China News Service, Hefei, April 6 (Reporter Wu Lan) At present, new productivity has demonstrated strong support and driving force for the high-quality development of China's economy, and has become a key source of "power" to comprehensively shape new momentum and new advantages. . Reporters recently visited various types of enterprises in Hefei, Anhui Province, including state-owned, private, and Sino-foreign joint ventures. They observed this city in central China from an enterprise perspective and analyzed its "code" for cultivating and developing new productive forces.

　　Industrial science and technology mutually promote "double strength"

　　In an unmanned workshop of Anhui Forklift Group, the industrial robot's mechanical arm can stretch and retract freely, and a busy scene comes into view. Yang Anguo, chairman and general manager of Anhui Forklift Group, said: "More than 2,000 models and more than 600 types of industrial vehicle products produced online all have independent intellectual property rights. The products are sold to more than 150 countries and regions around the world, including overseas sales in 2023. Received US$814 million.”

　　What is the best-selling “password” at home and abroad? Yang Anguo believes that it is key to integrate high-quality development requirements throughout the entire process of new industrialization, continuously cultivate new models of intelligent manufacturing, inject new momentum for transformation and development, and continuously expand new quality productivity.

　　According to reports, the company has joined forces with universities, scientific research institutes, etc. to establish new platforms such as the "Anhui Intelligent Industrial Vehicle Industry Innovation Center" and "Anhui New Energy Forklift Manufacturing Innovation Center", and established a technological innovation system that deeply integrates industry, academia, and research.

　　Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone, where Anhui Forklift Group is located, is the largest advanced manufacturing cluster in Anhui Province. Zhang Lu, deputy director of the zone’s management committee, said: “The Economic Development Zone uses industry as the most important incubator, accelerator, and amplifier for technological innovation. It uses technological innovation to transform existing productivity, spawn new productive forces, and promote the mutual reinforcement of industry and technology. .”

　　Model computing power iteration "updated"

　　"It can translate more than 80 languages, which can meet the translation needs in various situations and achieve barrier-free communication." In the exhibition hall of iFlytek Co., Ltd. (iFlytek for short), staff demonstrated several voice products.

　　In recent years, iFlytek has continued to build an AI industry ecosystem based on its core artificial intelligence technology. In terms of platform ecology, as of the end of February, its open platform had gathered more than 6.115 million developer teams. iFlytek's Spark model has been iteratively upgraded since its release in May last year, and it is planned to launch Spark model V4.0 in the near future to benchmark GPT4 model products.

　　Under the leadership of iFlytek, the "leading goose", the number of companies in the "China Sound Valley" located in Hefei High-tech Zone has exceeded 2,400.

　　As the demand for intelligent computing power from large AI models and massive data continues to rise, computing power has become a key engine for releasing new productivity. Lenovo's first domestic AI server was recently delivered in Hefei. The server is the latest AI server designed for large model training and inference.

　　"Lenovo is in the midst of a wave of 'accelerating the formation of new productive forces'." Ding Xiaohui, Vice President of Lenovo Group and CEO of Lianbao Technology, said, "We will continue to strengthen our research and development efforts to cope with the challenges brought by the explosive growth of data, and provide products in line with the market Innovative products in demand.”

　　Technological innovation continues to “bless”

　　"As a technology-driven enterprise, Guoxuan High-tech regards technological innovation capabilities as its core competitiveness." Wang Qisui, vice president of Guoxuan High-tech Co., Ltd. (referred to as Guoxuan High-tech) said, "In 2022, Guoxuan High-tech's R&D investment will reach 2.416 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 107.09%, accounting for more than 10% of revenue for four consecutive years.”

　　Continuous high investment in R&D also brings a broad market to the company. "First, let's take a look at some of our rankings in key business markets: global installed capacity of lithium iron phosphate ranks third; global shipments of energy storage lithium batteries rank sixth..." Wang Qisui introduced, "Currently, the first phase of Guoxuan New Station is the The factory focusing on the production and manufacturing of Volkswagen standard battery cells has achieved large-scale industrial production. The factory uses the latest sixth-generation production line. Compared with the productivity of the first-generation production line of 1,000 people/GWh, the sixth-generation production line only requires 16 people/GWh.”

　　In recent years, Anhui has implemented the "doubling" action of high-tech enterprises and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises in cultivating and strengthening technology-based enterprises, and the "clearing" action of manufacturing enterprises above designated size that have no R&D institutions and no R&D activities to stimulate the "source power" of enterprise innovation.
