Solution

Baidu AI Cloud and Penghua Fund built a financial large-model application layer on top of Qianfan and the BaiGe heterogeneous compute platform. The implementation packaged mature large-model capabilities for text classification, summarization, entity extraction, and document retrieval into eight business scenarios spanning research, operations, and office workflows. Through the Base Zhihui financial APaaS workbench, Penghua created visual prompt templates, tuned business logic, and assembled an internal AI application marketplace with twenty skills. The resulting Penghua Wenxin platform integrates market intelligence, A-share announcement summaries, report briefs, internal rules, and product knowledge so analysts and staff can query a shared knowledge layer, retrieve cited answers, and automate repetitive reading and classification tasks without rebuilding models for every department.

Data flow

News, listed-company announcements, meeting notes, internal rules, product documents, and research reports are processed through Qianfan services running on BaiGe. Base Zhihui packages the prompts and skills for each scenario, and the Penghua Wenxin platform serves summaries, classifications, and knowledge-grounded answers back to analysts and operations staff through a shared internal marketplace.

Solution architecture

5 components · 4 layers
  1. Compute
    • Qianfan Large Model Platform Provides the core large-model capabilities for classification, summarization, extraction, and question answering.
    • BaiGe Heterogeneous Compute Platform Supplies the compute environment used to run Penghua's financial large-model workloads.
  2. Storage
    • Internal Knowledge Base Stores policies, reports, products, and internal procedures so the models can retrieve grounded answers for employees.
  3. Serving
    • Penghua Wenxin Large Model Platform Acts as the user-facing service layer for research, office, and document-intelligence applications inside the fund manager.
  4. Orchestration
    • Base Zhihui Agent (Financial APaaS Platform) Gives business teams a visual workbench to manage prompts, debug scenarios, and package reusable AI skills.

Architecture clues

  • Eight scenarios span financial event analysis, style-drift judgment, announcement summaries, meeting summaries, internal policy Q&A, element extraction, product retrieval, and report Q&A.
  • Prompt templates are managed visually through the financial APaaS workbench.
  • The knowledge-base system is connected to the large-model platform so underlying data can be updated with business changes.
  • The solution packages reusable skills into an internal application marketplace rather than building one-off assistants.
