In this era of intelligent creation where AI technology is reconstructing business rules, terminal devices are becoming an important interface for human-computer symbiosis. On July 27, the "Best Investment in the AI Intelligent Creation Era" themed forum and SJTU SAIF MBA new curriculum upgrade launch conference, hosted by Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was successfully concluded in Nanshan, Shenzhen. Cao Yalian, Chairman of SIXUNITED, as an alumnus of SJTU SAIF MBA and a pioneer in AI terminal innovation, was invited to participate in an in-depth roundtable discussion. Using the company's collaborative practices as a starting point, he deeply explained how AI moves from the laboratory to the industrial scene, injecting new productivity into thousands of households and industries.

Greater Bay Area Supply Chain: The "Efficiency Engine" of AI Terminal Transformation

SIXUNITED positions Shenzhen as one of its "dual R&D centers," leveraging the innovative potential of Nanshan District's "Oriental Silicon Valley" to build a global innovation network. "The supply chain integration capabilities of the Greater Bay Area are rare globally." Chairman Cao Yalian said at the roundtable forum that SIXUNITED's rapid development is inseparable from the support of this innovative land. As a core hub for global electronics manufacturing, the Greater Bay Area has built a complete industrial chain ecosystem from chip R&D to terminal manufacturing. In terms of hardware, Shenzhen has gathered global top computing platforms such as Intel, NVIDIA, Huawei, and ZTE, forming a one-stop supply capability of "chip-module-terminal." In terms of software, a huge group of over 7 million software engineers provides strong talent support for AI hardware algorithm adaptation and scenario implementation.

Taking SIXUNITED's AI PC product line as an example, from chip manufacturing to module packaging, from solution design to terminal assembly, every link can complete resource integration within a "two-hour traffic circle," achieving "local design, nearby production, and rapid iteration." This model not only shortens the product launch cycle but also promotes flexible customization of AI PCs, servers, and other solutions through supply chain flexibility. He emphasized: "The core advantage of the Greater Bay Area lies in technological collaboration and ecosystem co-construction. When hardware manufacturers, chip companies, and software developers work together deeply, the supply chain becomes an accelerator of innovation, driving AI terminals to become an efficiency engine for productivity transformation across industries."

 

SIXUNITED: Focusing on Longevity, Driving Sustainable Value in the AI Era

The high investment characteristics of AI terminal R&D require companies to build sustainable capital attractiveness. Chairman Cao Yalian said that under the AI wave, many are chasing the trend, but only by focusing on longevity and not chasing short-term gains can one achieve long-term success. Since launching its AI strategy in 2022, SIXUNITED has continued to increase its investment in AI research every year, building an open AI ecosystem by collaborating with partners such as the Intel Software Alliance and the ModelArts community, transforming single-point technological breakthroughs into cluster efficiency leaps. This "technology collaboration + ecosystem alliance" model not only reduces the risk of technology implementation but also provides a clear return path for long-term capital through large-scale application scenarios. He pointed out: "Capital is not concerned with single-point technology, but with the sustainability of the ecosystem. Only when technological breakthroughs are deeply bound to industrial needs can long-term value that can withstand the test of time be created."

Core Competitiveness in the AI Era: From "Tool Use" to "Value Creation"

Chairman Cao Yalian emphasized at the forum that the core competitiveness of humans compared to AI lies in human mastery of technology and creative thinking. He used SIXUNITED's AI PC as an example: An ordinary person may need a week to read a book and may not be able to fully remember it, but with SIXUNITED's AI PC and its integrated AI assistant, users can analyze the key points of a book in seconds, quickly query key information, and automatically generate mind maps; in addition, the AI assistant also supports offline local AI image generation, intelligent Q&A, and meeting minutes generation.

These scenarios demonstrate that the essence of AI is an efficiency revolution. Through core technologies such as MOE (Sparse Expert Architecture), MCP (Ecological Connection Protocol), RAG (Knowledge-Enhanced Retrieval), and Agent (Intelligent Agent Task Execution), AI is deeply reconstructing traditional fields such as government affairs, medical care, and industry, freeing humans from repetitive and complex work and shifting towards more creative value creation. "AI is a tool, but also a mirror—it reflects how humans define their future." Chairman Cao Yalian concluded that when technology truly serves people, the ultimate goal of efficiency improvement will be to allow humans to have more time to experience life and pursue higher-dimensional spiritual satisfaction.
