China Mobile is stepping up push to promote wider cooperation in artificial intelligence, as the technology rapidly enters a large-scale commercialization phase.
Zhang Dong, deputy general manager of China Mobile, called for joint efforts from the industry to advance AI development while speaking at the Enterprise AI High-Quality Development Forum hosted by China Mobile during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference which concluded in Shanghai on Monday.
Zhang outlined three strategic priorities: building a secure and efficient AI infrastructure, embedding intelligence into the real economy, and fostering an open innovation ecosystem.
Zhang highlighted China Mobile’s progress in AI infrastructure, including the deployment of multiple computing clusters with over 10,000 GPUs each, 12 regional AI computing centers, and 1,500 edge computing nodes, bringing total AI computing scale to over 107 EFLOPS.
The company’s self-developed Jiutian 35B large language model ranks second globally in the lightweight model category on international benchmark lists. China Mobile has also developed over 50 industry-specific large models and implemented more than 5,000 “AI+” projects.
During the forum, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission unveiled the “Huanxin Community” 2.0 — an open-source AI platform led by China Mobile in collaboration with central SOEs and industry partners. The upgraded platform features enhancements in infrastructure capabilities, scenario-driven applications, innovation competitions, and talent development.
China Mobile also unveiled its industrial internet brand “Mobile Tiangong”, offering a cloud-based intelligent service matrix for manufacturing enterprises. Two of the company’s AI application scenarios — digital twin for water conservancy and AI-powered automotive manufacturing — were selected among the “100 Strategic High-Value Scenarios”, while its transportation and biomedical data sets were included in the “100 High-Quality Industry Data Sets”.
The WAIC 2026 forum, themed “Intelligence-Driven Renewal, Comprehensive Transformation”, brought together government officials, industry leaders, and academics to explore AI’s role in fostering new quality productive forces and industrial upgrading.
