South China’s Guangdong province will spare no effort to support artificial intelligence and robotics companies in achieving breakthroughs in technology industrialization, product marketing and service commercialization in the coming months, a senior official said.

The latest move aims to continuously provide high-quality and affordable products and services for local companies as well as households, accelerating the empowerment of thousands of industries with AI and deepening the application of “robot+” scenarios, said Qu Xiaojie, deputy director of the Guangdong Department of Industry and Information Technology.

“Meanwhile, Guangdong, a global innovation center, sincerely welcomes scientists, entrepreneurs and young talent from around the world in the fields of AI and robotics to invest and develop the AI and robotics industry in the province,” he said.

Qu said that his department would ensure coordination of resources, cultivation of enterprises, industrial agglomeration, ecological optimization and promotion of exchanges to support innovation and development by enterprises in the AI and robotics industry in the province, which is also a major production base in the world.

Qu made the remarks at a news conference in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, on Wednesday.

Qu said Guangdong has potential to develop the AI and robotics industry, as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area combines the advantages of electromechanical and digital intelligence technology, with a complete AI and robotics industry chain, complete support facilities, fast response, high quality, good service and excellent ecology.

The province, an economic powerhouse of the country, has become a mecca for global talent, technology and capital, he said.

Guangdong has excellent computing chips like the Huawei Ascend and self-developed general-purpose models like Tencent Cloud, according to Qu.

And the eight major models in the AI industry of Guangdong have been preliminarily applied in related fields and achieved significant results, he added.

Wang Jian, general manager of Tencent Cloud Guangdong province, said Tencent Cloud’s AI large model has been implemented in more than 30 industries, including government affairs, retail, finance and industry.

Tencent will continue to lower the technological threshold and focus on scenario implementation, using its “useful, easy-to-use, and reliable” AI capabilities to help Guangdong’s AI and robotics industry enter into an era of global, full-time and all-scenario intelligence, he said.

“And we have now launched Tencent Cloud Intelligent Computing Suite by integrating high-performance computing, storage, networking, acceleration suite, cloud native intelligent scheduling and orchestration capabilities, to help customers manage their economic accounts with computing power,” Wang said.

Hao Shengwei, marketing director of Huawei Ascend Computing Business, said Huawei Ascend has been focusing on key technologies and continues to innovate by combining computing, storage, networking and other capabilities.

“It has continuously improved its hardware and software capabilities, developed many fusion operators, and opened up many basic software and capabilities to partners for them to create their own applications and operators,” he said.

Hao said more than 80 partners have now built their large model application all-in-one machines based on Ascend’s computing power base, which have been applied in more than 200 enterprises.

“Many companies have built their own technology and computing power based on Ascend, and we will continue to make AI truly enter various industries,” he added.

Chinese robotics industry: Spotlight on AI as future game changer

Spotlight on AI as future game changer

China fostering own vision of development through reliable, efficient application of artificial intelligence tools across industry sectors

By CHENG YU | China Daily | Updated: 2025-04-14 09:13

Delegates and visitors to the Zhongguancun Forum, a key technology event held in Beijing recently, were in for a surprise when they arrived at the venue late last month.

As they stepped in, they were greeted not by ushers in uniform, but by a coordinated team of robots that mimicked human expressions, answered queries and translated conversations in real time.

In the shadow of a series of bullying (tariffs) imposed by the Trump administration earlier this month, China is doubling down on what may be its most potent counterstrike: AI. From breakthrough chips to frontier models rivaling the West’s best to humanoid robots, China’s AI breakthroughs could stand out to be a potential game changer, industry experts said.

Elsewhere at the venue, a robot with a friendly voice and precise movements guided guests to a coffee corner where a robotic barista brewed fresh beverages. And, once the coffee was ready, another humanoid robot delivered it directly to the guest.

While other robots played chess with visitors or displayed their brush calligraphy skills with serene focus, some robotic dogs darted easily through the crowd of visitors.

This was just one of several events held last month where artificial intelligence took center stage.

In March, China saw a series of major events, including the two sessions, or the annual gatherings of the country’s top legislature and political advisory body; the Zhongguancun Forum; and the China Development Forum in Beijing, as well as the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan province.

