Seven doctoral students from Beijing Zhongguancun Academy successfully trained a 7B large language model, ZGCM-1, from scratch in just three months. They achieved this by leveraging a team of hundreds of AI agents to handle tasks such as data processing, experimentation, and evaluation, embodying an "AI for AI" development paradigm. The team has publicly released the model's code, data, and training logs, allowing for full traceability and reproducibility of the entire process. While ZGCM-1 performs comparably to other 7B models and even rivals larger models in certain reasoning tasks, the project highlights the potential and current limitations of AI-assisted AI development.
