What is SpikingBrain-1.0？
SpikingBrain-1.0 (Shunxi 1.0) is a brain-inspired spiking large model released by the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The model is built on intrinsic complexity and uses a novel non-Transformer architecture, overcoming the bottlenecks that Transformer architectures face when handling ultra-long sequences. It completes full-process training and inference on domestic GPU platforms, achieving improved efficiency and speed for large model inference on ultra-long sequences. Key advantages include highly efficient training with very small amounts of data and orders-of-magnitude improvement in inference efficiency, laying the foundation for a domestically controlled brain-inspired large model ecosystem.
