Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology: In Shanghai, good models are not short of computing power, good applications are not short of data, and good products are not short of chips.

On February 7th, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government held a themed press conference. When asked about the development of the artificial intelligence industry ecosystem in Shanghai, Tang Wenkang, Director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, stated that Shanghai has four major advantages in developing the AI industry: industry cluster synergy, a super-large urban market scenario, talent supply, and a complete industry-finance system. Moving forward, efforts will focus on three areas: further strengthening the industrial chain, increasing innovation element supply, and creating an open and vibrant environment. “In Shanghai, good models are not lacking in computing power, good applications are not lacking in data, and good products are not lacking in chips,” said Tang Wenkang. Shanghai possesses nearly 10% of the country’s computing power, operates the nation’s first public corpus service platform, has launched 138 registered large models, and achieved breakthroughs in multiple intelligent computing chips. In recent years, Shanghai has issued 1 billion yuan annually in computing power vouchers, data vouchers, and model vouchers, continuously implementing a series of initiatives such as “Model Speed Shanghai,” “Model Power Gathering in Shanghai,” “Model Speed Intelligent Travel,” and the AI4S “Hundred Teams and Hundred Projects.” Especially in the field of embodied intelligence, nearly 40 humanoid robots have moved from laboratories into daily life, empowering the real economy.
