China has made significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence, and its independent innovation capabilities have continued to improve. Recently, Zidong Taichu 3.0, the world's first multi-modal model with 100 billion parameters, was officially released in Wuhan, marking a new milestone in China's AI technology. This model was jointly created by the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huawei, and Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone. Its breakthrough progress and applications in thousands of industries demonstrate the vigorous development of China's AI ecosystem.
On the track of artificial intelligence, China is steadily moving forward with independent innovation. On November 26, Zidong Taichu 3.0, the world's first multi-modal large-scale model with 100 billion parameters, was officially unveiled in Wuhan, adding another highlight to domestic AI technology.
This is not only a technology iteration, but also an important milestone for China’s AI ecosystem. Zidong Taichu, jointly created by the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huawei, and Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone, has successfully built the world's first pre-training model covering three modes: images, text, and audio.

The biggest breakthrough of Zidong Taichu 3.0 is the realization of multi-modal unified native coding, which means that the model can cross the boundaries of different information forms like the human brain. Dean Wang Jinqiao revealed that this model can already compete with GPT-4o in terms of language ability and visual language ability, and is even slightly better in OCR and simple task planning capabilities.
What is even more exciting is that Zidong Taichu is accelerating its empowerment of thousands of industries. From architectural design to smart welding, from motorcycle design to smart urban transportation, this large model is giving traditional industries the wings of technology. Zhongnan Architectural Design Institute even plans to develop an exclusive large-scale architectural design model Da A Tianji based on Zidong Taichu, transforming 70 years of accumulated architectural data into an AI knowledge base.
Data from Hubei Province highlight the scale of this technological change: in 2023, the scale of the core artificial intelligence industry has exceeded 70 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of more than 38%. 33 universities have established AI research institutions and offer 70 related majors, building a comprehensive AI talent ecosystem.
In terms of computing power infrastructure, Zidong Taichu is also actively deploying. Taichu Intelligent Computing Platform has reached cooperation with intelligent computing centers in 15 cities. Zhengtong Electronics plans to invest 1.5 billion yuan to build a ninth data center in Wuhan to provide computing power services to customers in different industries.
This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an ecological construction. From scientific research institutes to leading companies, from basic research to vertical applications, China is drawing its own AI blueprint. Zidong Taichu 3.0 may be the brightest coordinate on this blueprint.
The successful release of Zidong Taichu 3.0 demonstrates China’s strong strength and innovation potential in the field of artificial intelligence. The editor of Downcodes believes that China’s AI technology will continue to develop in the future and contribute more to global technological progress.
