Did Baidu Pioneer AI Scaling Laws Before OpenAI?
百度是否早于OpenAI提出了AI Scaling Law？
The debate over whether Baidu identified AI scaling laws before OpenAI has resurfaced. Scaling laws, which link model size, training data, and compute power to performance, became central to AI research after OpenAI’s 2020 paper. However, Dario Amodei, a co-author of the paper, recently revealed that he observed similar patterns in 2014 while working at Baidu. This raises questions about Baidu’s potential contributions to foundational AI concepts, challenging the prevailing notion that the U.S. solely leads large-scale AI innovation.
关于百度是否早于OpenAI发现AI规模定律的争论再次引发关注。规模定律将模型规模、训练数据和计算能力与性能提升联系起来，已成为AI研究的核心。尽管OpenAI在2020年的论文使这一理论广为人知，但该论文的合著者达里奥·阿莫代近期透露，他早在2014年于百度工作期间就观察到了类似现象。这引发了关于百度是否对AI基础概念作出重要贡献的讨论，也挑战了美国在大规模AI创新中一枝独秀的观念。
