Introduction:
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the AI wave has taken the world by storm, and all walks of life are actively exploring integration and innovation with AI technology. In this wave, many companies are scrambling to enter, hoping to seize this historic opportunity and achieve leapfrog development. However, like any emerging industry, competition in the AI field is extremely fierce, and it is unknown who will eventually become the best in the industry.
In this fierce competition, there is one role that appears to be relatively stable, and that is infrastructure service providers. They provide necessary technical support and data resources for AI development and application, and are a key force in promoting the development of AI technology. Just like the wave of innovative drugs, it's hard for us to predict who will die in the end. Without changes in the international environment, CXOs once became the biggest winners — although they were not directly involved in drug research and development, they provided indispensable technical support and services to the entire industry.
Therefore, Glonghui has set its sights on AI infrastructure service providers that can achieve technological autonomy and control and promote the localization replacement process, and continuously tracks and thoroughly observes them. We believe that among them, some companies will play an important role in the wave of AI technology innovation, providing a solid foundation for the long-term development of the industry.

At the recent Xiang Xingli Future Data Technology Summit, Starlink Technology unveiled several groundbreaking AI products. This marks that this enterprise, a pioneer in domestic big data basic software, is moving towards a new stage of comprehensive strategic upgrading and rapid development.
Mr. Sun Yuanhao, founder and CEO of Starlink Technology, announced at the summit that the company will extend from Data Infra to AI Infra and is committed to helping companies build their own AI infrastructure. Sun Yuanhao said, “The new products we have launched not only reflect Starlink Technology's ability to innovate in the field of AI, but also demonstrate our determination to help enterprises digitally transform.”
From Data Infra to AI Infra
Extending from Data Infra to AI Infra is a natural process that adapts to technological developments and market demands.
Since its inception, the company began to build a strong data infrastructure. As a solid backing for enterprise data, Data Infra undertook the critical task of storing, processing, and analyzing data. With the booming development of AI technology, customer demand for data processing is increasing. It is no longer limited to basic processing and analysis, but is pursuing deeper and broader applications. In an interview with reporters during the summit, Mr. Sun Yuanhao revealed that in the past year, the company has encountered many technical challenges in helping enterprises deploy large models. This has inspired Starlink Technology's determination to build a comprehensive AI infrastructure in order to accelerate application development and provide solutions to the challenges in the enterprise intelligence process.
At the Xiang Xingli Future Data Technology Summit, Starlink Technology released a variety of heavyweight products, including Infinity Question Numbers, the Starlink Knowledge Platform TKH (Transwarp Knowledge Hub), and the Starlink Corpus Development Tool TCS (Transwarp Corpous Studio), which further improved the company's strategic layout in the field of AI. Sun Yuanhao pointed out that Starlink Technology has built a complete tool chain around AI Infra, covering key aspects such as large models, knowledge base, application orchestration, and computing power management. At the same time, he also emphasized the importance of enterprise-level security and governance, promising that Starlink Technology will adopt fine-grained security measures such as permission control, data masking, and model encryption to ensure the stability, trustworthiness, and compliance of AI systems in production environments.
With the full-stack tool chain and knowledge platform provided by Starlink Technology, enterprises can efficiently and safely integrate AI capabilities into their products and services to achieve intelligent upgrading of business processes. On top of the AI Infra built by Starlink Technology, users can significantly improve the accuracy and performance of large models only through fine tuning and heavy training, so that they can better serve the needs of enterprises and industries. In addition, Starlink Technology's corpus tools also help enterprises efficiently organize and train models to effectively meet the challenges of scattered and organized corpus. Sun Yuanhao said, “We are committed to reducing the workload of users, helping with cleaning, screening, and grading through integrated tools, and supporting the generation of pre-training formats and question-and-answer formats to train more accurate models.”
Predictably, these innovations are expected to significantly promote the application and development of AI technology, and have won wide praise and recognition from customers. According to the latest data, by the end of 2023, orders for AI Infra-related products in the Starlink Technology Big Model Era had exceeded 54 million yuan.
Join hands with Intel to enter the first year of AI PCs
Another highlight at the summit was the PC version of Wuya Insight AI released by Starlink Technology. Earlier, Starlink Technology and HP released three Z series AI workstations, focusing on the AI knowledge base, smart vision and large model service platforms, which sparked widespread discussion in the market. Meanwhile, the newly released PC version of WuyaiZhi AI further demonstrates the potential of Starlink Technology in the field of personal intelligence applications.
The PC version of Qizhi AI is a large-scale application product specially designed for individual users. It aims to bring users an unprecedented intelligent experience and a leap forward in work efficiency. According to reports, the PC version of Wuya Knowledge AI is based on Starlink Technology's advanced large model technology, and can run smoothly on mainstream PCs equipped with Intel Core Ultra based on integrated graphics cards and NPUs. It supports multi-format, unlimited length file data storage, and “knowledge-based” processing and “semantic” querying of multi-modal data, greatly enriching knowledge acquisition and application scenarios.
The powerful combination of software and hardware will lead AI PCs to a broader future.
At the Xiang Xingli Future Data Technology Summit, Tang Jiong, general manager of Intel's China Software Technical Cooperation Division, said, “Intel is willing to work with all ecological partners, including Starlink Technology, to build the future of enterprise artificial intelligence, including the cloud, edge, and end.” Sun Yuanhao, founder and CEO of Starlink Technology, said that the launch of the PC version of the Inquire AI is the result of the company's continuous exploration and innovation of smart PC technology. “We believe this product will greatly enhance users' productivity and knowledge management capabilities, while also promoting social progress and economic development.” Sun Yuanhao said.
The release of the PC version of AI may mark a new milestone for Starlink Technology in the field of personal intelligence applications.
Currently, the mainstream opinion in the market is that 2024 will be the first year of AI PCs. According to Canalys forecasts, global AI PC shipments are expected to reach 48 million units in 2024. It is expected that by 2025, this figure will more than double, breaking the 100 million unit mark, accounting for 40% of the total PC market. By 2028, AIPC's annual shipments are expected to soar to 205 million units. From 2024 to 2028, the AI PC market is expected to reach an impressive 44% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), showing strong growth momentum.
This series of actions by Starlink Technology heralds the company's acceleration towards a new AI infrastructure stage. In the future, Starlink Technology will continue to deepen strategic cooperation with partners to jointly promote the widespread application and development of AI technology in various fields.
