Capitalizing on the opportunities in AI development, units in the tobacco industry are actively pursuing the localization deployment or upgrade of DeepSeek large models, exploring applications in various scenarios and fields, and developing abilities in AI perception, AI decision-making, and human-machine interaction to deepen the empowering effect of AI technology on business development.
Today, let's take a look at the exploration and implementation of the localization deployment of the DeepSeek large model in some units of the tobacco industry.
The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Tobacco Monopoly Bureau (Agency) recently upgraded the AI large language model DeepSeek from version V2.5 to version R1, planned for deployment in October 2024, to provide more efficient and accurate intelligent services for all system staff.
The latest upgrade of DeepSeek further enriches and expands five major scenarios of the "Guiyan AI Assistant": intelligent Q&A, intelligent data questioning, compliance review, writing assistant, and analytical reports. The "intelligent Q&A" integrates internal system data such as official document systems and comprehensive management platforms, while also incorporating external information sources to provide higher quality answers in policy interpretation, business processes, and operational norms. The "intelligent data questioning" seamlessly connects 58 key data indicators and dimensions of marketing business, utilizing strong semantic understanding capabilities to accurately grasp users' data needs and display precise and detailed data charts. The "compliance review" expands the identification of potential risk points in various types of report materials and offers more rational improvement suggestions. The "writing assistant" gathers news resources from internal and external corporate websites, providing fresh wording, clearer logic, and more detailed details in writing tasks. The "analytical reports" conduct in-depth exploration and multidimensional analysis of enterprise data to expand 24 categories of marketing data analysis reports, providing a comprehensive and scientific basis for management decisions.
Recently, the Anhui Tobacco Business Law Popularization and Publicity Education Base has launched the first "smart and interactive" DeepSeek scene application, called "Little Tao Lawyer 2.0".
This application, targeting the robot "Xiao Tao Lawyer" in the legal education base, has been upgraded to version 2.0 through the transformation of adapting the DeepSeek large language model, plugging in the RAG knowledge base, customizing workflows, and integrating Internet data resources. After the upgrade, in addition to the existing legal consultation function, it has enhanced features such as voice recognition, knowledge retrieval, and situational understanding. This allows it to provide more refined and personalized communication, legal consultation, venue guidance, and other services for visiting guests, further enriching the form of exhibition explanations in the exhibition hall.
Exclusive sales of AI intelligent assistants
Recently, the "Specialized AI Intelligent Assistant" independently developed by the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, has officially launched and started running. This intelligent law enforcement tool is equipped with the DeepSeek large model and relies on local knowledge bases and the national unified monopoly supervision platform to provide comprehensive intelligent support for monopoly enforcement officers.
After the AI smart assistant launched and began operating, law enforcement officers only need to ask questions through voice or text to the AI assistant, which can then access relevant data from the local tobacco monopoly supervision knowledge base to provide indexes and answers. This not only helps law enforcement officers improve their knowledge of the industry, but also greatly increases work efficiency. According to statistics, in traditional modes, it takes over 10 minutes on average to search for legal provisions and document references, but with the AI smart assistant, this time is shortened to less than 10 seconds, increasing efficiency by over 60 times. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, the AI smart assistant can provide personalized enforcement process guidance for law enforcement officers, effectively reducing procedural errors and operational mistakes, ensuring that law enforcement actions are standard and legal.
