During the Eco-partner Forum, Yu T ao, Vice President of iSoftStone, mentioned that as a leading enterprise in the AI field, Baidu possesses cutting-edge AI technology capabilities and highly marketable AI products. Combining iSoftStone's deep industry experience and service capabilities, the two parties have achieved cooperation results that exceed expectations. They have not only achieved commercial value goals but also significantly improved in terms of technological innovation, market expansion, and brand influence. Most importantly, they have provided customers with solutions that are superior, more efficient, and more intelligent, meeting or even exceeding customer expectations.

During this conference, iSoftStone showcased its newly upgraded "software and hardware synergy" development model and its full-stack digital service capabilities of "software services + hardware + system operation" after Tongfang Computer joined the company. At the iSoftStone booth, iSoftStone Computing (Tongfang Computer)'s AI computing platform "Super K620" and various flagship products from Mech Revolution were showcased simultaneously, attracting much attention from the audience. In addition, iSoftStone also demonstrated its training and inference integrated machine built on the iSoftStone Computing (Tongfang Computer)'s AI computing platform, which is widely used in AI algorithm development and AI inference service scenarioses. It has many advantages such as high energy efficiency, high computing power, high reliability, easy management, and easy scalability:

Super computing power: Leading performance, accelerating AI inference efficiency, with a single inference server capable of reaching 2.2 PFLOPS of AI computing power;

Ultra-high energy efficiency: Built-in high-performance AI chips, high-performance operator library, supporting multi-card high-speed interconnection, and distributed storage;

Smooth scalability: Storage, computing power, and servers can be expanded as needed;

Secure boot: Intranet deployment of the integrated machine ensures data security and reliability, building a trusted starting point.

iSoftStone continues to innovate under the AI wave and is accelerating the construction of a hard technology innovation ecosystem of "computing power, algorithms, and data", as well as professional AI service capabilities centered on AI consultation, AI model development, AI data governance and security, and AI computing center operation. It has successively launched products such as the Tianxuan Big Model MaaS platform, the AISE platform, and the Tianxuan AI Copilot. At the same time, it effectively integrates and applies world-leading AIGC services, such as ChatGPT service and Sora service, into multiple industry application scenarioses, providing customers with more efficient production tools and creating more value for industry digitization. In the future, iSoftStone will continue to deepen the commercialization of big models, build a "Moment" for big model industry applications, and work closely with Baidu and many partners to ride the wind and waves in the journey of AI commercialization.
