On May 25th, Baidu Smart Cloud and the Shenyang Municipal Government co-hosted the "2023 Baidu-Shenyang Intelligent Computing Center Ecological Cooperation Conference". Li Sheng, secretary of the Huanggu District Committee of Shenyang City, Bai Lei, member of the Standing Committee of the Huanggu District Committee of Shenyang City and executive deputy district chief, He You, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and vice chairman of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, and Xie Guangjun, vice president of Baidu, attended the conference.
At the meeting, Baidu Smart Cloud and the People's Government of Huanggu District, Shenyang City jointly announced the strategic cooperation between Baidu Smart Cloud and Huanggu District to jointly build a digital economy industrial base. In the future, the two parties will focus on the "one park and four centers" construction plan of Baidu Shenyang Metaverse Smart Computing Industrial Park, Smart Computing Center, Metaverse Innovation Center, Empowerment Center and Talent Center. A new type of artificial intelligence computing power infrastructure integrated with the large model technology platform .
Li Sheng, secretary of the Shenyang Huanggu District Party Committee, said that Baidu, as the world's leading artificial intelligence company and a leading enterprise in the domestic digital economy and intelligent computing power field, has actively participated in the overall revitalization of the old industrial base in recent years, playing an important leading and supporting role in many fields such as industrial transformation and technological innovation. It is hoped that taking this conference as an opportunity, the two parties can jointly focus on the digital economy and the construction of computing power centers to further enhance the level of cooperation. With Baidu's own influence, driving force and industrial chain advantages, it will drive more upstream and downstream enterprises to gather and build a digital economy industrial cluster with strong competitiveness.
Xie Guangjun, vice president of Baidu, said that Baidu Smart Cloud will give full play to the advantages of cloud-intelligence integration technology, join hands with Shenyang, empower industries, and make efforts to deeply cultivate various cooperation scenarios such as smart computing + AI large-scale models, industrial simulation, biopharmaceuticals, and metaverse.
In the future, the Shenyang Intelligent Computing Center will not only include physical data center construction capabilities and intelligent computing infrastructure capabilities, but also comprehensive solutions for AI software and hardware ecological capabilities represented by large models, which can support computing tasks in different business scenarios of enterprises in the era of intelligent computing and industrial application requirements for large models . It will continue to give full play to the four core advantages of Baidu Intelligent Computing Center - powerful computing power, green and low-carbon, independent controllable and multi-scenario applications, bringing more tangible benefits to customers :
>> Make full use of local energy and climate conditions to achieve efficient and energy-saving operation of the center and greatly reduce daily operation and maintenance costs for customers;
>>Adopt three computing architectures of CPU+GPU+XPU to meet computing tasks in different scenarios and needs, thereby helping customers improve business efficiency and innovation capabilities;
>>Adopt multiple security measures including physical protection, network isolation, and data encryption to vigorously protect the security of customer data and business;
>>Provide customers with professional technical support and consulting services throughout the process, respond quickly to customer requirements, and provide diversified and professional AI products and technical solutions in a timely manner.
Like Baidu Yangquan Intelligent Computing Center, the largest single intelligent computing center in Asia, Shenyang Intelligent Computing Center will also be equipped with the first full-stack self-developed AI infrastructure in China, "Baidu AI Base", to provide industries in Shenyang with cost-effective intelligent computing power, self-developed deep learning framework, and a complete and rich large-scale model system. Baidu AI Big Base is composed of Baige heterogeneous computing platform and AI middle platform. It integrates Baidu's various AI technologies. It is an end-to-end, all-factor AI complete solution and the core key capability to support Baidu Smart Cloud's "integration of cloud and intelligence".
At the meeting, as an important driving force to detonate a new round of AI reengineering trends, the generative language model represented by Baidu's "Wenxin Yiyan" and the world's first one-stop enterprise-level large-scale model platform "Wenxin Qianfan Large Model Platform" attracted much attention. Wenxin Qianfan large-scale model platform can provide enterprises with large-scale model services including Wenxin Yiyan, and also supports third-party large-scale models, providing various tool chains and a complete set of environments for developing AI applications, allowing enterprises and developers to use large-scale models in the simplest way and make good use of large-scale models.
The reason why Wenxin Qianfan is capable of controlling large-scale heterogeneous computing power and providing high-level and easy-to-use large model services is also because Baidu AI Big Base is suitable for a wider range of AI scenarios and scientific computing scenarios, including building a proprietary model to solve a specific problem. With the support of Baidu AI Big Base, the large model can be efficiently and stably trained and effectively converged, which can increase the kilocalorie parallel acceleration ratio to more than 90%, the resource utilization rate of the training scene is more than 70%, and the iteration efficiency of model development is increased by more than 100%. At the same time, it also supports Wanka-level large-scale model training and provides single-cluster EFLOPS-level computing power. This cluster supports the rapid launch of Wenxin Yiyan.
In the future, Baidu Smart Cloud will start from Huanggu District and actively serve the digital and intelligent transformation of the six major industrial ecosystems in Shenyang. By investing in advanced technologies and resources, and focusing on various cooperation scenarios, Baidu Smart Cloud will jointly create a new paradigm for digital Shenyang industrial ecology and digital city development.