In fact, several AI-related panel discussions at the Boao and Zhongguancun forums saw packed houses, with attendees filling up every seat and some even standing to hear out the participants.

This overwhelming interest in AI mirrors the prominence of the nascent sector across the nation, displaying a vivid picture

Industry experts said China is fostering its own vision for the development of AI through the reliable and efficient application of AI tools across a wide range of industries, a path that differs wisely from that of the United States.

Turing Award winner Joseph Sifakis said at the Zhongguancun Forum that China is crafting its own AI vision, distinct from that of the US.

“China has a solid and extensive industrial base and a unified domestic market. This enables the country to develop more reliable AI solutions that better align with the needs of the real economy, especially in the long-awaited transition to autonomous driving,” he said.

Sifakis noted that China’s strong industrial foundation, in particular, gives it an edge while industries such as self-driving vehicles, smart cities, smart factories and intelligent farms present more opportunities. “If developed well, (all these) will give China a dominant position in industrial AI,” he said.

Kai-Fu Lee, a prominent AI expert and chairman and CEO of investment company Sinovation Ventures, said China has reached its “DeepSeek moment”. He predicted that 2025 would mark a breakout year for AI applications and large-scale model deployment in China.

Lee recalled that about nine months ago, he had expressed frustration over China’s lack of a “ChatGPT moment”, as promising Chinese AI models at the time failed to stand out and spark nationwide adoption.

“However, DeepSeek has changed that landscape. Its success has awakened the Chinese market, ushering in a new AI era for the country,” he said.

According to Lee, DeepSeek’s rise proves that “closed-source AI has no future”, and only open-source development will drive greater progress.

“As AI scaling laws shift from the pretraining stage to the inference stage, AI applications will accelerate exponentially this year,” he said.

Scaling laws describe how the performance of AI systems improves as the size of the training data, model parameters or computational resources increase.

Kuang Ziping, founding partner of Qiming Venture Partners, a toptier Chinese venture capital firm, echoed that sentiment.

While the first generation of AI saw fragmented innovation, the second generation — dubbed “AI 2.0” — will be built on infrastructure, scalability and real-world application, he said.

“There’s still a huge gap in foundational infrastructure investment,” Kuang said. “But the application layer is poised for explosive growth.”

From smart education and autonomous driving to embodied intelligence and hardware, he said the sectors that successfully integrate AI will define the future.

Zhu Xiaohu, managing partner at GSR Ventures, emphasized that generative AI must prioritize one principle above all — application is king.

Startups, he said, must embrace open-source ecosystems and rapidly iterate their products in vertical industries. The most effective businesses, he predicted, will not rely on AI alone, but on “AI plus human” hybrid models that combine intelligence with nuanced delivery capabilities.

As excitement around AI innovation builds in China, it also collides with geopolitical headwinds, especially after the nation, a major trading partner of the US, was hit with several rounds of so-called reciprocal tariffs since April, in addition to a 20 percent tariff imposed earlier this year.

Last month, the US also added dozens of additional Chinese entities, including the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence and tech firm Inspur Group, to its export restrictions list.

But, the world is big enough for hundreds of countries, including the US and China, to codevelop AI, and Washington’s sanctions on high-tech sectors will only steel Beijing’s resolve to drive homegrown innovations, said industry experts and company executives.

During a panel discussion at Boao Forum for Asia, Zeng Yi, a member of the United Nations’ high-level advisory body on AI and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Automation, said: “The future of AI is not decided by a handful of countries, but by nearly 200 countries and regions. The world is big enough to embrace both the US and China to codevelop AI.”

Zheng Yongnian, dean of the School of Public Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), criticized as “unwise “the inclusion of Chinese companies in restrictive measures aimed at hindering China’s AI progress.

“China possesses significant advantages in application scenarios, with the government actively promoting the AI Plus strategy to expedite technological implementation. US sanctions on technologies have, paradoxically, spurred China to intensify investments in these areas and foster indigenous innovation,” Zheng said.

“If China’s AI technologies continue to evolve at the current pace, the US might find itself relying on China’s original innovations in certain sectors within 10 to 15 years,” he added.

