Immediately afterwards, Bai Yingqi, Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of China Telecom Ningxia, delivered a speech, saying that Ningxia has built a prosperous computing power ecology with its unique advantages in green energy, climate and water sources, as well as precise policy support. After 10 years of accumulation, Ningxia Telecom has built a national and group dual center to provide abundant intelligent computing resources and application services. A complete industrial ecology has been formed, including 1 ecosystem, 2 intelligent computing bases, 3 major cooperation alliances, and 1 computing power industrial park. The holding of this conference will inject new vitality into the development of the digital industry in Ningxia and Northwest China, lead the new development of the digital industry, and make greater contributions to economic and social development.
Jizhi AI platform was released to lead the innovative experience of computing power
At this conference, the one-stop platform for large models and applications of Jizhi AI (hereinafter referred to as the "Jizhi AI Platform") was released. Jizhi AI platform is a one-stop AI large model platform under China Telecom and e Cloud, based on e Cloud, integrating computing power services, model inference services, online industrial parks, AI tool sets, and data services, and is committed to "gathering global wisdom and making AI within reach". Based on "5G + cloud + mid-to-high-end", the platform has launched products such as "AI cloud pen" and "AI digital human", which are closely integrated with actual application scenarios and will bring a more efficient, intelligent and safe computing experience to all walks of life.
It is worth noting that the country's first "Online Computing Power Industrial Park" jointly built by Ningxia Telecom and domestic leading artificial intelligence companies was also officially released, and the lighting ceremony of the settled enterprises was held at the same time.
The project signing alliance was established to create a new ecology of the computing power industry
In order to create a new ecology of the computing industry and promote the innovation and application of computing technology, the China Advanced Computing Alliance, the Trusted Data Alliance and the Large Model Developer Alliance were officially established at the meeting.
The China Advanced Computing Alliance aims to build an open, cooperative and win-win platform. Bai Yingqi, Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of China Telecom Ningxia, said: "We have built an AI developer alliance to promote AI+ actions, so that developers can focus on industry model development in terms of network traffic guarantee, computing resource guarantee, marketing guarantee and incubation mechanism guarantee, and no longer worry about computing power, data and marketing. ”
The Trusted Data Alliance is committed to building an open, transparent, secure and controllable data ecosystem, providing developers and model enterprises with secure, credible, verifiable, negotiable, and exchangeable data assets through the co-construction and sharing of data resources, data quality standards and evaluations, data security and privacy protection, and industry ecological construction.
The Large Model Developer Alliance provides a convenient, easy-to-use, and reliable development platform for global developers, and promotes the innovation and application of AI large model technology by reducing development difficulty and cost, improving development efficiency and resource sharing. The establishment of this alliance marks an important international cooperation and exploration in the industry, and heralds a more prosperous and sustainable future for the AI field.
In addition, the conference released the list of large model demand, held the signing ceremony of the green intelligent computing data center, the strategic cooperation of cloud-network intelligent computing resource services, and the strategic cooperation of digital empowerment intelligent transportation, as well as the lighting ceremony of the Zhipu Wanka cluster, the scientific research computing platform of universities, and the construction of the "computing power town" in the Economic Development Zone, which not only demonstrated the vigorous development of the computing power industry, but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation and innovation.
The national standard of computing power was launched, and the main forum gathered big coffee
Coming to the main forum of the conference, with the launching ceremony of the national standard for computing power of China Electronics Standardization Institute and the listing ceremony of the verification unit of computing power standard, it marks another solid step in the field of computing power standardization in China.
The three national standards launched at the meeting can be used to guide the classification, measurement, scheduling and evaluation of computing resources, and are applicable to producers, managers, traders and operators of computing resources, which will help build and improve the computing service ecosystem, promote the sharing of cloud computing resources, and help the high-quality development of computing infrastructure.
Meng Qingguo, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Public Policy and Management of Tsinghua University, distinguished professor of "Changjiang Scholars" of the Ministry of Education, and executive dean of the Institute of National Governance of Tsinghua University, combined with typical cases at home and abroad, analyzed the ways of empowering new quality productivity with data elements, and the innovation of data element governance system, which provided valuable ideas and inspiration for the participants.
Zhang Yi, Director of the Intelligent Interdisciplinary Technology Research Center of Sichuan University, Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellow, and Chairman of the Sichuan Artificial Intelligence Society, discussed the development trend and cutting-edge technology of neural network models with the theme of "New Generation of Neural Network Models".
Dou Dejing, Chief Scientist of Nortel Digital Intelligence and Distinguished Professor of Fudan University, gave a detailed introduction to the basic principles and technical characteristics of generative AI, as well as the application prospects of this technology in various industrial fields, with the theme of "Principles and Industrial Applications of Generative AI".
