China’s Zhihu introduces AI tool to respond to users’ questions · TechNode

Zhihu, China’s Quora-like question-and-answer platform, unveiled its latest AI-driven tool named zhida.ai last weekend, which is intended to provide “a new way to obtain reliable information” supported by quality content within the Zhihu community, according to the introduction posted on the platform’s official website. The company has partnered with domestic AI startup Model Best to develop the artificial intelligence foundation model Zhihaitu AI, which was released last April, and the model has been deployed to drive the new Q&A feature. When a user sends a question to the tool, it replies with a summary, a detailed answer, and a list of sources at the top, with direct links to relevant Zhihu pages. [Zhihu, in Chinese]
