Li Xiaofeng joined artificial intelligence company CoCoPIE

Recently, the artificial intelligence company CoCoPIE welcomed the new head of the company, Dr. Li Xiaofeng.

Dr. Xiaofeng Li has extensive experience in technology R&D and technology management in the industry, and has served as chief architect of OPPO software, vice president of Huawei technologies, general manager and vice president of technology of Huami US branch. Dr. Xiaofeng Li was the Architect Of the open source software Apache Harmony JVM and the Chinese of the Apache Software Foundation.

After joining CoCoPIE, Dr. Li Xiaofeng will lead the company to the next stage of development, including technology innovation, technology research and development, technology productization and other technical management, as well as the company's revenue and daily operations. Dr. Xiaofeng Li will combine his decades of industry experience with CoCoPIE's technology to inject an important impetus into CoCoPIE's development.

Make intelligence everywhere

CoCoPIE is an artificial intelligence technology company with the mission of popularizing real-time artificial intelligence in IoT and mobile terminals, and is committed to using software technology to solve the contradiction between computing power and power consumption between large models of AI and small chips. The company has received tens of millions of yuan in Series A financing led by Sequoia China Seed Fund, and its customers include technology companies such as Didi.

CoCoPIE's core technology, "Compression Compilation Collaborative Design Optimization Algorithm", has advantages in the world and has a number of technical patents. The founding team is comprised of professors in the direction of artificial intelligence and optimization from Northeastern University, North Carolina State University and the College of William and Mary, as well as architects from international technology companies.

Compression and compilation is on the chip to fit the deep learning model to achieve efficient execution of the two key steps, CoCoPIE believes that in the process of deep learning model localization execution, CPU, GPU, DSP and other mainstream hardware still have great potential has not been developed, through the compression and compilation process of exquisite optimization, can change a large number of deep learning tasks can not run on ordinary terminal equipment status quo, so that the intelligent ability of these devices greatly improved. This has laid a solid technical foundation for promoting the ubiquity of artificial intelligence.

Li Xiaofeng and his people

Prior to joining CoCoPIE, Dr. Xiaofeng Li served as Chief Architect of OPPO Software. At OPPO, he led the team to develop and implement the company's basic software technology strategy, and led the invention of the software technology of the third generation application ecosystem after native applications and mini programs.

Previously, Dr. Xiaofeng Li served as Vice President of Huawei Technologies and led the team to develop the next generation of operating systems at Huawei American Research. He led the invention of distributed technologies such as smart device virtualization, which enables multiple smart devices such as mobile phones, TVs, speakers, and car machines to work together in the form of a large terminal, solving a technical obstacle for Huawei's 1+8+N strategy. At Huawei, Dr. Li Xiaofeng's team is also responsible for building a mobile perception platform based on deep learning and developing intelligent perception algorithms for mobile devices.

Prior to joining Huawei, Dr. Xiaofeng Li served as the General Manager and Vice President of Technology of Huami U.S. Branch, where he was responsible for assisting in the establishment of the U.S. R&D team and leading the team in software and algorithm research and development for healthy bracelet products. Assisted the company in listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Prior to that, Dr. Xiaofeng Li worked at Intel for 14 years as a software architect and laboratory leader. During this period, he founded the Intel China Runtime Lab, which has a high reputation in the industry for its contributions to virtual machines and compiler technology, led the team to develop micro-runtime systems that are widely deployed on Intel platforms, and was also responsible for the performance, power consumption, and fluency of Android systems on Intel mobile platforms.

In addition, Dr. Li Xiaofeng has taught parallel computer architecture and virtual machine design technology to graduate students at the University of Science and Technology of China and Peking University.

Regarding the future work in CoCoPIE and the development strategy of CoCoPIE, Dr. Li Xiaofeng said: "As a company of artificial intelligence technology, CoCoPIE hopes to promote the ubiquity of artificial intelligence through ecological cooperation, so that AI technology can truly enter the homes of ordinary people. 'Where there is AI, there is CoCoPIE. ’”
