Cambrian improves product performance in AIGC and large language model fields and promotes technical cooperation
Currently, the technology of artificial intelligence chips is still in its early stages of development. The speed of technological iteration is accelerating, and the path of technological development is still being explored, with no architecture or system ecology having formed an absolute advantage yet. With more and more manufacturers launching AI chip products, the market competition in this field is becoming increasingly fierce.
Since its establishment, Cambricon has been focusing on the field of AI chip design, accumulating strong technical and R&D advantages. It has obtained a batch of core technologies and key patents, and its ability for technological innovation has been widely recognized in the industry. The company has early realized the productization of several technologies, providing a series of intelligent chip products and platform-based basic system software with cloud-edge integration, software-hardware collaboration, training-inference integration, and a unified ecology. With leading R&D capabilities, reliable product quality, and excellent customer service, Cambricon has accumulated good brand recognition and quality customer resources. Currently, Cambricon's products widely serve server manufacturers and AI application companies, supporting the intelligent upgrade of industries such as the internet, cloud computing, energy, education, finance, telecommunications, and healthcare, and facilitating the rapid development of the AI industry. This also provides convenience for the market expansion of Cambricon's future new products.
With gradually improving product competitiveness, continuously optimized software ecology, and good customer reputation, Cambricon will continue to carry out high-quality iterations on cloud-edge chip products and basic system software platforms, deepen industry customers, expand potential markets, provide customers with high-quality products and flexible and efficient technical support services, and realize the landing of more landmark application scenarios.
In addition, Chen Tianshi, Chairman and General Manager, stated at the semi-annual performance briefing that in 2023, Cambricon, based on the advantages of cloud-based products, optimized the performance of the company's products in the AIGC and large language model fields, which have recently emerged, and promoted technical and product cooperation with multiple industry customers and ISVs. The sixth-generation intelligent processor microarchitecture and instruction set are under development. The new generation of intelligent processor microarchitecture and instruction set will focus on optimizing scenarios such as training and inference of large natural language processing models and recommendation systems, enhancing product competitiveness in programming flexibility, energy efficiency, power consumption, area, and other aspects.
Regarding Cambricon's intelligent computing cluster system business, Chen Tianshi believes it has strong market competitive advantages. On one hand, Cambricon's intelligent computing cluster system can be applied to customers with relatively weak AI application deployment technical capabilities, providing services according to their requirements, lowering the threshold for customer development and deployment of intelligent applications. Meanwhile, Cambricon’s unified basic system software platform can significantly improve the operating efficiency of the intelligent computing cluster system, outputting computing power in the form of cloud computing, and maximizing the technical advantages and features of the Siyuan series chips and accelerator card products. On the other hand, Cambricon has successfully implemented projects with market influence and good reputation in the early stage, and ample project experience is beneficial for the company to continue to expand business in this field.
