China Agricultural University (CAU) just dropped a game-changer for agriculture: the Shennong Large Model 3.0! Unveiled at the 2025 World Agrifood Innovation Conference in Beijing, this AI tool is set to revolutionize farming with smarter tech and lower costs. 💡
Lead researcher Wang Yaojun shared that the upgraded model slashes computational demands while boosting performance by 5%—think of it as a ‘lighter, faster, stronger’ upgrade for farmers. 🌱 The team rebuilt its architecture from scratch to balance efficiency and power, making it a Swiss Army knife for agri-problems.
Named after Shennong, the mythical ‘Divine Farmer’ who taught ancient Chinese agriculture, the model now comes with a 36-agent platform covering everything from crop monitoring to livestock management. Imagine AI drones and sensors teaming up to optimize harvests—like a TikTok trend but for tractors! 🚜
Pilot programs in Beijing, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang are already testing features like plant protection and personalized farming advice. With training on 10 million agricultural datasets and ancient farming wisdom, this AI is bridging myth and modern science. 📊
WAFI 2025, running until October 14, has gathered 780 global experts to push agrifood innovation—proving that the future of farming is both high-tech and hyper-connected. 🌍✨
