AI Compute Storm at WAIC 2025: “AI Compute Technology Innovation & Industry Practices” Forum Awaits

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic buzzword; it’s a tidal wave reshaping industries worldwide. From smart traffic systems in bustling metropolises to precision agriculture in remote villages, AI’s influence is pervasive. At the core of this digital transformation lies Intelligent Computing, the powerful engine driving the global economy towards high-quality growth. Advances in large models, synergistic heterogeneous computing, and efficient low-bit data formats are not only boosting computational power but also sparking a wave of innovation across sectors like telecommunications, internet services, finance, energy, and healthcare, injecting fresh dynamism into every industry.

However, bridging the gap between groundbreaking technological advancements and tangible industry adoption remains a critical challenge for academia and industry alike. How do we translate cutting-edge research from the lab into real-world industrial applications? And how can we foster collaboration between research, industry, and end-users to build powerful synergy? These are the pivotal questions we need to answer.

Against this backdrop, a key industry event focused on intelligent computing is set to kick off on July 27th. The Intelligent Computing Industry Development Committee (ICI-DG) of the Global Computing Alliance (GCC) will host the “Intelligent Computing Technology Innovation and Industry Practice” forum during the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC). This forum promises to be a “storm center” for thought leadership in intelligent computing, gathering top global experts to share cutting-edge technological breakthroughs and application showcases, paving a reusable path for technological and practical implementation to accelerate the intelligent transformation across all industries.

So, what are the must-see highlights of this forum?

A Stellar Lineup to Discuss the Future of Intelligent Computing

This forum boasts an “all-star cast” of leaders in the intelligent computing domain. Executives and top experts from global leading companies in telecommunications, internet services, finance, energy, and computing power supply will converge. Among them are seasoned business leaders who have pioneered their companies’ ventures in intelligent computing, as well as renowned researchers pushing the boundaries of academic frontiers and providing theoretical underpinnings for the development of intelligent computing. On the stage at the Shanghai World Expo Center, Room 620, on July 27th, academic and industrial wisdom will collide, offering diverse perspectives to deeply explore the present and future of intelligent computing, providing attendees with an intellectual feast.

In-depth Analysis of Cutting-Edge Technologies and Industry Practices

The forum will unveil key technological advancements in intelligent computing, such as “low-bit data formats (e.g., HiFloat8)” and “heterogeneous computing synergy.” Furthermore, the event has carefully curated successful case studies from various value-driven industries including finance, energy, telecommunications, and internet services. From intelligent risk control in finance to optimized production and scheduling in the energy sector; from cloud-network collaboration and intelligent operations for telecommunication providers to personalized recommendations by internet companies, each case study embodies innovative applications of intelligent computing, offering valuable and reusable innovation models for businesses aiming to navigate their intelligent transformation journey more efficiently.

Groundbreaking Deliverables to Witness Industry Growth

A highlight of the forum will be the release of significant achievements. A series of cutting-edge results in intelligent computing will be unveiled to the world. The “Heterogeneous Computing White Paper” will address the computing bottlenecks driven by the AI boom, deciphering the underlying logic of synergistic enhancement across diverse heterogeneous intelligent computing chips and analyzing key pathways for building an autonomous and controllable ecosystem. The “Vector Database White Paper” will spotlight the crucial role of vector databases in high-dimensional data processing, similarity search, and AI applications, cataloging the industry landscape, mainstream solutions, and typical application scenarios to promote the large-scale adoption and innovative breakthroughs of vector databases in the AI sphere.

Additionally, the second batch of the Moloer Community’s council members and new members of the Global Computing Alliance Intelligent Computing Industry Development Committee’s Open Source Collaboration Working Group will be formally introduced. This signifies a significant infusion of new energy into the Moloer Community’s development and underscores the vibrant momentum of China’s open-source innovation ecosystem in intelligent computing. The addition of new members will further foster collaborative innovation in open-source technologies among academia and industry, accelerating the transfer and application of intelligent computing achievements. Here, you will be among the first to witness the flourishing development of intelligent computing technology and ecosystems, keeping a pulse on industry trends.

Diverse Exchange and Industry Interaction to Spark Innovation

Beyond insightful speeches and product launches, the forum features a dedicated “Industry Deep Dive Dialogue” segment. Industry elites will engage in in-depth discussions on highly anticipated topics such as the future direction of synergy among computing power, data, and algorithms. Through an analysis of the key pathways for intelligent computing to empower all industries, the forum aims to provide practical solutions for enterprises facing real-world application challenges, promoting deeper cooperation and coordinated development across the industrial chain.

On-site Exhibition for an Immersive Intelligent Computing Experience

Complementing the forum sessions, the Global Computing Alliance (GCC) will present a visual and experiential showcase of its annual achievements during WAIC. GCC will feature over 20 core accomplishments, spanning the entire industrial value chain from technical standards to application implementations. Furthermore, three interactive demonstration experiences—Diverse Symmetric Computing Architecture, Direct Comparison of Liquid Cooling vs. Air Cooling, and a Collection of Innovative AI Applications—will offer visitors an immersive experience with cutting-edge computing technologies, illustrating firsthand how computing is transforming lives and industries.

The exhibition will revolve around GCC’s three core business focuses: “New Architecture Consensus, New Standard Construction, and New Ecosystem Development,” comprehensively displaying the alliance’s pivotal role and innovative achievements in driving industry progress.

Notably, the exhibition will also include a lucky draw with exciting prizes, guaranteeing a winning experience for all participants. Whether you are an industry peer or a technology enthusiast, you can expect plenty of delightful surprises. We extend a warm invitation to new and returning friends to visit our booth for discussions and to experience the pulse of the computing industry up close.

In late July, Shanghai will host two significant events: the Global Computing Alliance Intelligent Computing Industry Development Committee’s “Intelligent Computing Technology Innovation and Industry Practice” forum (afternoon of July 27th, Shanghai World Expo Center, Room 620) and the Global Computing Alliance’s “New Architecture, New Standards, New Ecosystem” exhibition (July 26-28, Shanghai World Expo Center, L020 on Level M). These events are poised to become the nexus for mid-year technical exchange, a bridge for industrial collaboration, and a gateway to the future of the global computing industry.

Let’s meet there to explore the boundless possibilities of intelligent computing technology, accelerate the integration of AI into the real economy, and jointly forge a brilliant future for the intelligent era!
