DeepBlue goes deep in the ‘brain’

Changning-based DeepBlue Technology joined the list of 2023 China Unicorn Enterprises by Greatwall Strategy Consultants at the recently held 2023 China (Suzhou) Unicorn Enterprises Conference.

DeepBlue Technology also announced the launch of the “DeepBlue Silicon-based Brain SaaS Platform,” which aims to provide individuals and businesses with more convenient and comprehensive intelligent applications for large language models.

Enterprises or individuals can use functions such as creating virtual images by registering on the “Silicon-based Brain SaaS Platform,” said DeepBlue Technology Founder and Chairman Chen Haibo. 

Enterprises can quickly generate a personalized virtual image by simply describing the desired persona. This convenient way of creation gives enterprises more autonomy, enables them to create a personalized image consistent with the brand image, and provides external services of virtual humans after the completion of the subsequent knowledge system construction, said Chen.

“The ‘Silicon-based Brain SaaS Platform’ provides comprehensive customization functions from image to knowledge system, supporting the construction of enterprise knowledge system. 

“By importing relevant documents and data such as product manuals, operation manuals and FAQs into the platform, the big model automatically generates knowledge graph for products, businesses, etc, and can be applied to customer service, sales consulting, and other fields. This function reduces the threshold for enterprises to use the big language model,” Chen said.

“The ‘Silicon-based Brain SaaS Platform’ can be configured and published to achieve zero code integration into enterprise service systems through various methods such as H5, mini-programs, APIs, etc. Enterprises can choose the most suitable access method based on their own needs and different scenarios,” Chen added.

Park resumes pondside view

After nearly eight years of absence, the Chenjia Pond in Zhongshan Park temporarily shut down for the construction of the Beiheng Passage was open again after the enclosure was removed.

“I came in to take a look when I noticed that the fence had been removed. After strolling around, I felt that the view was wider than before, and the rest booth, seats, and walkways by the pond were wider, more, and longer than before,” said Tang Dang, who lives nearby.

The Rainbow Bridge across the pond is with artificial fog making equipment installed on both sides, and the entire stone bridge is between the transpiration of water mist and the swallowing of haze. 

The artistic conception is profound and quiet, attracting many people to take photos here.

In addition to restoring old scenic spots, a new waterfront station is also being built in the area. The building integrates various functions such as boat dock, management room, escape route, corridor, and is equipped with facilities such as public bathrooms and seats, providing more convenience for citizens to visit the park. 

There will be more forms of activities held here, which complement the overall cultural atmosphere of the park.
