Launch of SparkDesk V4.0
In June, iFLYTEK launched SparkDesk V4.0, a large language model tailored to domestic computing power and built to rival models such as ChatGPT-4 Turbo. It stood out on 8 of 12 mainstream test sets and is already being shaped into approachable AI assistants for everyday and professional use. On August 30, the company added a super-personification interaction feature to SparkDesk, making conversations feel more responsive and personal.
