中国算力，如何像水和电一样自然流动？

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the challenges and opportunities in China's computing power market, particularly focusing on the emergence of "intelligent computing centers" and the role of the company Wuwen Xinqun in addressing these challenges through innovative solutions [1][10]. Group 1: Current State of Computing Power - As of September 2024, China's computing power scale reached 246 EFLOPS, with intelligent computing power growing over 65% year-on-year, and over 13,000 computing power application projects across various industries [1]. - Despite the growth in computing power, the average cabinet utilization rate in intelligent computing centers is only 20% to 30%, with some enterprise-level centers as low as 10% [1][2]. - The overall utilization rate of computing power in the country is only 32%, indicating a significant gap between supply and demand [2]. Group 2: Challenges in the Computing Power Market - There is a shortage of quality computing power supply, making it difficult for many enterprises to find suitable resources [2][3]. - High usage thresholds prevent startups from effectively utilizing available computing power, leading to a phenomenon of "computing power scarcity" among AI companies [3]. - The domestic chip ecosystem is fragmented, with various models and architectures that are incompatible, hindering efficient resource flow [3]. Group 3: Wuwen Xinqun's Approach - Founded in May 2023 by a team with strong ties to Tsinghua University, Wuwen Xinqun has quickly gained market attention, securing nearly 1 billion yuan in funding within two years [4][5]. - The company aims to be a "computing power operator" in the era of large models, addressing the challenges posed by the dominance of NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem and the fragmentation of domestic chip manufacturers [5]. - Wuwen Xinqun has developed a cloud computing network that integrates heterogeneous computing resources, allowing developers to focus on applications without worrying about underlying hardware differences [5][10]. Group 4: Product Offerings - Wuwen Xinqun has introduced three core products, referred to as "three boxes," to enhance computing power utilization across various scales [6][9]. - The "Wuqiong AI Cloud" serves as a large-scale computing network, integrating resources from 26 provinces and over 53 data centers, with a total computing power exceeding 25,000 P [7]. - The "Wujie Intelligent Computing Platform" targets large computing clusters, demonstrating significant performance in training large models [8]. - The "Wuyin Terminal Intelligence" solution is designed for limited computing terminals, enabling them to perform complex tasks without relying on cloud resources [9]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Wuwen Xinqun's efforts reflect a broader need for a cohesive ecosystem that allows computing power to flow effectively, addressing the current challenges of fragmentation and high costs [10][11]. - The company aims to enhance the actual utilization rate of computing resources and improve the cost-performance ratio, contributing to the growth of China's AI industry [10].
