B[Huawei: Ascend has crossed the ecological inflection point and has the ability and opportunity to build a new AI ecosystem] On September 19, Zhu Zhaosheng, director of Huawei’s Computing Strategy and Business Development Department, said that Ascend has crossed the ecological inflection point and is fully capable and has the opportunity to build a new AI ecosystem in the Agentic era. From a community perspective, the Shengteng CANN open source community has an average monthly active user count of more than 5,200. Since June this year, it has become the most active open source community in China. The number of non-Huawei developers in the community exceeds the number of Huawei developers. Currently, the average daily number of new integrated codes exceeds 30,000 lines. At the model level, more than 40 large language models and multi-modal models have been pre-trained based on Ascend, making Ascend the only AI computing platform in China that supports pre-training. At the ecological level, in addition to its own open source CANN, Shengteng has been connected to mainstream open source frameworks such as PyTorch.

Enhance the long-range reasoning, code generation, and intent understanding capabilities of large language models, tackle multimodal model understanding, generation, and alignment technologies, and achieve world-leading breakthroughs in basic models. Explore new model architecture, swarm intelligence, brain-like intelligence and other directions to seize the commanding heights of the next generation of artificial intelligence technology. Improve engineering levels such as model compression, efficient inference, and lightweight deployment. Construct a classification and grading model evaluation system with international influence. B[Beijing: Promote full-stack autonomy and all-domain applications to seize the commanding heights of global competition in artificial intelligence] On September 9, the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued the "Beijing High-Precision Industry Development Plan during the 15th Five-Year Plan Period." It pointed out that we should promote full-stack autonomy and global applications to seize the commanding heights of global competition in artificial intelligence. Strengthen the security resilience of the independent ecosystem, improve the capabilities of the artificial intelligence system software stack, and accelerate the deployment of a new domestic computing power architecture. Strengthen algorithm theoretical innovation, guide large language models and multi-modal models to compete globally, create a scientific intelligence and embodied intelligence innovation highland, and lay out world models in a forward-looking manner. Promote the evolution of intelligent agents to autonomous execution, accelerate the research and development of key standard protocols, build a control engineering software stack, and develop intelligent agent Internet services. Enrich model service supply capabilities, build a word settlement system, and create a word factory, covering full chain services such as word production, distribution, and consumption. Comprehensively implement the "artificial intelligence +" action, take the construction of a national artificial intelligence application pilot base as a guide, and promote artificial intelligence to empower key areas such as medical care, manufacturing, and education. Cultivate open source projects and open source communities with international influence, and build a collaborative innovation hub for global developers.

B[Alibaba updates flagship model Qwen3.8-Max] "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" reported on the 2nd that on September 2, Alibaba updated its flagship model Qwen3.8-Max, and its performance was significantly improved compared to the older version. After special post-training for programming (Coding) and professional office (Cowork), the overall performance of the new version of Qwen3.8-Max has been enhanced. In CodeArena, the world's authoritative three-party list focusing on front-end programming capabilities (WebDev), it increased by 22 points to 1691 points, ahead of Claude Opus5, Kimi K3 and other models, ranking first in the overall list. At the same time, CodeArena’s updated model price/performance list (Pareto frontier) shows that the new version of Qwen3.8-Max has a comprehensive average of only US$5 per million Tokens, directly "killing" all other models with prices greater than US$5. It is understood that Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba Qianwen's most powerful large language model to date, with a total parameter of 2.4 trillion and support for 1 million context tokens. The updated Qwen3.8-Max has stronger agent programming capabilities and is more suitable for real complex enterprise tasks, scientific research, long-term tasks, etc.
