Recently, Zoom Video Communications announced that its artificial intelligence system achieved the highest score of 48.1% in a test called "Humanity's Last Exam," surpassing Google's Gemini 3.0, which previously held the record with 45.8%. This news has sparked widespread attention and discussion in the technology community.

Zoom's Chief Technology Officer, Huang Xuedong, stated in a blog that the company did not train large language models on its own, but instead adopted a "Federated AI" approach, combining multiple existing models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Zoom built a system called the "Z Scorer," which can evaluate answers from different models and select the best output. The system integrates the capabilities of various AI models through an "Explore-Validate-Federate" strategy.

However, reactions within the industry have been mixed. Some AI experts have criticized Zoom's approach, arguing that it simply combines API interfaces without real innovation. For example, AI engineer Max Rumpf said that Zoom has not trained a model but still claims to have created "the most advanced technology." He believes this approach conceals the truth and undermines the efforts of other model developers.

In contrast, some commentators believe Zoom's approach is the best practice in the industry, similar to how models are integrated to win in Kaggle competitions. Others point out that Zoom's achievement demonstrates the future direction of enterprise AI, which is to combine the capabilities of multiple models rather than solely focusing on building the strongest single model.

Zoom's strategy not only avoids the risks of relying on a single model but also provides users with the most suitable AI solutions. As Zoom continues to develop in the AI field, users will be able to test its practical value and effectiveness through the features of its AI Companion 3.0.
