The "Salute to the Chinese Economy - Entrepreneurs' Night 2025 Gala" was held on January 29 in Beijing. KNOWLEDGE ATLAS Chairman Liu Debing attended to accept the tribute. Chen Xudong, Chairman and General Manager of IBM Greater China Group, and Chen Wei, Chairman of CITIC Press Group, witnessed the honor.
This is a group of explorers who fear no hardship and dare to "reach high." KNOWLEDGE ATLAS has made extraordinary efforts and accumulated profound expertise in fundamental AI research and key technologies. At the crossroads of technological pathways, they abandoned simple follow-the-leader strategies and chose the more challenging path of independent research and development. From their open-source models repeatedly topping international platforms to their technological achievements serving global developers and enterprises, KNOWLEDGE ATLAS has proven with solid technological footprints that China's AI innovation has the capability to define the cutting edge and participate in global competition and cooperation.
Chen Xudong stated that the first large model he used was from KNOWLEDGE ATLAS, which was China's first large model launched for the market. He expressed his hopes and blessings for KNOWLEDGE ATLAS to achieve even greater success on its future path.
Chen Wei expressed the hope that in the new wave of technological revolution, there will always be China's finest entrepreneurs and most outstanding technology entrepreneurs.
When delivering his acceptance speech, Liu Debing stated that KNOWLEDGE ATLAS started from a Tsinghua University laboratory and has come this far; behind its journey from research to industry and to the market is a group of people committed to long-term, sustained investment.
He mentioned that making machines think like humans is the direction the KNOWLEDGE ATLAS team chose from its very first day of establishment, and it is the enduring vision and goal for everyone at KNOWLEDGE ATLAS.
"The 'Z' in KNOWLEDGE ATLAS is the last letter of the alphabet, representing the ultimate frontier. We hope to reach the ultimate frontier of intelligence in the journey of exploring AGI. I thank the team for their professionalism, patience, and long-termism," he said.
The following is a transcript of Liu Debing's speech: Hello everyone, I am Liu Debing, Chairman of KNOWLEDGE ATLAS Development Company. I am very happy to receive this honor. I believe this honor does not belong to me personally, but more so to the entire KNOWLEDGE ATLAS team.
KNOWLEDGE ATLAS started from a Tsinghua University laboratory and has come this far; behind its journey to industry and the market is a group of people committed to long-term, persistent, and stubborn investment. Making machines think like humans is the direction the KNOWLEDGE ATLAS team chose from its very first day, and it is the enduring vision and goal for everyone at KNOWLEDGE ATLAS.
In 2021, we launched our own algorithmic architecture, GLM. Then this year, the release of our GLM-4.7 has enabled our model to rank among the world's leaders, laying a solid foundation for our push towards AGI.
The 'Z' in KNOWLEDGE ATLAS is the last letter of the alphabet, representing the ultimate frontier. We hope to reach the ultimate frontier of intelligence in the journey of exploring AGI. I thank the team for their professionalism, patience, and long-termism. I dedicate this honor once again to the team. The road ahead is still long, and we will continue to work hard. Thank you all.
