At present, Chengdu artificial intelligence companies are emerging in multiple "AI+" tracks, which also reflects the rapid development of artificial intelligence in Chengdu. Data shows that in 2023, there will be 852 artificial intelligence companies in Chengdu, with an industry scale of 78.03 billion yuan.
So
Chengdu artificial intelligence companies continue to achieve
What is the driving force for technological breakthroughs and rapid development?
Let's look down together
Aiming at the scene
Chengdu AI companies welcome broad development space
Artificial intelligence is very “hot”, attracting many companies to flock to it. But how to achieve commercialization is a problem that companies in the field of artificial intelligence must face. How to solve the problem? Finding application scenarios and solving actual user problems is the key.
Chengdu Qianqian Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xingzhe AI") has launched diversified AIGC products targeting music, art, intelligence, security and other scenarios. Among them, the Xingzhe AI music education platform launched by it has been implemented in many schools including the primary school affiliated with Shishi Tianfu Middle School in Chengdu and the Huaxing Branch of Chengdu No. 7 Middle School Yucai School. "The platform has quickly achieved revenue since its launch last year." Chen Hongyu, COO of Walker AI, revealed.
Before successfully monetizing, Walker AI had also gone through "detours". "We have previously launched an AI music product for consumers. Users can use it to create their own music. It has accumulated more than 100,000 users. Users are very willing to experience it, but few are willing to pay for it."
In this regard, Chen Hongyu said: "When providing AI products or AI capabilities, we must consider the value generated by the product, whether it has commercial value, or can reduce costs and increase efficiency for the industry. Product innovation cannot be purely technical, but must be consistent with the scenario. Only by combining and solving practical problems can successful commercialization form a positive and positive cycle.”
After carefully analyzing the reasons, Walker AI quickly made adjustments. "Our advantage lies in the large models of vertical industries. Through large models, we can reduce costs and increase efficiency in the education field and solve practical problems of users." Chen Hongyu's views are also recognized by many people in the industry.
Chengdu Tasi Technology Co., Ltd. is a scientific and technological achievement transformation project of Tsinghua University and has been implemented in many places across the country. The company's CTO Nie Weiqi said: "For users, the most important thing is whether they can solve practical problems, and many cutting-edge technologies actually have little to do with them. Tasik Technology has always insisted on being oriented towards solving practical problems through implementation."
Fortunately, Chengdu artificial intelligence companies have made positive progress in commercialization by relying on technological innovation. For example, Haiyi AI, which focuses on image and video content generation, in addition to charging through personal subscriptions, has also begun to try to apply technology to the real economy, and has now entered a virtuous cycle...
Technological innovation is indispensable
Talang Artificial Intelligence is inseparable from "long-termism"
To gain a foothold on the "AI+" cutting-edge track, technological reserves and sensitivity to cutting-edge technologies are also the keys for companies to stand out.
As the main enterprise in Chengdu's artificial intelligence industry chain, Chengdu Xiaoduo Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaoduo Technology") has been deeply involved in the field of intelligent customer service for ten years. Along the way, Jiang Ling, founder of Xiaoduo Technology, said: "These ten years have been a struggle, step by step."
When the company was founded in 2014, many people still “didn’t understand” the direction of artificial intelligence customer service. Xiaoduo Technology has insisted on deploying in this field. "The early stage of industrial development is the best opportunity for layout. There are still relatively few competitors. If you can find a problem worth solving and have the technology, it will be easy to stand out." Jiang Ling said.
Xiaoduo Technology has also stepped on every step in the development wave of artificial intelligence in the continuous iteration of its own AI technology. The "Xiao Model" it launched has successfully passed the national generative artificial intelligence service registration. In this regard, Jiang Ling said that before the outbreak of ChatGPT, Xiaoduo Technology has been accumulating relevant technologies and data. "We have accumulated a large number of models trained with actual data in the long-term service of users. On this basis, we developed the 'Xiao Model'" , constantly increasing model parameters and providing technical support for further business improvement, which can solve increasingly complex problems in business scenarios. This is a gradual improvement for us and a natural process. "
"This round of artificial intelligence technology explosion represented by ChatGPT has set off an industry boom. But in fact, its technical route is not new. Behind this, we still need to combine scenarios and solve practical problems, and we need to understand user needs and cutting-edge technologies. We have keen insights, which come from the practice of innovation,” Jiang Ling said.
Shen Fumin, who has also been rooted in the field of artificial intelligence for many years, also has a deep understanding of this. Shen Fumin is the CEO of Chengdu Kaola Youran Technology Co., Ltd. Since the company was founded in 2015, more than 10 achievements in the core field of artificial intelligence have been transformed. Among them, the independently developed industry's first multi-modal artificial intelligence operating system OSMagi C Code Geek has been It has provided products and services to more than 500 users at home and abroad, covering high-end screen displays, rail transit, urban governance and other fields. Behind this, it is inseparable from the team’s long-term “technical reserves”.
"We are currently discussing cooperation with Shudao Group to promote the application of the newly developed road intelligent supervision system on Sichuan expressways. In the next step, we will focus on the layout of the 'AI+' industry and use large-scale model products to empower manufacturing companies to 'intelligent transformation' "Number of turns'." Shen Fumin said.
In Chengdu, there are still many "Xiaoduo people" and "Kaola Youran people" who insist on being long-termists and continue to carry out core technology research in the field of artificial intelligence, which has become a "key move" for Chengdu artificial intelligence companies to stand out in the industry.

Cheng Hong, director of the Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, established Buffalo Robot Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. to independently develop and launch "exoskeleton robots"...
Chengdu’s rich scientific and educational resources also provide good opportunities for artificial intelligence companies to carry out industry-university-research cooperation. Products such as "AI Digital Human" and "Digital Brain" of Chengdu Mingtu Technology Co., Ltd. have significant effects on improving work efficiency. Xiao Xuesong, the founder of the company, once mentioned: "As the entrepreneurship continues to deepen, we clearly feel that if we only rely on It is not enough for the company to do technological innovation. With the help of the scientific research power of universities, on the one hand, we can understand the latest trends in international and domestic technologies, and on the other hand, we can find new innovative application points for the results in the laboratory. "In recent years, Mingtu said. Science and Technology has jointly carried out in-depth technology research and development, achievement transformation and other work with universities and institutions such as the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
There are many similar innovation stories, all of which highlight the vitality of Chengdu, an “intelligent hotspot” for scientific and technological innovation. As the transformation of scientific and technological achievements continues to deepen, more cutting-edge achievements in laboratories are expected to move to the production line, releasing greater innovation momentum.
