Chinese technology company iFlytek has unveiled a new natural language processing (NLP) system called iFLYOS Chat.

The system is designed to rival popular NLP systems like OpenAI's GPT and Google's BERT.

iFLYOS Chat is being marketed as a "brain for smart products" and can be integrated into a range of devices and platforms.

The new system utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze and process natural language input from users.

iFlytek has been facing increased scrutiny from Chinese regulators over its handling of user data and privacy concerns.

The new system is expected to be particularly useful for Chinese language processing and could have applications in a range of industries.
