In a groundbreaking initiative, China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, alongside Ocean Press and 360 Digital Security, has launched OceanDS, the world's first operational large language model specifically designed for ocean-related tasks.

This innovative model represents a significant advancement over general-purpose AI models, tailored to meet the unique demands of marine research.

OceanDS is powered by an extensive ocean-centric database, comprising over 1.8 billion data tokens sourced from marine-related books, research papers, and policy documents, enhanced through incremental vector technology.

Prioritizing safety and accessibility, the platform features a robust framework that ensures stable performance and offers flexible access options for users.

The model has demonstrated superior performance, surpassing leading general models by as much as 25.3 percentage points in accuracy on professional queries, as evidenced by the OpenCompass benchmark.

Successful pilot programs conducted by the research team aim to broaden the application of large language models in natural resource management and other sectors, aligning with China's vision of transforming industries through specialized AI tools.
