On November 5, the 2024 Artificial Intelligence Large Model Industry Innovation and Development Conference was held in Shijingshan District. Since 2024, the district's cluster for the artificial intelligence (AI) large model industry has attracted over 60 enterprises, with the initial occupancy rate reaching 90 percent. In the first three quarters this year, the district's AI industry generated a revenue of CNY 79.27 billion, showing a certain degree of agglomerative effects.
Baidu Intelligent Cloud Qianfan Large Model Industry (Beijing) Innovation Base was launched as a service platform at the conference. As Beijing's first "gigafactory" for producing large models, the Base can provide developers of large models and AI-native applications with a full-chain tool platform offering data management, model fine-tuning, model evaluation and reasoning service deployment, along with one-stop technical services to assist enterprise incubation, technical support, and industrial AI empowerment, accelerating digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises.
According to Shen Dou, Executive Vice President of Baidu, Inc. and President of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Unit, the Base co-created by Baidu and Shijingshan District will bring into full play the advantages of government-enterprise cooperation in promoting resource sharing and strength complementation. At present, the Base is home to over 10 enterprises capable of industrial large model training and vertical application and development. These resident enterprises have completed a total of more than 120 sessions of model training, and the number of tokens (basic units of data or text) consumed by model training and reasoning has exceeded 600 million. They have begun to further improve scenario-based applications in marketing, customer services, emergency responses, and other fields.
At the conference, Fuyao Innovation Center of Zhongguancun Shuzhi Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance (Beijing) was also inaugurated. It is committed to building an open and inclusive ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship, providing a growth channel for startups, and assisting them in realizing the great leap "from zero to one". Meanwhile, the "Zhipu Z Fund" was also launched, aiming to connect and invest in a large number of outstanding entrepreneurs in the AI large model sector, and serving upstream and downstream industrial players in technology R&D and application innovation. Moreover, Chaozhisuan (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd., Moore Threads Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and Beijing SenseTime Technology Development Co., Ltd. have signed agreements as computing power partners and will settle in the cluster for the AI large model industry.
