News on April 26, Baidu is delivering leading chip capabilities to more regions. Recently, Baidu, Hubei Yichang Dian Military Region Government and Shengzhe Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and the three parties will establish the "Baidu Intelligent Cloud-Kunlun Core Intelligent Ecological Center" in Yichang Dian Military Region to help Yichang build an artificial intelligence and chip industry ecology, and build Yichang Dian Military Region into a city-level artificial intelligence "core infrastructure" benchmark. This is also the first industrialization of Baidu Kunlun chip ecology nationwide.

A few days ago, Baidu, Hubei Yichang Dian Military Region Government and Shengzhe Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement

Create "Baidu Intelligent Cloud-Kunlun Core Intelligent Ecological Center"

In its 14th Five-Year Plan, Hubei Province proposed that Yichang should speed up the construction of provincial sub-central cities and regional central cities in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Yichang City ushered in major development opportunities and proposed to build "a regional advanced manufacturing center, transportation and logistics center, cultural tourism center, science and education innovation center, and modern service center". The 14th Five-Year Plan period is a critical period and breakthrough period to achieve leapfrogging and overtaking, and it is necessary to focus on the industrial chain to attract investment, continue to optimize the business environment, continuously optimize the industrial structure of the region, promote industrial agglomeration clusters, promote the development of strategic emerging industries, and help the regional economy achieve higher quality development.

Baidu is the earliest AI leader in China, with the strongest technology and the most complete layout, and is relying on full-stack, leading AI technology capabilities to build a new AI technology infrastructure. The self-developed "Intelligent Era Operating System" flying oar is the first open-source, leading technology and complete function industrial-level deep learning platform in China. Baidu Intelligent Cloud has formed a unique competitive advantage of "cloud-intelligence integration", taking the lead in the industry to create an AI native cloud computing architecture, and the cloud that is born to run AI helps enterprises quickly "go to the cloud" and achieve intelligence, while exporting Baidu's brain's leading technology to all walks of life, so that enterprises can easily and efficiently access AI capabilities.

Shengzhe Technology is a national high-tech enterprise and unicorn enterprise in the field of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. As a city-level data service provider, Shengzhe Technology has an end-to-end and integrated data service platform, and is committed to completely bridging the digital divide through top-level technology. Shengzhe provides global digital service solutions for various urban infrastructure and core elements, and achieves the best synergy between digital governance and people's livelihood experience.

Baidu Kunlun chip built by Baidu over a decade is China's first self-developed cloud full-function AI chip, which uses Baidu's self-developed XPU neural processor architecture, providing 512GB/s memory bandwidth, and can provide up to 260 TOPS capacity at 150W power consumption, which is the industry's highest design AI chip. Baidu Kunlun chips can provide powerful AI computing power support for intelligent upgrades in all walks of life, meeting the business needs of enterprises in different scenarios. At the same time, domestic self-developed chips can also meet the needs of governments and enterprises for independent and controllable core technologies.

The "Baidu Intelligent Cloud-Kunlun Core Intelligent Ecological Center" jointly built by Yichang Dian Military Region and Baidu Intelligent Cloud is also the most powerful artificial intelligence, video networking and Internet of Things computing power system in Yichang area, including artificial intelligence computing power center built by Baidu Kunlun chip, city-level video middle platform, data middle office system, core Internet of Things communication system, large-scale map analysis system, and more than 270 different artificial intelligence algorithm models.

This cooperation is also the latest achievement of Yichang Dian Military Region to build a new AI infrastructure. "Core infrastructure" can bring new development opportunities to the local economy. For example, the Dian Military Region has successfully realized the industrial landing driven by the "internal circulation" and "external circulation" in the Yichang area. While serving the business in the region, the artificial intelligence computing power center of the Dian Military Region also exports the computing power to the surrounding areas in the external circulation, forming a new business and ecological cycle model and creating a unique new model of sustainable development.

Baidu and Shengzhe Technology will also give full play to their respective advantages to help Yichang build an industrial ecology such as artificial intelligence and chips by gradually introducing relevant ecological resources, and form a clustering effect of artificial intelligence, chips and other related industries.

In the future, Baidu will continue to lay out in Yichang, and implement the leading Baidu Kunlun chip, artificial intelligence technology, and cloud-intelligence integrated industry solutions to Yichang and Hubei Province, and gradually radiate to central China, helping the high-quality and healthy development of the regional economy.
