iFlytek's booth, themed "Your AI Assistant", showcased the upgraded iFlytek Spark V4.0. Launched last month, this model excels in text generation, language understanding, knowledge querying, logical reasoning, and multimodal abilities. Its capabilities set it on par with GPT-4 Turbo.

Spark V4.0 is useful for both work and daily life, as it analyses text and images to carry out task completion and dialogues. Applications utilizing the Spark model were exhibited in five areas of this year's WAIC: education, enterprise, work, life, and consumer products.

In the education zone, the iFlytek Spark Smart Blackboard, a SAIL Award winner, integrates the Spark model for intelligent lesson recording and sharing. iFlytek has also made significant strides in smart education, with two cases based on the Spark model selected as exemplary AI applications in higher education by the Ministry of Education.

At the booth, visitors were able to interact with a calligraphy robot that personalized fans with the desired characters, showcasing iFlytek's AI capabilities.
