reasoning large language model developed in line with the country's existing computational capabilities.
The model was created through a partnership between two leading Chinese AI companies, iFLYTEK and Huawei. Spark X1 has ranked as the top system in the nation for its Chinese mathematics computation abilities and has found applications in various sectors, including education and healthcare.
During a press conference, researchers showcased Spark X1's ability to answer questions from college entrance examinations, American Invitational Mathematics Examination competition, and high school Olympic contests. The model not only provided accurate answers but also elaborated on the thought processes and steps involved in problem-solving. Experts noted that, in contrast to typical large models, Spark X1's approach aligns more closely with the "slow thinking" patterns seen in humans.
Spark X1 exhibited three key traits characteristic of deep reasoning models: the ability to simplify complex problems, engage in self-exploration and verification, and enhance its training through accurate feedback.
Researchers claimed that Spark X1 outperformed ChatGPT in several recent assessments, including competitions for primary, middle, and high schools, as well as university math tests, AIME, and MATH 500.
Currently, Spark X1 is being utilized in the education sector, with approximately one hundred pilot areas in China reporting its effectiveness in offering multiple solutions to a single problem, connecting teaching concepts, and fostering students' critical thinking abilities.
In the healthcare domain, Spark X1 has shown promising initial results, achieving a 90 percent accuracy rate for specialist auxiliary diagnoses and the assessment of complex medical record quality.
