On December 12, reports emerged stating that the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province, along with other relevant departments, recently unveiled the "Action Plan for the High - Quality Development of the Artificial Intelligence Industry in Shandong Province (2025 - 2027)".

This plan proposes to concentrate on nurturing the "large - scale computing power" industry. Given that computing power serves as the core pillar for the growth of artificial intelligence, the plan is designed to refine the industrial layout of computing power, which encompasses "intelligent computing equipment - intelligent computing network - cloud - edge collaboration".

It aims to expedite the development of intelligent computing units, such as locally - produced AI chip servers. This move is intended to satisfy the computing power requirements across various scenarios, including the training, fine - tuning, and inference of large models.

Simultaneously, the plan envisions the establishment of a diversified, ubiquitous, intelligent, agile, collaboratively - scheduled, and green - low - carbon intelligent computing network system. Such a system will bolster the heterogeneous hybrid training capabilities of intelligent computing networks and domestic computing power services, as well as drive the transformation of cloud computing services into cloud - intelligent computing services.
