AI Sun Wukong Talks to the World: iFLYTEK's AI Model Exhibition Debuts at the Osaka World Expo

On April 13, the Osaka-Kansai World Expo (Osaka Expo) officially opened under the theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives."

At the China Pavilion, themed "Building a Community of Life for Man and Nature — A Future Society of Green Development," China showcased some of its most advanced scientific and technological achievements — including soil samples from the Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 lunar probes, as well as an immersive experience inside the Jiaolong deep-sea submersible. By blending cutting-edge technology with cultural storytelling, the pavilion brought its exhibits to life through interactive installations, digital innovation, and AI integration—serving as a vibrant "business card" representing China on the global stage.

China's AI large model also made its debut at the Expo. A standout highlight was iFLYTEK's AI Sun Wukong, powered by iFLYTEK SPARK Large Model, a self-developed next-generation cognitive intelligence model. This artificial intelligence exhibit supports real-time interaction in Chinese, Japanese, and English. Fluent in all three languages, AI Sun Wukong integrates advanced capabilities, including multilingual speech recognition in noisy environments, emotionally expressive speech synthesis, and multimodal interaction. With its witty responses and intelligent guidance, it provides a fun and engaging experience for global visitors, making it the only large AI language model exhibit at the China Pavilion.

At the center of the booth, which seamlessly blends both virtual and physical elements, AI Sun Wukong demonstrated the powerful technology behind its iFLYTEK SPARK Large model. This cutting-edge AI model integrates multiple features, including multilingual speech recognition, noise handling in complex environments, emotionally expressive speech synthesis, and multimodal interaction, covering text, images, voice, and more. During the Expo, as large crowds gathered, AI Sun Wukong was able to listen to and understand questions from the audience, bringing the animated character of Monkey King to life with lifelike visuals and voice. It engaged visitors in real-time, interactive conversations in Chinese, Japanese, and English, offering an unforgettable experience for everyone.