Carl Fey, a professor of strategy at BI Norwegian Business School, said that while US tech restrictions may cause short-term pain for China, they will ultimately compel the latter to fortify its technological base and sharpen its global competitiveness.

Fey warned that measures like tariffs and export bans not only slow global tech progress, but also backfire by accelerating domestic innovation.

A group of experts cited Deep-Seek as a case in point — a low-cost, open-source AI model that is transforming the industry landscape. DeepSeek’s accessible architecture enables rapid deployment, and widespread use may reshape the AI future globally, a vision where AI, like water or electricity, becomes a basic utility available to everyone.

Jiang Xiaojuan, a professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Deep-Seek is breaking monopolies and ushering in a new era of vigorous competition, converting technical know-how into industrial might.

“In a competitive market, these challenges will naturally be resolved by the forces of the market itself,” Jiang said.

Gao Xuefeng, founder and CEO of AI data infrastructure company Fabarta, said that after DeepSeek’s breakthrough, many Chinese companies no longer hesitate to invest in AI.

“Every few months, new technological advancements emerge. Companies can’t afford to wait; they must integrate AI into their business and industry now,” Gao said, adding that every sector in China can be re-imagined through AI in the coming years.

Amid rising AI enthusiasm, Wang Zhongyuan, head of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, a leading nonprofit AI institute, said that DeepSeek has indeed delivered impressive results, proving that China can train large-scale AI models parallel to ChatGPT 4 despite limited computing power.

Regarding artificial general intelligence, in which an AI system can match or exceed the cognitive abilities of humans in any real-world task, Wang said that the industry is still far from achieving such capabilities. “I think we are still at least five to 10 years, or even longer, from reaching that level,” he added.

Hardware equipment is an indispensable core equipment for any deep learning agent. Dear primary scribbling magicians, do you feel that the destined wand is missing?

Animated picture cover

However, how should we choose various CPUs, GPUs, memory sticks, peripherals, and so many brands, types and numbers?

In order to help you get a set of equipment that you can build, a young man named Tim Dettmers condensed his installation experience of assembling seven workstations in a year into a practical guide to share it, helping you determine a complete set of hardware selection, and also made recommendations based on this year’s new hardware.

Okay, let’s start with the GPU and see how each important component should be selected in turn. The full text is more than 5,000 words, and the estimated reading time is 11 minutes. Of course, at the end of the article, we have prepared a ” element list ” for everyone ~

GPU

Graphics cards (GPUs) are important components of deep learning, even more important than CPUs. It is obviously unwise to do deep learning without using GPU and just using CPU, so the author Tim first introduced the choice of GPU.

There are three major things to note when purchasing a GPU: cost-effectiveness, video memory, and heat dissipation.

Use the 16-bit RTX 2070 or RTX 2080 Ti to be more cost-effective. In addition, it is also a good choice to buy second-hand 32bit GTX 1070 , GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti on eBay .

In addition to the GPU core, video memory (GPU RAM) is also a part that cannot be ignored. RTX has more advantages in terms of graphics memory than GTX series graphics cards. With the same graphics memory, RTX can train models that are twice as large.

The usual requirements for video memory are as follows:

  • If you want to pursue the highest score in your research: video memory >=11 GB;
  • Search for interesting new architectures in the research: video memory >=8 GB;
  • Other studies: 8GB;
  • Kaggle competition: 4~8GB;
  • Startup: 8GB (depending on the model size of the specific application)
  • Company: Create a prototype of 8GB, training is no less than 11GB

It should be noted that if you purchase multiple RTX graphics cards, you must not ignore the heat dissipation. The two graphics cards stacked in adjacent PCI-e slots can easily overheat the GPU and reduce frequency, which may result in a 30% performance drop. This issue will be discussed in detail later.

Memory

There are two parameters for selecting memory (RAM) : clock frequency and capacity. Which of these two parameters is more important?

Clock frequency

Hype about memory clock frequency is a commonly used marketing method by manufacturers. They promote the faster the memory, the better. Is this really the case?

Linus Tech Tips, a well-known digital blogger, answered this question: manufacturers will lure you to buy “faster” RAM, but in fact there is little performance improvement.

