The General Office of the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government issued several measures to support the high-quality development of the entire artificial intelligence industry chain. Among them, it is proposed to expand the issuance of "computing power coupons". The total amount of "computing power coupons" will be increased to 250 million yuan each year, and the new "computing power coupons" will support enterprises to purchase intelligent computing centers that conform to the planning layout of Hangzhou and intelligent computing power provided by partners included in the computing power matchmaking. "Computing power coupons" will provide subsidies to user enterprises at a rate not exceeding 30% of the computing power contract fee. Among them, the subsidy ratio for enterprises that rely on the registered generative multimodal basic large models for model services (MaaS), intelligent body development and other applications shall not exceed 30% of the computing power contract fee, the subsidy ratio for enterprises that use domestic computing power facilities for model training, reasoning and application shall not exceed 30% of the computing power contract fee, and the subsidy ratio for enterprises that use other computing power facilities shall not exceed 20% of the computing power contract fee. The annual application for "computing power coupons" by a single enterprise shall not exceed 8 million yuan, and enterprises with generative multimodal basic large models can be relaxed.

The document also proposes to build industry clusters in subdivided fields. Focusing on building the computing power base, model cornerstone and data support of the entire artificial intelligence industry chain, strengthening the linkage between chips and machines, the connection between the whole and the parts, and industrial collaboration, a number of industry clusters in subdivided fields such as high-performance chips, high-speed optical networks, high-performance liquid-cooled servers, artificial intelligence algorithms, and multimodal data sets will be cultivated.

Strengthen the introduction and cultivation of high-quality enterprises. Focusing on the fields of intelligent computing power, large models and application empowerment in the entire industrial chain, vigorously introduce and cultivate new forces that are in the key links of the industrial chain, have independent core technologies and are high-growth, and support qualified enterprises to apply for Hangzhou headquarters enterprises. Accelerate the cultivation of leading enterprises with industrial chain control capabilities and international competitiveness, and reward the first-time recognized manufacturing "single champion" enterprises, national specialized and new "little giant" enterprises, and provincial "hidden champion" enterprises in accordance with relevant policies.

Several measures to support high-quality development of the entire artificial intelligence industry chain

These measures are formulated to seize the new round of development opportunities in artificial intelligence, actively implement the "artificial intelligence +" action, promote the high-quality development of the entire industrial chain of Hangzhou's artificial intelligence industry, and build a national highland for the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
