July 26 news, recently, the 17thIntelNetwork andedgeThe computing industry conference was held in Tianjin. The conference focused on edgeAIThe event showcased the development trends of the technology and demonstrated a number of innovative applications based on Intel solutions, especially in the fields of education and smart manufacturing.


Sachin Katti, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Network and Edge Group, Dan Rodriguez, Intel vice president and general manager of the Network and Edge Solutions Group, and Dr. Wei Chen, Intel vice president and general manager of the Network and Edge Group in China, shared Intel's vision of "making AI ubiquitous" and the latest technical insights, emphasizing that the deep integration of AI and edge computing will reshape the future of the industry, and demonstrated Intel's comprehensive layout in chip, software and ecosystem construction.


The conference pointed out that the wave of AI is sweeping the world with unstoppable force, and the integration of intelligent edge and AI has opened up unprecedented opportunities for enterprises. IDC data shows that China's generative AI investment growth is accelerating, with a compound annual growth rate of 86.2%² from 2022 to 2027. Generative AI is becoming a key technology driving the development of intelligence.

It is understood that Intel has launched a modular platform designed for edge and network AI based on its deep insights into the industry and its broad chip foundation.processor, Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, Intel® Edge™ GPUs designed for the edge, and Intel® Xeon® processors, combined with efficient software solutions, Intel provides customized vertical solution suites for manufacturing, education, transportation, finance, healthcare and other fields, helping customers accelerate the design and development of AI at the edge and in the network, and rapidly expand its application scope.

At the same time, Intel is also actively building an ecosystem. So far, Intel's Network and Edge Division has established partnerships with more than 500 OEM/ODMs and more than 150 ISVs in China, benefiting more than 2 million developers.

The conference revealed that Intel will work with many local Chinese partners to support the implementation of the Large Language Model (LLM) in different industries.

In the field of education, Intel and Seewo have collaborated to improve teaching efficiency and quality through AI-enabled smart tablets and teacher terminals. In terms of industrial digitalization, Kedong Software relies on Intel processors to achieve efficient application of large language models in industrial scenarios and reduce operation delays. In the field of networks, Sangfor uses Intel® Xeon® processors and high-speed Ethernet connection technology to achieve efficient deployment of SecurityGPT, a large vertical security model. In addition, Intel also provides full support for smart retail and other fields to help companies quickly deploy AI solutions.

In the interview after the meeting, Chen Wei pointed out that application scenarios should be the leading direction in the entire process of promoting intelligent edge and AI. Facing the arrival of AI+, we must first integrate AI technology into existing intelligent solutions based on existing intelligent solutions; second, we must actively embrace the current explosive growth of large models and generative AI technologies; third, we must support the entire ecosystem. That is, we should focus on application scenarios and supplement them with technology to welcome the new era of AI together.


It is reported that Intel is introducing an end-to-end, scalable system-level strategy to help companies advance AI innovation at full speed through an open ecosystem for future AI transformation.

Intel's open system integrates multi-vendor chips, hardware platforms, software foundations and AI tools, empowering AI ecosystem members from device manufacturers to software service providers, and providing flexible, high-performance customized generative AI solutions to meet the needs of various industries. Its full-stack software framework includes AI acceleration, training, retrieval enhancement and deployment tools, and works with partners and open source projects to simplify the development process and achieve full-domain AI deployment from devices to data centers.

In an interview after the meeting, Dan Rodriguez said that a widely open system contains two key elements: first, it provides customers with choices, and such a system can match users with the right partners at the right time; second, an open system encourages everyone to participate and contribute, and jointly create a virtuous circle of innovation.

With the widespread application of AI and edge technology, Intel will continue to promote software and hardware platform and product innovation, expand emerging fields such as edge AI, pave the way for enterprise intelligent transformation, and jointly welcome the new era driven by AI.