The memory frequency has nothing to do with the speed of data transfer to video memory. The increase in frequency can only have a performance improvement of up to 3%. You should spend your money elsewhere!

Memory capacity

Memory size does not affect deep learning performance, but it may affect the efficiency of your execution of GPU code. With a larger memory capacity, the CPU can directly exchange data with the GPU without going through the disk.

Therefore, users should be equipped with memory capacity that matches the GPU video memory. If you have a Titan RTX with 24GB of video memory, you should have at least 24GB of memory. However, if there is more GPU, you don’t necessarily need more memory.

Tim believes that memory is related to whether you can concentrate resources and solve more difficult programming problems. If you have more memory, you can focus on more pressing issues without spending a lot of time solving memory bottlenecks.

He also found that extra memory is very useful for feature engineering while competing in Kaggle.

CPU

Too much attention to CPU performance and PCIe channel number is a common cognitive misunderstanding. What users need to pay more attention to is the number of GPUs that support running simultaneously with the CPU and motherboard combination.

CPU and PCIe

People’s obsession with PCIe channels is almost crazy! In fact, it has little impact on deep learning performance.

If there is only one GPU, the PCIe channel is only used to quickly transfer data from memory to video memory.

The 32 images (32x225x225x3) in ImageNet take 1.1 milliseconds to transmit on 16 channels, 2.3 milliseconds to 8 channels, and 4.5 milliseconds to 4 channels.

These are just theoretical numbers, and in fact, PCIe’s speed is only half that of the theory. PCIe channels usually have nanosecond-level delays, so the delay can be ignored.

Tim tested the transmission time required to train the ResNet-152 model using mini-batch with 32 ImageNet images:

  • Forward and Backward Transmission: 216 ms
  • 16 PCIe Channels CPU->GPU Transfer: About 2 milliseconds (theoretical 1.1 milliseconds)
  • 8 PCIe Channels CPU->GPU Transfer: Approximately 5 milliseconds (2.3 milliseconds)
  • 4 PCIe Channels CPU->GPU Transfer: Approximately 9 milliseconds (4.5 milliseconds)

Therefore, in total time, from 4 to 16 PCIe channels, the performance improvement is about 3.2%. However, if PyTorch’s data loader has fixed memory, the performance is improved to 0%. So, don’t waste money on PCIe channels if you use a single GPU.

When selecting CPU PCIe channel and motherboard PCIe channel, make sure that the combination you choose can support the number of GPUs you want. If you buy a motherboard that supports 2 GPUs and want to use 2 GPUs, you have to buy a CPU that supports 2 GPUs, but you don’t have to check the number of PCIe channels.

PCIe channel and multi-GPU parallel computing

If you train a network on multiple GPUs, is the PCIe channel important? Tim once published a paper in ICLR 2016, pointing out ): If you have 96 GPUs, then PCIe channel is very important.

However, if the number of GPUs is less than 4, you don’t have to care about the PCIe channel at all. Almost few people run more than 4 GPUs at the same time, so don’t waste money on PCIe channels. This doesn’t matter!

Number of CPU cores

In order to choose a CPU, you first need to understand the relationship between CPU and deep learning.

What role does CPU play in deep learning? When running a deep network on a GPU, the CPU does little calculations. The main functions of the CPU are: (1) Start GPU function calls (2) Execute CPU functions.

By far, the most useful application of CPU is data preprocessing. There are two different general data processing strategies with different CPU requirements.

The first strategy is to preprocess during training, and the second is to preprocess before training.

For the first strategy, high-performance multi-core CPUs can significantly improve efficiency. It is recommended that each GPU has at least 4 threads, i.e., to allocate two CPU cores to each GPU. Tim expects that every time one core is added to the GPU, an additional performance boost should be achieved in about 0-5%.

For the second strategy, no very good CPU is required. It is recommended that each GPU has at least 2 threads, i.e. allocate one CPU core to each GPU. With this strategy, more cores will not significantly improve performance.

CPU clock frequency

Is the CPU performance of 4GHz stronger than that of 3.5GHz? For comparisons of processors in the same architecture, it is usually correct. However, between processors in different architectures, frequency comparison cannot be simply compared. CPU clock frequency is not always the best way to measure performance.

