Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

Beijing as the capital, the most attractive place is the accumulation of its profound historical and humanistic temperament, and the continuous burst of industrial vitality. This capital, located in northern China, has not only hutongs, white pagodas and pigeon whistles, but also highly concentrated universities and scientific research institutions across the country, bursting with new scientific and technological vitality.

The combination of the two forms a unique temperament that is old and new, conservative and open. Today, when AI brings the opportunity of industrial upgrading in the whole society, the unique Beijing has been filled with a different color: today, Beijing is the place with the largest number of AI companies in China, the place with the largest amount of investment in AI technology and applications, the place with the highest concentration of AI talents, and also the place with the highest demand for industrial AI in the country-in other words, Beijing is a city that welcomes AI.

Such a city outlines the brightest color of China's AI city map, and the experience and success or failure of Beijing's industrial intelligence upgrading is also directly related to the future direction of China's AI industry.

We know that Beijing welcomes AI, but what kind of AI does Beijing need and look forward to? Last Friday, Huawei Beijing City Summit 2019, with the theme of "choose extraordinary platform response", was held in Beijing. The brain sports reporter attended the agenda of the meeting all the time.

From the harvest of this day, we may try to answer three questions: what does Beijing need in the face of the industrial era of AI? What can Huawei Cloud offer? What have we gained today?

The next second, get to know Beijing again

Every Chinese knows Beijing, but perhaps no one can say that they fully understand Beijing.

The city's heavy history, numerous industries, huge population base, and countless stories and silences make up a long scroll that is difficult to describe with human hands.

However, in front of AI, what Beijing needs may not be an unanswerable question.

At the summit, Lu Yong, president of Huawei's China Regional Department, first introduced Huawei's overall strength in building a digital eco-city. He mentioned that Huawei has established cooperative relations with many government and large enterprise customers in Beijing, including signing strategic cooperation with Beijing Public Security Bureau, IPO Group, Capital normal University, BAIC New Energy, Bank of Beijing, Park Administration and many other customers to jointly respond to the intelligent development needs of digital Beijing.

As a promoter of Pratt & Whitney AI, which is deeply driving the intelligent upgrade of Beijing, Huawei is digging into the intelligent upgrade of the city of Beijing to better import AI technology from the cloud.

As far as the city of Beijing is concerned, it is not difficult for us to find the particularities that many other cities do not have. These particularities put forward the following requirements for Beijing's AI industry:

First, Beijing has more government and large enterprises, which require AI technology and infrastructure providers to have large-scale industrial service capacity, solid technical basic skills and absolute security.

Second, the digital level of the city of Beijing is the leading in the country, on this basis, it undertakes the new task of exploring the proposition of intelligent industry upgrading.

Third, Beijing has a huge urban structure, complex and diverse intelligent needs, thousands of industries have a generally good acceptance of AI, and very complex specific needs.

The urban industrial structure with such characteristics makes Beijing very special in the era of AI. Clear AI requirements and AI progress are taking place in every corner of the city. Hong Fangming, president of Huawei Cloud China, believes that driven by technologies such as AI, the degree of cloud access of enterprises determines the process of digital transformation of the industry, and the government and large enterprises are gradually putting key business and core business on the cloud, and building new applications on the cloud, the key requirements are mainly focused on industry applications, full-stack AI capabilities and security and reliability.

These three key needs are just highlighted in the city of Beijing.

Obviously, Huawei Cloud thinks it is ready to provide an "extraordinary AI" in line with Beijing's temperament.

Hua Weiyun, Beijing flavor, extraordinary AI

Beijing is ordinary, it is an archway of hutongs and ordinary lanes, but Beijing is bound to be extraordinary, it is the focus of history and the starting point of the Republic. And the AI that the city is looking forward to is exactly the same. To be able to do something extraordinary, to be able to enter the ordinary mind.

