The first year of AI PCs has arrived, and local applications in the six major scenarios of generative AI are subverting commercial computers
By 2035, generative AI is expected to contribute nearly 90 trillion yuan1 of global economic value, with China exceeding 30 trillion yuan. The huge AI market has pointed out the way forward for the commercial AI PC industry, and rich AI applications have become the focus of the industry's efforts.
Intel helps industry partners take the lead in anchoring the six key scenario applications of AIGC to give full play to the intelligent experience accelerated by AI.
- In AI chatbots, targeted optimization for specific industries and fields can bring users a more professional Q&A experience. Based on the Intel Core Ultra AI PC, Inspur Information can quickly deploy "YuanChat", and users can smoothly use the powerful text creation, programming, mathematical calculation and logical reasoning capabilities of the "Source" large model to enjoy a convenient and safe localized intelligent interaction experience;
- In the AI PC assistant scenario, users can perform AI processing on PCs, personal files, photos and videos, etc., with an intelligent and reliable assistant always accompanied.
- In terms of processing documents, the AI Office Assistant can bring AI function support to a variety of work scenarios and languages through plug-ins in the Office suite, improving office efficiency. Hainan Ofis Information Technology Co., Ltd. demonstrated how to use AI to efficiently process email, form data, and automatically generate work documents to improve work efficiency. Thundersoft demonstrated how to use AI to quickly draft contract documents, and use AI to intelligently analyze litigation cases and provide professional document writing capabilities.
- For knowledge-intensive fields, RAG applications of AI local knowledge bases can help individuals and enterprises share RAG and make more efficient use of knowledge wealth. Transwarp demonstrated how to use AI to build a local knowledge base for finance, making the huge knowledge base easily accessible to users.
- In terms of AI multimedia processing, it can not only help users generate and post-process images, change local image details or image styles, but also generate short videos, 3D models or physical videos through AI, and intelligently generate slow motion, etc., to draw unlimited creativity. In the commercial field, Danghong Technology demonstrated the use of AI to generate high-definition video slow motion, and showed how to use slow motion to achieve production line defect detection and efficiently find fault problems;
- In terms of AI PC management, AI applications can also make AI PC management easier and more efficient through AI-powered functions such as remote management, security protection, cross-device IT management, and O&M. Zhipu AI demonstrates PC intelligent control and Q&A, intelligent document processing, as well as PPT presentations and video presentations, making smart device management easier. Shenzhou Yinuo shared the intelligent management solution of enterprise assets, which intelligently manages various assets of enterprises based on AI large models, quickly inventories and analyzes, and generates data reports to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Commercial AI PCs drive digital transformation, and full-stack AI benefits a wide range of industries
The six major scenarios of generative AI bring intelligent experience to business users, and in industry applications, Intel has helped local ISVs build full-stack AI solutions based on the strong strength of AI PCs, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and promoting the digital transformation of various industries.
For example, in the education industry, large language models built on AI PC terminals can greatly improve the efficiency and quality of teachers' lesson preparation, and contribute to alleviating the contradiction between teachers and learning and realizing the sharing of high-quality educational resources. For government office scenarios, considering the needs of data privacy control, AI PC terminals are very suitable for deploying local large models to improve government office efficiency and benefit people's livelihood, thereby providing new quality productivity. Nanjing Yingqi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. uses the Core Ultra processor and OpenVINO™ deep learning suite as the carrier to create a low-cost, high-quality digital human solution to achieve fast and accurate digital human intelligent question answering.
Nowadays, AI is entering thousands of industries such as digital humans, financial customer service, and professional design in the retail industry, and the driver of Intel's AI PC technology is working together with a large number of partners to give intelligent "core" power to various industries. Intel will form Intel's "core" power from full-stack AI products and solutions, an inclusive and open industrial ecosystem, and the cultivation of AI professionals, and work with industry partners to accelerate the digital transformation of China's industry and give full play to the greater value of AI.
Three engines + three laws to achieve AI PC
In the era of generative AI, innovative AI applications and industry applications are inseparable from powerful AI computing power.
Three engines to power generative AI. The Core Ultra processor's powerful CPU+GPU+NPU three AI engines allow 20 billion parameter LLMs to run locally. The powerful performance cores and efficiency cores in the CPU bring higher data throughput and performance, the Intel Arc ™ GPU delivers about 2x the performance and performance-per-watt ratio for faster video editing and faster energy efficiency, and the design based on Intel 4 process technology and 3D high-performance hybrid architecture, and the neural network processing unit NPU support for continuous AI applications to accelerate battery life. Intel Core Ultra processors are powerful enough to put the inference process on the end device, and can run 20 billion large language models without an Internet connection to the AI PC, producing high-quality images and videos, balancing the cost and efficiency of creativity. For commercial AI PCs, Intel launched the Intel Core Ultra-based vPro platform, which combines the productivity, security, manageability, and stability of AI and commercial platforms to benefit enterprises and improve efficiency.
Three rules to point the way for AI PCs. Based on the actual application of AI PCs, Intel has also proposed three major rules: economic, physical, and data confidentiality, emphasizing the inevitability of local generative AI. In the economic law, the local processing of AI data can reduce the cost of cloud services and optimize the economy, in the physical law, the timeliness and accuracy of AI services require to improve the transmission speed between the cloud and the device to solve the bottleneck, and in the data confidentiality law, it is necessary to ensure the security and privacy of user data to prevent abuse and leakage.
Ready to go, the industry takes off
AI is the core engine of the digital economy, and the digital economy is an important support for new productivity. 2024 is the first year of AI PCs and the first year of the AI application industry. At present, Intel has gathered more than 35 local ISVs and more than 10 OEMs to support the trend of AI PC innovation and lead the development of generative AI. Intel will continue to work with industry partners to develop more new applications, new scenarios, and new forms of commercial AI PCs, promote the inclusion of AI in a wider range, and accelerate the realization of AI ubiquitous.
