At the 2025 OpenAtom Developer Conference, Ni Guangnan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, emphasized that open-source initiatives have become the cornerstone driving global information technology advancements, with particularly remarkable growth in the field of artificial intelligence. He highlighted that China has now risen to become the world's foremost contributor of open-source large AI models. Models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, and Kimi have secured top positions on the LMArena platform, showcasing China's prowess in this domain.

Citing a recent U.S. report, Ni Guangnan pointed out that a staggering 80% of American AI innovation firms rely on Chinese open-source models, underscoring the profound international impact of China's open-source ecosystem. Furthermore, the OpenEuler community has witnessed remarkable growth, amassing over 2,100 member organizations and 23,000 developers. Global downloads of OpenEuler have soared past the 5.5 million mark, a testament to its widespread adoption and popularity.

Ni Guangnan reiterated the critical importance of adhering to open-source principles, fostering open collaboration, and promoting joint innovation. He stressed that these efforts are essential for solidifying the foundation of operating systems in the era of "AI+", where artificial intelligence is seamlessly integrated into various aspects of technology and daily life.
