On the morning of September 2, 2021, a strategic cooperation signing ceremony was held between Suiyuan Technology and Shanghai International Automobile City (Group) Co., Ltd. In response to the national call to promote automotive digitalization and actively pursue innovation in this field, Suiyuan Technology and Automobile City Group will jointly promote the construction of an AI intelligent computing platform to serve the digital transformation of the automotive industry. The two parties will cooperate on projects and services including the establishment of an artificial intelligence computing platform and AI intelligent computing solutions. Li Feng, Deputy District Head of Jiading District; Chen Gang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai International Automobile City (Group) Co., Ltd.; Pan Xiaohong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager; Zhao Lidong, Founder and CEO of Suiyuan Technology; and Zhang Yalin, Founder and COO, attended the signing ceremony.
Li Feng, Deputy District Head of Jiading District, said: "Jiading and Suiyuan Technology have had a long-standing cooperation. Jiading has witnessed the rapid growth and development of Suiyuan Technology. Facing the development of the "new four modernizations" of automobiles in China, the intelligent and connected vehicle field has significant opportunities and breakthroughs in recent years. In the development opportunities of the "new four modernizations" of automobiles, Jiading is promoting in-depth adjustments to its industrial structure. With the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement between Automobile City and Suiyuan Technology, both parties will cooperate in areas such as urban infrastructure construction and intelligent transportation, AI algorithms, and public service management. Jiading has a complete and leading automotive industry ecosystem, focusing on optimizing the business environment and providing accurate and high-quality services to enterprises. We strive to be a good "shop assistant." We believe that the signing between Automobile City and Suiyuan Technology is only the beginning of our cooperation, and it will surely bear fruit in the future."
Zhao Lidong, founder and CEO of Suiyuan Technology, said that leading electric vehicle companies are currently building powerful computing brains for autonomous driving, which requires data centers with supercomputing power. At the same time, Automobile City has formed a complete industrial chain including automobile R&D, manufacturing, finance, trade, and automotive culture and tourism. Suiyuan Technology can conduct in-depth cooperation with Automobile City in promoting the electrification, networking, and intelligence of automobiles, as well as in AI computing acceleration platforms. Using the three elements of artificial intelligence—data, algorithms, and computing power—we will support the construction of operation centers, data centers, and security centers.

△Suiyuan Technology and Automobile City Group sign a strategic cooperation agreement
With the rapid development of new-generation information technology and artificial intelligence, the global automotive industry has entered a period of profound transformation. Intelligence and electrification have become new strategic high ground for the automotive industry, with autonomous driving being one of the important directions for the application of artificial intelligence. The combination of Suiyuan Technology's artificial intelligence training computing cluster and Automobile City's big data can exponentially improve the training and iteration of the "automotive brain" required for autonomous driving under various road conditions and scenarios, providing a powerful computing platform to support the implementation and iterative upgrades of autonomous driving. In addition, the two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation in multiple fields and scenarios on projects such as AI intelligent computing solutions, in response to the national call to promote automotive digitalization and support Automobile City's active pursuit of automotive digital innovation.
Suiyuan Technology focuses on domestically produced and independently innovative core technologies and solutions. It is the first company in China to release a second-generation artificial intelligence training product portfolio, creating a cloud-based AI training and inference acceleration platform for data centers. Currently, it has products including the first-generation artificial intelligence training products "Yunsui T10/T11," the first-generation artificial intelligence inference product "Yunsui i10," and the second-generation training product "Yunsui T20/T21," which was just released in July of this year. Suiyuan's cloud-based AI training and inference acceleration platform, through a software and hardware collaborative architecture design, can fully utilize product performance and features such as easy programming, flexible migration, and compatibility with mainstream frameworks. Its powerful computing power can handle the needs of AI applications across the entire chain, including training and inference.
Since its construction in 2001, Shanghai International Automobile City has become a comprehensive automotive industry base in China with full industrial chain functions, including R&D, manufacturing, trade, finance, education, cultural exhibitions, and tourism events. In recent years, Shanghai International Automobile City has deepened its "integration of industry and city" development strategy, making layouts in the direction of the "new four modernizations" of automobiles and striving to promote the construction of the core supporting area of a world-class automotive industry center. Relying on the platform advantages of the new energy vehicle and intelligent connected vehicle demonstration areas, and using Automobile Innovation Port, Automobile New Energy Port, and Tongji Technology Park as carriers, it constructs key industrial projects and creates a modern, new-type city with a strong innovation atmosphere and a livable and employable environment, pursuing the perfect integration of people, cars, and the city.
