Recently, the General Office of the People's Government of Sichuan Province unveiled the Construction Plan for the National Digital Economy Innovation and Development Pilot Zone in Sichuan Province. According to the plan, over the upcoming 3 - 5 years, proactive measures will be taken to foster the clustered growth of cutting - edge technologies and business models within the digital economy sphere.

The plan outlines several specific objectives. Firstly, there's an ambition to establish 1 - 2 national - level emerging industry clusters. This reflects the province's drive to position itself at the forefront of innovative industrial development on a national scale. Secondly, the plan aims to nurture around 10 leading enterprises within the digital economy industry ecosystem. These enterprises are expected to play pivotal roles in driving innovation, setting industry standards, and fostering a competitive environment. Thirdly, the development of approximately 10 industry - benchmark large models with nationwide influence is targeted. These models can potentially revolutionize various sectors by providing advanced analytical and decision - making capabilities.

In terms of digital transformation, significant strides are anticipated. The network promoting digital transformation is set to achieve remarkable outcomes. Plans are in place to establish about 20 digital application scenario laboratories. These labs will serve as hubs for experimenting with and developing new digital applications in real - world scenarios. Additionally, around 200 provincial - level digital transformation promotion centers will be set up. These centers will act as catalysts for accelerating the digital transformation process across different regions and industries within the province. Moreover, 200 advanced smart manufacturing factories will be cultivated, showcasing the integration of digital technologies into traditional manufacturing processes.

Furthermore, the digital infrastructure's physical environment will undergo a substantial upgrade. The total computing capacity is projected to reach 40 EFLOPS (exaFLOPS, which represents 10^18 floating - point operations per second). This immense computing power will provide a solid foundation for supporting the province's ambitious digital economy goals, enabling complex data processing, artificial intelligence applications, and high - performance computing tasks on an unprecedented scale.
