BEIJING, Aug. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 36Kr Holdings Inc. ("36Kr" or
the "Company") (NASDAQ: KRKR), a prominent brand and a pioneering
platform dedicated to serving New Economy participants in
China, today announced that it has
entered into a strategic partnership with Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) to
join hands in broadening artificial intelligence ("AI")
applications across 36Kr's media platform and enterprise services,
driving innovation and empowering growth.
With the emergence of AI technology, 36Kr has proactively
integrated AI into its premium content creation. Under this
partnership with Baidu, 36Kr will leverage the superior
capabilities of Baidu's Wenxin large language model and its digital
avatar platform, "XiLing," to enrich and intelligentize the
Company's digital content offerings, engaging users with more
timely and informative reporting while substantially elevating
content production efficiency. Through these initiatives, 36Kr will
build a full-service, omni-channel media capability matrix.
In the meantime, 36Kr will collaborate with Baidu to create an
application marketplace showcasing applications that offer a broad
array of large language model functions. The two parties will
employ diverse resources to promote and expand potential large
language model deployment scenarios. This will enable developers
and enterprises to access and utilize large language model
applications with ease, thereby invigorating the digital
transformation of a wide range of industries.
Additionally, 36Kr will closely work with Baidu to launch a
large language model solution for media and enterprise services. To
address industry-specific pain points, the two parties will
seamlessly integrate 36Kr's advantages with Baidu's content
production and intelligent customer service capabilities enabled by
its AI technology and large language models. The solution will
offer enterprise clients a full-service package encompassing
AI-powered content creation, intelligent recommendations, and
conversational AI for higher customer engagement, among others.
Finally, yet importantly, 36Kr and Baidu will work together on
training program development to raise the awareness and perception
of artificial intelligence among enterprises. These programs will
help enterprise clients more thoroughly understand and more
effectively leverage AI technology through systematic training and
hands-on practice. By supporting more enterprises to embrace AI
technology, 36Kr will help and empower them in cost reduction,
efficiency improvement, and business innovation.
Mr. Dagang Feng, Co-chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of 36Kr, commented, "As a media frontrunner
and full-service platform in the New Economy sector, 36Kr has
consistently demonstrated astute business acumen and visionary
insights into AI and other cutting-edge technologies that break new
ground. We are excited to collaborate with Baidu, a pioneer in the
field of artificial intelligence, to fuel 36Kr's ongoing efforts to
expand AI applications across our business. We believe that our
strategic collaboration with Baidu will propel the evolution of AI
technology and unleash new possibilities in the media and
enterprise service industries, empowering more efficient growth in
the future."
