Zou Pengjie, head of Wenzhou Yuanyuan Innovation Center
At the beginning of the event, Zou Pengjie, head of the Wenzhou Yuanyuan Innovation Center, presided over the opening ceremony. He mentioned that since the Chinese New Year, DeepSeek’s popularity has been high. Everyone should have seen a lot of news, from its reduction in computing power training costs to its complete open source promotion. The comprehensive deployment of domestic AI applications, this series of changes not only demonstrates the rapid iteration of artificial intelligence technology, but may also herald profound changes in the industry landscape. Under such a wave, what our companies and individuals can do is the core of today’s event, and it is also the focus of everyone gathering here today to learn and communicate.

Sun Li, head of iFlytek Hangzhou Industrial Center
Sun Li, head of iFlytek Hangzhou Industrial Center, shared the development trend of the artificial intelligence model era and the innovative practices of iFlytek in it with the theme of “AI Model Era”. Sun Li pointed out that artificial intelligence is currently at the peak of the fourth wave. Technological breakthroughs represented by deep learning and Transformer architecture have promoted great progress in natural language processing, image recognition and other fields. As a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, iFlytek has built a strong industrial ecosystem based on its advantages in core technologies such as speech recognition and natural language processing. Sun Li introduced in detail the achievements of iFlytek in technology research and development, platform construction, and industrial empowerment, including the intelligent voice national artificial intelligence open innovation platform it undertook and the industrial acceleration centers it built in many places across the country, demonstrating iFlytek’s positive efforts to promote the implementation and application of artificial intelligence technology and assist enterprises in digital transformation.
Sun Li further elaborated on the new opportunities brought by large-scale model technologies such as DeepSeek to enterprises and entrepreneurs. He pointed out that the emergence of large models not only changed traditional production methods, but also provided enterprises with smarter and more convenient tools, such as smart office, smart programming, smart customer service, etc., greatly improving production efficiency and innovation capabilities. Through specific cases, Sun Li demonstrated the application of iFlytek Spark Model in many fields such as education, finance, industry, and medical care, emphasizing its powerful ability to solve industry pain points and improve user experience. He also mentioned that iFlytek provides companies and entrepreneurs with rich AI products and capabilities through open platforms, helping them quickly achieve technology implementation and business innovation. Finally, Sun Li called on companies and entrepreneurs to actively embrace artificial intelligence technology, but not blindly follow suit. Instead, they should try more different applications, combine their own development positioning and business needs, and gradually explore the connection between technology and business: You may just want to use it to optimize a certain process or improve the efficiency of a certain link at the beginning, but as you gain a deeper understanding of technology, you will find that the value it can bring goes far beyond that.

Ma Qianli, co-founder of Unbounded AI
Ma Qianli, co-founder of Unbounded AI, shared with the theme of “2025 Trends in AIGC Industry from DeepSeek”, deeply analyzed the current situation and future direction of the AIGC industry, and pointed out that DeepSeek, as a typical representative of the AIGC field, demonstrated the spirit of open source and the pursuit of inclusive AGI, its open source model and strong technical background have set a new benchmark for the industry. Ma Qianli mentioned that the current AIGC industry presents a pattern of three major forces: American forces represented by Microsoft and Google, China forces represented by Baidu, Huawei, etc., and open source forces represented by LLaMA. Among them, the rise of open source models is particularly eye-catching. Its rapid development and frequent innovation iterations are gradually narrowing the gap with closed-source models. He emphasized that in 2025, the power of open source will further grow, and scientific research institutes will play a key role in it. At the same time, data scarcity will become a major bottleneck in the development of the industry, and companies need to explore new training paradigms and application scenarios. Ma Qianli also mentioned that big factories will accelerate the creation of super applications, while start-ups need to find new survival and development paths in competition.
Ma Qianli further discussed the commercialization challenges and technology alignment issues of the AIGC industry. He pointed out that domestic start-ups are currently facing commercialization difficulties. Companies such as Intelligent AI and Zero Everything have adjusted their team size and even abandoned their large-model businesses. At the same time, unbounded AI has been successfully selected for multiple industry awards based on its advantages in fields such as multimodal models, computing power services and PROMPT engineering evaluation models, and has made significant progress in commercialization. By cooperating with McDonald’s, China Unicom and other companies, Unbounded AI has demonstrated its strong capabilities in SaaS, MaaS and CaaS services. Ma Qianli also mentioned that the future development of AIGC needs to pay attention to the issue of “alignment”, that is, how to align AI with human interests and expectations.
on-site exchange
In the final communication session, the audience actively asked questions about practical issues such as using skills and localized deployment of large model applications.
Some viewers asked: “When using large model applications to ask keywords or create, what techniques should I pay attention to? Is there a fixed formula?” In this regard, Sun Li shared his insights using the agent of iFlytek Spark Model as an example. He pointed out that during daily use, individual users can create a new agent and upload as many files as possible they usually use. After simple adjustment, it (the agent) will be much easier to use. As for the skills of asking questions, 1-2 years ago, everyone might need to learn it when they first started it, and some even spent money to learn it. But now basically every model application has a magic wand-like function during use. It can help you optimize your questions. All you have to do is add more details.
Some viewers also asked: “I want to make localized deployment on my laptop. Does this require high computer hardware? If it is localized deployment, will the files on my computer become unsafe?” In response to this question, Ma Qianli replied that if it is a simple API access and all the computing is in the DS cloud, there will be no pressure. If it is to be deployed locally for training, even for lightweight (deployment), a 50-series card will be required to meet the requirements. In terms of security, if you are computing in the cloud, the background will only read the files you upload, and the security of local files will not be affected.”
In the future, Wenzhou Yuanyuan Innovation Center will continue to cooperate with partners such as Wenzhou International Cloud Software Valley, iFlytek, Hobby Digital Park, and Hangzhou Electric Wenzhou Research Institute to hold more activities focusing on the application and practical operation of artificial intelligence, and work together with all parties to explore the in-depth application of artificial intelligence in different industries, promote the implementation and development of artificial intelligence technology, and help enterprises and entrepreneurs seize the opportunity and achieve rapid development in this wave of technology.
