At the conference, which was held by Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area Management Committee, E-Town's top ten AI applied scenarios and results were released in series, the Yizhi government affair large-model service platform was launched, and Beijing AI Application Scenario Institute (BAIASI) and Beijing AI Native Industry Acceleration Platform (BAINIAP) were unveiled.
Beijing E-Town has focused on building itself into an AI town, advancing the deep integration of AI technology with the development of E-Town New Town as well as industrial upgrading and transformation. It has made efforts to introduce technological innovation through scenario applications, establish city-level AI engineering test platforms, and better balance development with safety. It has explored the path mechanism of AI empowering production and lifestyle, pioneered the trial in special industries, high-risk positions, and repetitive labor segments, and boosted the incubation, application and empowerment of AI technology across the district.
Serving as a pioneer in the capital's high-quality development, a ballast of the capital's real economy and a leading site for high-end, sophisticated and cutting-edge technology sectors, Beijing E-Town has nearly 100,000 business entities and attracted 157 projects invested by 102 global 500 enterprises, covering a wide variety of industrial scenarios like biomedicine, automobile manufacturing, commercial space and intelligent manufacturing. By amassing a wide range of high-quality data in vertical fields, the area has enjoyed exceptional AI application advantages, functioning as the best test ground for large AI models and industry vertical models.
E-Town has selected the first batch of AI benchmarking application scenarios, involving ten fields such as medical and health care, transport & travel, car cockpit, humanoid robots, new retail, governmental services, industrial design, drug R&D, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and news & media. In particular, AI plus medical and health care scenarios are applied to support developing AI training centers for medical and health care. E-Town has partnered with authoritative institutions to build high-quality health data zones to promote disease diagnosis & treatment application. Across the district, public health institutions have been accessible as smart medical pilot sites to support large-model enterprises in screening quality solutions around the smart triage, auxiliary diagnosis & treatment and digital doctors.
"We welcome innovation entities specializing in AI chips, large basic models, industry applications and data governance to participate in developing Beijing E-Town's AI demonstration application scenarios." The person in charge of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area management committee issued a recruitment announcement and offered an olive branch to global enterprises in the release session, hoping that through the ten benchmarking application scenarios, a number of pioneering, replicable and promotional E-Town solutions would be offered to drive the development of the AI town.

Yizhi, the city's first large-model service platform for government affairs, was officially launched. This new-generation data infrastructure of Beijing E-Town adopts the new architecture of one portal, three centers and three engines, featuring multi-model management, knowledge base operation, agent convergence, one-stop supervision, plug-in call, and localized adaptation. Yizhi has supported E-Town's departments applying the large-model technology in digital transformation, which has been implemented in eight sub-scenarios.