In the case of deep learning, the CPU participates in very little calculations: such as adding some variables, evaluating some boolean expressions, and making some function calls within the GPU or program. All of this depends on the CPU core clock rate.

While this reasoning seems wise, the CPU still has 100% usage when running a deep learning program, so what is the problem here? Tim did some CPU downsizing experiments to find out the answer.

Effects of CPU downs on performance:

Note that these experiments were performed on some “old” CPUs (the third generation Core processors launched in 2012). But it should still be suitable for CPUs launched in recent years.

Hard disk/solid-state drive (SSD)

Usually, hard disks will not restrict the operation of deep learning tasks, but if you underestimate the function of hard disks, you may pursue, regret, and not to.

Imagine that if the data you read from the hard disk is only 100MB/s, then loading a mini-batch of 32 ImageNet images will take 185 milliseconds.

Conversely, if the data is obtained asynchronously before using it, the data for these mini-batches will be loaded in 185 milliseconds, while the computation time of most neural networks on ImageNet is about 200 milliseconds. So, load the next mini-batch when computing the state and there will be no loss in performance.

Brother Tim recommends solid-state drives (SSDs), which he believes are both comfortable and efficient when using SSDs. Compared with ordinary hard disks, SSD programs start and respond faster, and preprocessing of large files is much faster.

The top-end experience is NVMe SSD, which is smoother than ordinary SSDs.

Power supply unit (PSU)

The most basic expectation of a programmer for power supply is to meet the energy required by various GPUs. As GPUs develop towards lower energy consumption, a PSU with excellent quality can accompany you for a long time.

How should I choose? Brother Tim has a set of calculation methods: add the power of the computer CPU and GPU, and add 10% of the power to calculate the energy consumption of other components, and the power peak is obtained.

For example, if you have 4 GPUs, each with 250 watts of power and a CPU with 150 watts, you need the power supply to provide 4×250+150+100=1250 watts of power.

Tim usually adds an additional 10% on this basis to ensure that it is foolproof, which will require a total of 1375 watts. Therefore, in this case, the power supply performance needs to reach 1400 watts.

It should not be difficult to understand how to teach step by step. It is also important to note that even if a PSU reaches the required wattage, there may not be enough PCIe 8-pin or 6-pin connectors, so when buying, make sure there are enough connectors on the power supply to connect to the GPU.

Also, buy a power supply with a high energy efficiency level, especially when you need to connect to a lot of GPUs and may run for a long time, you know the reason.

Let me give you another example. If you run a 4 GPU system at full power (1000-1500 watts) and spend two weeks training a convolutional neural network, it will consume 300-500 kWh of electricity. Calculated at 0.2 euros per kilowatt-hour in Germany, the final electricity bill is equivalent to RMB 455-766.

If the power supply efficiency is reduced to 80%, the electricity bill will increase by 140-203 yuan.

The more GPUs you need, the more obvious the gap will be. Is the choice of PSU a little more complicated than I thought?

Cooling of CPU and GPU

For CPUs and GPUs, poor heat dissipation will reduce their performance.

For CPUs, standard radiators or AIO water-cooled radiators are good choices.

But it is a complicated matter which heat dissipation solution to the GPU.

Air-cooled heat dissipation

If there is only a single GPU, air cooling is safe and reliable, but if you have as many as 3-4 GPUs, air cooling may not meet the needs.

Current GPUs will increase the speed to maximum when running the algorithm, so the power consumption will also reach the maximum. Once the temperature exceeds 80℃, it is very likely to reduce the speed and cannot achieve optimal performance.

This phenomenon is more common for deep learning tasks. A general cooling fan is far from achieving the desired effect and reaches the temperature threshold after running for a few seconds. If you use multiple GPUs, the performance may be reduced by 10% to 25%.

what to do? At present, many Nvidia GPUs are designed for gaming, so they have specially optimized for Windows systems and can also easily set up fan solutions.

But this trick cannot be used in Linux systems. The trouble is that many deep learning libraries are also written for Linux.

This is a problem, but it is not unsolvable.

In Linux systems, you can configure Xorg servers and select the “coolbits” option, which still works well for a single GPU.

