According to CoinMeta, Today AI, founded by Qi Junyuan, the former head of PC, has announced that it has completed over $200 million in financing. The investors include IDG Capital, Tencent, Wuyuan Capital, Ant Group, Sequoia China, Transsion Holdings, Tongge Venture Capital, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Han Yuan Assets. Today originally planned to develop software first, then hardware, and finally train its own models. However, the research and development sequence has now been adjusted to advance software and models simultaneously, and there are already early model experimental versions available. The team stated that while their programming capabilities for large models are improving, their ability to communicate naturally with users and understand individual preferences has not improved accordingly. Today hopes to specifically train models suitable for personal assistants, while the hardware is planned to be developed in collaboration with partners.
