Baidu AI Cloud Financial Services China Translated from Chinese

Unnamed Joint-Stock Commercial Bank (某股份制商业银行)

Customer Service Automation · Enterprise Knowledge Search · Risk Management

The bank needed one enterprise large-model foundation that could serve marketing, risk control, document Q&A, coding, and customer-service scenarios instead of leaving AI capabilities fragmented across separate teams and tools.

Annual engineering labor costs could fall by more than 20% with Wenxin Kuaima.
Average call duration can be reduced by 15 seconds.
Customer-service knowledge recommendation accuracy is expected to improve from 30% to more than 60%.
Insurance-document knowledge-retrieval coverage accuracy can reach more than 85%.

Reported impact

Business outcome

The bank created a reusable generative-AI foundation that lowered development cost, improved knowledge retrieval and service quality, and gave multiple business lines a faster path from experimentation to production.

  • Cost Reduction
  • Customer Experience
  • Productivity Improvement

Solution

Baidu AI Cloud helped the bank build a bank-wide large-model stack on the Qianfan platform. At the infrastructure layer, the project established a heterogeneous model-service cluster to support both training and inference. At the platform layer, Qianfan unified data preparation, training, evaluation, tuning, and deployment so models could be governed across their full lifecycle. On top of that stack, the bank adopted enterprise-grade visual scenario debugging and document-data preprocessing to ground applications on internal financial and insurance content. Reusable AI-native services, including Wenxin Kuaima for developers, knowledge-retrieval middleware for document Q&A, and an intelligent customer-service assistant that summarizes live customer issues and recommends answers, were exposed to business teams so new use cases could launch on a shared governed platform rather than duplicated point solutions.

Data flow

Internal business and insurance documents are preprocessed through the enterprise framework, then routed into Qianfan-managed large models running on the heterogeneous cluster. Grounded retrieval results and model outputs are served back into coding, knowledge-Q&A, and customer-service experiences, where agents and employees receive recommendations, summaries, and generated responses.

Solution architecture

6 components · 4 layers
  1. Ingest
    • Visual Scenario Debugging and Document Preprocessing Framework Prepares enterprise documents and lets teams visually configure and test large-model applications for different business scenarios.
  2. Compute
    • Heterogeneous Model Service Cluster Supplies the compute environment used to train and serve large models for enterprise workloads.
  3. Serving
    • Wenxin Kuaima Acts as the bank's coding assistant for engineering teams building and maintaining business applications.
    • Knowledge Retrieval Middleware Grounds question answering on enterprise insurance and business documents so users can retrieve reliable answers quickly.
    • Intelligent Customer Service Assistant Summarizes customer questions in real time and recommends candidate answers to service staff.
  4. Orchestration
    • Qianfan Large Model Platform Provides unified model lifecycle management for training, evaluation, tuning, and deployment across banking use cases.

Architecture clues

  • Enterprise document preprocessing is part of the application-development framework so internal files can ground model behavior.
  • Reusable AI-native applications include a code assistant and an intelligent customer-service assistant.
  • The bank built a heterogeneous model-service cluster specifically to support large-model training and inference.
  • The stack spans infrastructure, platform, framework, and application layers for bank-wide generative-AI delivery.

    Measures whether the customer's operational problem is specific enough to compare.
  • Implementation depth25/25
    Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
  • Outcome specificity20/20
    Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
  • Quantified impact25/25
    4 metrics describe measurable impact.
  • Deployment scale10/10
    Rewards evidence of a live or scaled deployment and meaningful integration scope.
