Original title: Embracing the opportunities of artificial intelligence, domestic operating systems usher in breakthroughs

At the just concluded 2024 China Operating System Industry Conference, the domestic desktop operating system Kylin released its first AIPC version. This domestic desktop operating system integrated with artificial intelligence fills the gap in the research and development of terminal reasoning capabilities of Chinese operating systems. Industry insiders are optimistic that artificial intelligence will become a new opportunity for domestic operating systems.

The operating system is regarded as the "soul of the computer". It connects the upper-level software ecology and the underlying hardware resources, provides a support environment for the operation of AI algorithms, models and applications, and plays an important role in IT localization. In the words of Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, this "is related to the development of the entire information technology ecology and industrial chain."

At present, the security and stability of domestic operating systems have made great strides, achieving a leap in the number of ecosystems to the "million-level" level, and forming a series of mature application scenarios including office, operation, and business. Data shows that in 2023, my country's platform software market will grow rapidly, reaching 81.66 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.4%. The growth rate of my country's operating system market has further accelerated, reaching 23.2%.

The industry believes that artificial intelligence technology, which has been booming in recent years, has become an important tool for a new round of development of domestic operating systems.

The AIPC operating system released this time is the first domestic desktop operating system designed for personal computers that integrates artificial intelligence technology. One of its highlights is that it can realize terminal-side reasoning capabilities, providing strong support for the integration of domestic operating systems and artificial intelligence technology.

Zhu Chen, deputy general manager of Kylin Software Co., Ltd., introduced that by building an efficient domestic operating system end-side intelligent engine, this system supports large-model reasoning in an offline state, which can reduce data transmission delays and bandwidth consumption, optimize user experience while protecting user privacy, and further unleash people's productivity and creativity.

At present, the application potential of AIPC operating system is being explored in many scenarios such as office, transportation, medical treatment, education, etc. For example, in the field of autonomous driving, it can process sensor data in real time to support the decision-making and control system of autonomous driving vehicles; in medical health, it can be applied to medical image analysis, gene analysis, drug development and other scenarios, providing efficient computing support and intelligent diagnosis services.

"From the perspective of the market and technology, artificial intelligence and operating systems will continue to empower each other," said Gao Dan, assistant to the president of CCID Consulting Co., Ltd.

In the view of Liao Xiangke, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, this kind of technology integration has increased the supply of high-quality science and technology. He said that domestic operating systems keep up with the development trend of artificial intelligence, create secure operating systems for new scenarios and new demands, and build China's independent information technology ecological service system, which has contributed to the basic support for transforming and upgrading traditional industries, cultivating and strengthening emerging industries, and laying out and building future industries.

Domestic operating systems are constantly evolving and improving their competitiveness. Experts remind us that there are still three major development directions worth paying attention to in the future.

First, under the general trend of artificial intelligence and generative AI, we must consolidate the technological foundation, especially in the kernel, algorithm, infrastructure, graphics and other aspects to strive for core technology breakthroughs; second, we must combine the specific user needs in different fields such as smart healthcare, smart cities, and smart manufacturing to promote the formulation of domestic operating system standards; third, promote open and in-depth cooperation between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and different manufacturers.

Ni Guangnan said that relevant reports show that Microsoft, IBM and Kylin Software are ranked in the top three of China's operating systems, and domestic operating systems have the ability to compete with international mainstream operating systems. "In the future, we expect domestic operating systems to enter the world's mainstream market."
