On the 31st, the "Top Ten Trends in the Development of New Domains and New Quality Innovations" released by the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute showed that the amount of my country's artificial intelligence inference data exceeded the amount of training data for the first time, marking that my country's artificial intelligence has entered the stage of large-scale industrial application from the model training and research and development stage.
The latest report shows
The amount of artificial intelligence inference data in my country exceeds the amount of training data for the first time
Data shows that as of June 2026, the average daily word element calls exceed 175 trillion, an increase of more than 1,000 times compared with the beginning of 2024. The iteration cycle of top large models has also been compressed from the past few months to weeks or even days. Artificial intelligence is moving from the laboratory stage of "feeding models" to the industrial implementation stage of "using models".
Liu Wenqiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute: Currently, artificial intelligence is reshaping the industrial system at an unprecedented speed. It is no longer just a change in tools, but is becoming a tool for change. Artificial intelligence is becoming a general-purpose technology that drives changes in the entire field.
Intelligent manufacturing is an important scenario that promotes the accelerated large-scale application of artificial intelligence. With the in-depth implementation of the "artificial intelligence + manufacturing" action, my country has built more than 500 outstanding smart factories, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), covering more than 80% of the manufacturing industry categories. Domestic computing power and large models have been implemented in more than 1,000 application scenarios in 20 industries such as steel and automobiles, promoting the continuous expansion of new models such as personalized customization and full life cycle services.
The intersection zone becomes
The main battlefield for new domain and new quality innovation
The report shows that my country's cross-integration fields represented by high-end manufacturing and digital manufacturing have become new industrial momentum, contributing more than 50% to the growth of industrial added value above designated size, releasing strong industrial momentum.
The cross-integration zone has the advantages of multi-field technology overlap and scene superposition, and has naturally become a breakthrough point for original and disruptive innovations to emerge. Intelligent connected cars benefit from the integration and innovation of new materials, new generation information technology, advanced manufacturing and other technologies. They have achieved continuous iteration of large computing power chips and cabin-driving integration technology, and key components such as high-performance lidar and intelligent wire-controlled chassis have been put on the car in batches. In addition, demonstration applications in multiple scenarios such as self-driving taxis, smart logistics, mining areas, and airports have been implemented in an orderly manner. Brain-computer interface integrates technologies such as biomanufacturing, artificial intelligence and new materials. Many products have completed clinical feasibility verification, and its applications are accelerating from the medical field to education, industry and other fields.
Yu Yingyu, Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Accelerate the large-scale application of emerging industries and create the first batch of 133 national emerging industry development demonstration bases. A total of 30 national manufacturing innovation centers have been deployed across the country, 21 national-level manufacturing pilot platforms have been gradually cultivated, 331 pilot platforms have been cultivated, and more than 2,400 reserve pilot platforms have been cultivated. A series of cutting-edge technological innovation breakthroughs have promoted the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly becoming
The backbone of new domain, new quality innovation
The technical route of the new domain and new quality track is uncertain, the scenarios are fragmented, the cost of trial and error is high, and it is highly dependent on agile and flexible innovation entities. At present, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and innovation clusters are becoming the key bearing units for the development of new fields and new qualities.
In recent years, my country has continued to improve the gradient cultivation system of high-quality enterprises, with more than 600,000 technological and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. Among them, there are nearly 6,000 "little giant" companies in emerging and future industries such as quantum technology, artificial intelligence, and low-altitude economy, and a number of unicorn companies have emerged in cutting-edge technology directions such as embodied intelligence, biology, and controllable nuclear fusion.
Yu Yingyu, Deputy Director-General of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: At present, my country has cultivated 1,862 individual champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry, 17,600 "little giant" enterprises that specialize in special industries, more than 150,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in special industries, and more than 500,000 high-tech enterprises. The integrated development of large, medium and small enterprises has been deeply promoted.
Data show that in 2025, the R&D investment intensity of my country's specialized, specialized and new "little giant" enterprises will reach 7%, which is significantly higher than the average level of industrial enterprises above designated size. The total number of invention patents will reach 460,000, with an average of 26.6 per household.
From January to August 2026, the total profits of specialized and new "little giant" enterprises above designated size increased by 22.2% year-on-year, which was better than the level of industrial enterprises above designated size, which strongly supported the continued recovery of the industrial economy.
