AI "Gold Rush" great times: from the mobile development model to see Baidu Dueros commercialization why success?

Turn the time back to ten years, in 2008, the Smart machine has just begun its journey, the developer's imagination is far less abundant than today, the scientific and technological community does not seem to know, the next ten years with a thing: platform.

In 2008, Google officially released Android 1.0. Since then, in the era of mobile internet, touch screen has become the main way of human-computer interaction. Based on the developer's ECO and mobile application Development business model for iOS and Android, the world's fastest-growing "business" has been built up over the past 10 years, fulfilling the business dreams and life value of countless developers.

At the time of the AI era, the voice interaction began to reverse the existence of human-computer interaction, and the new relationship between the user and the device began to build. Under such conditions, referring to the law of the era of mobile interconnection, the new demand for the underlying platform is also brewing, developers of commercial wild hope, seems to have quietly put on the agenda.

201,800 degrees AI Developer Conference (Baidu Create 2018), Baidu Intelligent Life Business Group (SLG) general manager Jing officially released Dueros 3.0. This is known as the AI era of Android's bottom system, in the technology, business and development of ecological and other areas of the overall upgrade.

After the new technology upgrade and the establishment of the cooperative ecology and business model, we can see that Dueros is closer to the target of Ai era Android.

There is always a surprising coincidence in history. In contrast to today's AI era and the eve of a massive mobile internet outbreak, we will find that the essential requirements of the two-era core ecosystem are so similar. By comparing the common elements of the two-era platform, we may be able to clearly understand the opportunities that Dueros brings to today's developers and AI Eco-collaborators.

If time is a mirror, then the 10-year-old Android and Dueros may be talking about some of the laws and thoughts in the history of human-computer interaction.

In contrast to the development ecology of the mobile application era, we found that the AI operating platform wanted to build a positive developer ecosystem that would allow developers, markets and platforms to move forward together, seemingly having to have three "features".

The basis for developers ' business value: technical standards beyond the industry

Android, ten years ago, was not grown alone in a wilderness. In fact, the largest operating system at the time was Symbian. But from publishing to becoming the world's first, Android took only three years. There are many business models and industrial logic that can be analyzed, but the bottom line is that Android has a cross-generational blow to competing products from full stack technology solutions to development friendliness.

On the hardware side, the lack of technology may be used in marketing and brand, but as far as the operating system is concerned, the difference in technical capability is the inability of the Organization to crush the industry.

Today's situation is also evident in the Dueros open platform that has just been upgraded to 3.0. For some time, the judgment of AI speech interaction was measured by the values of wake-up rate, semantic understanding precision and so on. In other words, the technical standard of the industry is "more or less". But just Dueros announced the new natural dialogue and interactive technology, but the genuine completion of the "No or there" of the gap in the industry.

The epoch-making nature dialogue interaction of one of the three major elements of DuerOS3.0 includes two main aspects: the enhancement of the core technical ability, the development of the scene and the solution. Core Competencies, DuerOS3.0 brings the full upgrade of natural language interaction technology, providing emotional voice broadcast, speech recognition, child mode, geek mode, intelligent guidance and error correction. These capabilities are completely out of the reach of the conversational AI platform that we were familiar with, such as geek mode, which allows human-computer interaction to cancel wake-up words and complete multiple rounds of long-time memory conversations.

Another example of emotional voice broadcast technology, the use of wavenet speech synthesis technology, so that machine language fluency and natural degrees greatly increased, even to the human voice difficult to distinguish the point of truth.

Scenarios and solutions, DuerOS3.0 can deliver over 20 cross-scene, cross-device solutions, including screen-enabled solutions, Bluetooth device solutions, and industry solutions.

New technology capabilities to join and open source, so that the dialogue-type AI platform of the core technology dispute lost suspense. From the voice recognition rate, multi-turn dialogue ability, dialogue and memory capacity, such as core indicators, to the access to the skill platform, and then to a number of major technical solutions to the system of integration. Dueros on the leading edge of technology, just as the same year with interactive experience and technical solutions to quickly capture the hardware market of Android and iOS. Advanced technical ability also means that with the vast development space, to realize the business value of developers, technology is the foundation of all.

Platform-friendly and eco-open: The developer's value pass

As the bottom platform of the pan-intelligent era, it not only needs the technical hurricane, but also the ability to absorb and embrace ecological partners. Let each industry's developers, manufacturers to find their own location in the ecological, and thus play unlimited creativity. Android's open development door, the establishment of cooperative ecology, can be regarded as the most correct one-step strategy. In 2007, prior to the market, Google had developed an open mobile alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecoms operators to develop an improved Android system. Open and split, so Google quickly built up the mobile era of ecological forest.