As for what kind of AI capabilities and industrial advantages Huawei Cloud has brought to Beijing, Hu Weiqi, vice president of Huawei Cloud China, analyzed the real situation of Huawei Cloud AI capabilities empowering partners from the perspective of specific cases. From a wide range of industries, we may be able to see the industrial culture of Huawei Cloud and Beijing resonate at the AI level.

According to Hu Weiqi, Huawei Yun's AI capabilities have been deeply integrated with urban government affairs, urban management, environmental protection, water conservancy, industrial manufacturing and other fields, which can not only predict haze, regulate urban rivers, but also promote high-quality industrial development. For example, Huawei Cloud AI through a lot of time and data repeated deduction training to improve the production efficiency of the coal coking industry; help auto industry autopilot to improve data processing efficiency and reduce training costs.

Wang Pengyi, vice president of Guanglianda, a digital construction platform service provider, also mentioned that Huawei Cloud's lower threshold for AI applications makes it more convenient for enterprises serving in detailed scenarios to apply AI technology, and enterprises just need to explore the application scenarios and reflect the data to the platform. With this convenient way, Guanglianda can achieve 90% data structure through intelligent analysis of video in building scenes, promote safer and more elaborate construction, and implement process and material requirements on components.

In a large number of cooperation cases, we can see Huawei Cloud's AI capability, showing the particularity of the triple market. And these particularities happen to be coupled with the cultural genes of Beijing.

1. The whole scene under the government and large enterprises reveals the strength of the capital.

AI in today, especially in front of the government and large enterprises, the most important thing is technical reliability and low-level technology to get through. Otherwise, AI can only be a castle in the air and cannot be really applied. Huawei Cloud, which has mastered from the underlying chip development framework to development tools and multi-scene AI solutions, naturally sits on the strength of the capital palace. Reliable technology, low-level interworking, full stack architecture and full scene integration have formed Huawei Cloud's unique competitiveness in the AI market.

2. The openness and tolerance to users embodies the industrial wisdom of Beijing.

In the past, when we talked about the role models of businessmen, everyone would think of the shopkeepers of Dashilan and Liulichang. They advocate harmony and wealth, benevolence and righteousness are more important than business, are not inferior to the weak, and always think of each other. In fact, this kind of service ability and industrial wisdom is exactly what is needed in today's AI market. AI capacity providers need to adapt to the development needs of different industries, to meet the industrial needs of large governments and enterprises, to adapt to future technology upgrading and engineering deployment, and to be the technical cornerstone of many industrial AI channels. Huawei Cloud, which advocates customer-centric, brings Huawei's business wisdom to the AI industry ecology. From many interviews at the scene, it is not difficult to see that the uniqueness of Huawei Cloud at this level has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the cooperation between Guanglianda and Huawei, we can find that Huawei Cloud has clearly mapped out the industrial division of labor area of AI, creating the most easy-to-use platform for partners to enhance the openness of AI industrial ecology.

3. Work with developers to build ecology and moisten the warmth of sentient beings in old Beijing

Beijing is a city full of human flavor, autumn comes and spring goes, what really makes people remember this city is those ordinary people with strong human feelings. Today's AI happens to be a proposition that needs to be solved with human feelings. Today's AI must rely on the wisdom of developers and the prosperity of development ecology to support future technology, talent and business needs. Today, the immature development community needs more AI manufacturers to put themselves in their shoes. Another feature of Huawei Cloud as AI is that it attaches importance to the developer community and insists on removing the development threshold. From the tool empowerment brought by ModelArts to the establishment of ecology, the establishment of AI market, the establishment of Huawei cloud evangelist. There is almost everything that can be thought of for the sake of developers. This kind of AI is the real inclusive.

Huawei Yun and EI, which are very compatible with the city of Beijing, are also really opening branches and leaves in this city today.

The AI Story of four Nine cities

After exploring what kind of AI Huawei Cloud has, we are particularly curious about whether such AI is recognized by users and developers.

At the "DevRun Choice" Huawei Cloud Technology Salon 2019, developers shared their explorations and stories about Huawei Cloud AI technology. From these experienced people, we can carefully explore the value of Huawei's cloud AI technology capabilities.

