🚀 China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are turbocharging artificial intelligence development with a new embodied intelligence consortium, backed by the government. Announced this week, the alliance merges resources from central SOEs, private tech firms, universities, and research labs under the guidance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC).
Five Key Focus Areas
The consortium will prioritize:
- High-value AI applications
- Quality datasets
- Core tech breakthroughs
- Industry ecosystem collaboration
- Financial support for real-world AI projects
AI Investment Surge
This move follows a 3-year upward trend in AI funding by central SOEs. SASAC recently urged these firms to expand computing power investments and accelerate commercialization of AI prototypes. 💡
Huanxin Community Growth
The government's open-source AI platform, launched in July 2025, now boasts:
- 10x user growth since launch
- 2,200+ domestic computing cards
- 4,700+ AI models
- 1,200+ datasets
Tech giants like Huawei and robotics innovators Moore Threads and Unitree have recently joined the platform, signaling stronger public-private synergy. 🤝