Such a situation, in the victory of the AI era today seems to be repeating again. In the advent of AI speech and AI life, the relevant eco-collaborators appear more complex. There are also more patterns to join in the AI era of platform integration. The platform's eco-friendliness and identification of open-source open strategies are a priority for developers who want to help them achieve their business value and drive the market forward with skills and creativity.

In this case, based on the full stack solution, open the different levels of ecological door, is the new "time-based platform" core task. After upgrading the 3.0 release, Dueros has opened the door from hardware to software, from skill to content, from chip to frame, with hardware partners, chip vendors, module vendors, content vendors, and developers to find locations and opportunities.

Especially in the key step of AI speech ecology, skill development. DUEROS3.0 provides comprehensive open source and support for skill developers, providing comprehensive skills development tools including basic tools, screen-based skills, and pay-for-skill development. And in the promotion areas that developers value most, Dueros 3.0 is a skill store, small home card and query promotion as a distribution portal to accurately promote the quality of the skills from the developer.

It is understood that at present Dueros has brought together more than 16,000 developers, on-line skills of more than 500, the number of skills more than 15 types. Through AI to the last kilometer of ecological forest, is Dueros battle ai era, become the core channel of AI Android. After the huge number of developers and a lot of mainstream brands join, consumers enter and use Dueros smart life will become very low cost, XXX. It is also an important link to the torrent of AI rolling forward.

Winning business closed loop: Developer Value Dueros

The rapid success of Android was largely dependent on its clear logic of the business model, which indirectly spawned the huge industry of mobile payments, making it possible for countless developers to profit from the mobile internet business. Apple, for example, is also giving priority to the Apple Store when it comes to building the mobile kingdom, which guarantees the developer's revenue patterns and profitability rules to inspire a long-term viability of the platform.

These mobile era of consensus, in the AI era did not become dross, but in the developers accustomed to the platform ecosystem today, must give priority to ensure that developers business interests, to talk about long-term vitality and creativity. Based on this, we can see that dueros around the voice skills to give a lot of reasonable and orderly commercial solutions. Provide developers with the ability to pay, pay skills, hardware promotion programs, as well as the provision of development funds to disseminate resources, cloud server education growth and traffic support incubation fund and other forms of support, fully empower developers to support the billion-dollar developer program. Give developers complete, flexible, targeted skills and content business solutions, and attract a large number of head skills developers and voice content collaborators into it.

In contrast to the Apple Store app market, we'll find that the skill store on Dueros has completed a complete commercial closed-loop build. Buying an app in the iOS system can generally be divided into direct purchase and use after purchase, the design seems simple, but it is indicative of different business ingenuity and platform model. In Dueros, the same can be found in the Skell store in the corresponding both pay and skills within the pay model, users directly can buy 2.99 yuan for a Discovery Channel content, but also listen to a story of Uncle Kay, and then consider the full amount of purchase skills and content. Similar to the mobile era, developers will also be able to live at different levels of partitioning and business empowerment.

When the door to the voice skills opens, it is easy for developers to find the right business model to build a healthy business ecosystem. and the voice skills and platform, hardware of the three benign drive, will also bring developers endless snowball value, to achieve rapid ecological expansion.

For developers, the most important thing is undoubtedly the opportunity, and the arrival of DuerOS3.0 means that the business opportunity of AI voice is basically mature.

Conclusion

When we hear the robot call people in Chinese, the effect is difficult to distinguish between true and false; when we really do a domestic driverless car, perhaps we have reason to believe that in the AI this World technology race, China will not be the "demographic dividend" "Big cottage" role, but the real leader, is the center and hub of World science and technology.

In the Baidu AI developers Conference, these have really appeared in front of us. It can be said that a decade ago, the wave of smart phones, let us witness the vitality of China's science and technology industry, how Majestic, and today's rise in the AI era, but may let us witness the Chinese science and technology formally boarded the C-position, the next era of the founders.

Of course, today may be all too early, the maze to the depths of the voice of the faint secretly waiting for the light. But some signs have emerged, and over the next few years, the world's voice interaction has been a standard for Chinese platforms, and it's been a good day for us to get excited. The Chinese AI developer, perhaps shortly thereafter, will carry more meaning.