One-stop AI development platforms like ModelArts are adding fuel to the trend of Pratt & Whitney AI development.

The open source data sets provided by Huawei Cloud ModelArts, the ability to automatically label data in some scenarios, automatic learning and automatic model training are all designed to reduce the workload of developers, especially for small teams with poor talent reserves. In addition to the simplification of workload, ModelArts's support for one-click deployment of models and the ability to adapt to end-to-side clouds mean that many development platforms are easier to adapt to real application scenarios. For a city like Beijing with a fast pace of business, the high efficiency and high adaptability brought by ModelArts to the AI industry is commendable.

Lin Luqiang, developer ecological development manager of Huawei Cloud EI, takes the architectural scene as an example. With the efficient development of ModelArts, AI technology can be applied to some very subtle and even "tricky" scenarios. For example, cameras are used to calculate how many bars there are in a bundle of steel bars, and visual monitoring is used to monitor whether workers are wearing helmets. This kind of detail, which used to be difficult to deal with by manpower, but few AI enterprises are directly involved in, can now get the help of AI through convenient development.

From a hardware point of view, Huawei Cloud HiLens Wit Deep Learning reasoning camera is also bringing changes to the AI development market.

As a camera suite combined with ModelArts, HiLens not only has end-side computing capabilities, but also serves as an one-stop AI application development, distribution and deployment management platform, providing developers with massive camera management, dynamic application deployment, online training, end-to-side model optimization and other end-to-side cloud collaboration capabilities. In other words, developers can weave the camera kit into a network for unified training and deployment in a wider range of scenarios such as industrial parks, scenic spots, and so on. For the government and large-scale enterprise scenarios that often appear in Beijing, this large-scale combination of software and hardware programming mode can make the deployment of AI technology more comfortable and secure.

In addition, developers also shared their views on more cutting-edge technologies such as edge intelligent edge cloud collaboration solutions, computing programming experience and quantum machine learning. It is precisely because of the constant attention to cutting-edge technology by companies such as Huawei Cloud that a city like Beijing, which is at the top of science and technology, will increasingly burst into a new brilliance.

Two Beijing companies working with Huawei Cloud were interviewed at the scene, one of which is Chinese translator Yutong, a language and data company with a history of more than 40 years, with a wide layout in many to B fields, including language class big data, machine translation, NLP and so on.

Zhang Xiaodan, vice president of Chinese translation communication, mentioned that his smart conference room project is actively docking with Huawei Cloud, hoping to closely integrate with Huawei Cloud's technology, platform and ecology. Huawei Cloud also happens to have a suitable videoconferencing system, and Huawei Cloud's extensive business coverage allows companies like Zyutong to find more footholds and cooperate to produce more AI products. At present, in terms of language big data, the two sides are expanding cooperation in the fields of finance and public safety.

Cloud Wisdom provides intelligent operation and maintenance products based on SaaS for many industries. At first, Cloud Wisdom, which is mainly aimed at Internet companies, began to expand its business into traditional industries in 2015. Such a company can also be regarded as a large-scale AI developer.

After research and understanding, Yu Tao, vice president of cloud wisdom strategy, said that Huawei Cloud is indeed very solid in the underlying technology, and its ability from chips and hardware to the underlying IaaS is convincing. In particular, Huawei Cloud can cover AI capabilities at all three ends of the cloud, which fits well with Cloud Wisdom's intelligent camera + cloud brain architecture, which can provide technological coverage of industry-wide processes for Wisdom.

AI stories take place in real life and are not so science fiction. It's about real available, reliable technology, tenderness in cooperation and consideration for others.

Just like Beijing has the Imperial Palace Great Wall Bird's Nest, Tomatoes on sticks and bean juice, while HuaWeiYun's AI has a well-structured full-stack structure and an industrial service spirit that comes from consideration, consideration and patience.

These two sides constitute the past and present of Beijing, the AI strategy of Huawei Cloud, and the future-a seemingly ordinary but truly extraordinary future that comes from technology, but not just technology.
