SHANGHAI: As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly enters the large-scale commercialization stage, China Mobile is stepping up efforts to promote broad cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI).
Zhang Dong, deputy general manager of China Mobile, spoke at the Enterprise AI High Quality Development Forum hosted by China Mobile during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), which concluded in Shanghai on Monday, and called for industry joint efforts to promote AI development.
Zhang outlined three strategic priorities: building a secure and efficient AI infrastructure, embedding intelligence into the real economy, and fostering an open innovation ecosystem.
Zhang highlighted China Mobile’s progress in AI infrastructure, including the deployment of multiple computing clusters with more than 10,000 graphics processing units each, 12 regional AI computing centers, and 1,500 edge computing nodes, bringing the total scale of AI computing to more than 107 EFLOPS.
The company’s self-developed Jiutian 35B large-scale language model ranks second in the world in the lightweight model category on international benchmark lists.
China Mobile has also developed over 50 industry-specific large models and implemented over 5,000 “AI+” projects.
During the forum, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission announced the “Huanxin Community” 2.0, an open source AI platform led by China Mobile in cooperation with central state-owned enterprises and industry partners.
The upgraded platform features enhanced infrastructure capabilities, scenario-driven applications, innovation competitions, and talent development.
China Mobile also announced “Mobile Tiangong”, an industrial internet brand that provides a cloud-based intelligent service matrix for manufacturing enterprises.
Two of the company’s AI application scenarios, digital twins for water protection and AI-enabled automotive manufacturing, were selected as one of the “100 Strategic High Value Scenarios,” and the company’s transportation and biomedical datasets are included in the “100 High-Quality Industrial Data Sets.”
Themed “Intelligence-Driven Renewal, Comprehensive Transformation,” the WAIC 2026 Forum brought together government officials, industry leaders, and academics to explore the role of AI in fostering new quality production capabilities and upgrading industries. — China Daily/ANN
