Large Language Models (LLMs) are advancing at an unprecedented pace, reshaping artificial intelligence (AI) in real-world applications. Beyond generating and understanding natural language, these models are evolving into autonomous agents capable of dynamic interaction with complex environments. In this talk, Dr. Sun will explore the practical integration of LLMs from two key perspectives: as intelligent agents and as powerful linguistic models. Additionally, he will highlight two groundbreaking innovations—DeepSeek and o3-mini—that exemplify the cutting edge of LLM technology and its future impact.