If you have multiple GPUs, you have to simulate a monitor. Brother Tim said he tried it for a long time, but there was still no improvement.

If you want to run in an air-cooled environment for 3-4 hours, you should pay attention to the fan design.

There are roughly two principles for cooling fans on the market: a blower fan pushes hot air from the back of the chassis to allow cool air to come in; a non-blowing fan sucks air in the GPU to achieve cooling effect.

So, if you have multiple GPUs adjacent to each other, there is no cold air available around you, so in this case, you must not use a non-blowing cooling fan .

Then what to use? Then look down—

Water cooling heat dissipation

Although water-cooling cooling is slightly more expensive than air-cooling, it is very suitable for situations where multiple GPUs are adjacent. It can hold the four most powerful GPUs to keep the whole body cool, which is an effect that air-cooling cannot achieve.

In addition, water cooling can be performed more quietly, and the advantages of water cooling are more prominent if you run multiple GPUs in a common area.

As for the cost issue that everyone is most concerned about, a water-cooled single GPU costs about US$100 (about RMB 690) and some additional upfront costs (about RMB 350).

In addition to financial preparation, you also need to invest some energy, such as spending extra time assembling a computer, etc. There are already many online tutorials on this kind of thing, and it only takes a few hours to complete, and the later maintenance is not complicated.

in conclusion

For a single GPU, air cooling is cheap and sufficient; for multiple GPUs, blown air cooling is cheaper, which may cause a performance loss of 10% to 15%. If you want to pursue the ultimate heat dissipation, water cooling will be quiet and have the best effect.

Therefore, air-cooling or water-cooling is reasonable, depending on your actual situation and budget. But the guy finally suggested that under normal circumstances, it is better to consider low-cost air cooling.

Motherboard

The motherboard should have enough PCIe slots to support the required number of GPUs. But it should be noted that most graphics cards need to occupy two PCIe slots in width.

If you plan to use multiple GPUs, you need to purchase a motherboard with enough space between the PCIe slots to ensure that the graphics cards do not block each other.

Chassis

When choosing a chassis, you must ensure that the chassis can install the full-length GPU on the top of the motherboard. Although most chassis are fine, if you buy it smaller, it depends on whether the merchant gives you seven days and no reason…

Therefore, it is best to confirm the size and specifications of the chassis before buying, or search for the picture of the chassis containing the GPU. If there are other people’s finished pictures, you can buy it with confidence.

In addition, if you want to use custom water cooling, make sure your chassis can be installed with a radiator, especially when using custom water cooling for the GPU, the radiator of each GPU needs to take up space.

monitor

How to use the monitor?

Must be taught.

Tim releases the buyer show:

Yes, as a mature technician, using multiple monitors is the basic configuration.

Imagine stacking the contents on these three monitors on the buyer show on the same screen and switching windows back and forth. How tiring it is.

My brother who has published three top-level doctoral students

Tim Dettmers, the author of this guide, graduated with a master’s degree last year and is currently studying PhD at the University of Washington. He mainly studies knowledge expression, question-and-answer systems and common sense reasoning. He has interned in the UCL machine learning group and Microsoft.

According to the doctoral program after graduation last year, Tim’s PhD has only been a year and a half, and now he is the author of three top-summary papers, including one of which is AAAI and one of which is ICLR and the only author.

In addition, he is also a Kaggle enthusiast, and once ranked 63rd in the world (top 0.22%) in 2013.

One More Thing

Actually, after saying so much, you don’t want to install the machine, right?

Tim had already expected that, in addition to the installation guide, he also took the initiative to contribute some installation encouragement:

Although buying hardware is expensive, it will hurt if you make a mistake by mistake, don’t be afraid of installing a computer.

First, the installation itself is very simple. The motherboard manual clearly writes how to install it, which is not much more difficult than installing Lego. It also comes with a lot of guides and step-by-step operation videos. Even if you are a novice in experience, you can learn it.

Second, as long as there is a first installment, it will not be difficult later, because all computers are composed of those hardware. Therefore, just install it once and you can get a lifelong skill, with a very high return on investment.

So, come on, prepare your own equipment ~
