Huawei releases new flagship Mate30 series

Brief News: Recently, Huawei held new product launch conferences in Munich and Shanghai, officially launching this year's flagship Mate series product, the Mate 30 series. Equipped with HiSilicon Kirin 990 processor, AI functions have been greatly enhanced , face detection efficiency has been increased by 24 times, and typical daily power consumption is less than 5%. At the same time, it can realize the function of multi-instance segmentation of videos. The entire processor is based on the flagship chip of Da Vinci architecture NPU - using NPU dual large core + NPU micro core computing architecture, large core achieves excellent performance, micro core achieves ultra-low power consumption, and daily APP and game experience is smoother.

In addition, the Huawei Mate 30 series also comes with its own black technology - AI remote control function. Without touching the screen, you can slide up and down in the air through the gesture sensor, and capture screenshots in the air, bringing an innovative way of interaction.

Mr. Gangtie said: Against the background of the rapid development of smart vending machines, new generation technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and mobile communications will support self-service retail, provide diversified operating models, payment models, and data operations and management, and help traditional vending machines achieve intelligent upgrades, reduce operation and maintenance costs, enhance user stickiness, increase sales revenue, and realize offline sales and online operations.

The first batch of commercial autonomous driving licenses in China

News in brief: The National Intelligent Connected Vehicle (Wuhan) Test Demonstration Zone was unveiled in Wuhan on the 22nd. Baidu, Hailiang Technology, Shenlan Technology and other companies obtained commercial licenses for autonomous driving vehicles. The National Intelligent Connected Vehicle (Wuhan) Test Demonstration Zone is located in the Smart Eco-City of Wuhan Development Zone. The first phase is 28 kilometers long. It is a demonstration zone for intelligent connected vehicles based on 5G technology V2X vehicle-road cooperative system . The autonomous driving scenes of various models such as buses, sanitation vehicles, taxis, and logistics vehicles are open at the same time. At present, it has attracted more than 40 domestic and foreign automobile companies to settle in. In the future, unmanned vehicles can not only be tested on open roads, but also be explored for commercial operations.

The Steel Master said: Wuhan Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Zone is the first in China to build a research and development, testing and industrial cluster area for L4 and higher-level autonomous driving vehicles. It welcomes all companies that have obtained autonomous driving test certificates across the country to test and operate in Wuhan with zero threshold, and provides appropriate subsidies, which will promote China's "next generation automobile" industry to truly be at the forefront of the world.

The country's first 5G "contactless payment" convenience store

Brief: Just scan the code and follow the mini program before entering the store, pick up the products you like on the shelf in your hand or put them in your bag after entering the store, and walk out directly when leaving the store. It is the first "contactless payment" convenience store in the country that is truly equipped with 5G network . There are more than 50 high-definition smart recognition cameras distributed in the store of less than 100 square meters. Through artificial intelligence AI visual analysis , the shopping behavior trajectory of customers entering the store is tracked at any time, and the shelves are equipped with sensors . Once the goods are taken away, the data of the shelf sensors will change, which will also be linked to the customer's purchasing behavior.

Mr. Gangtie said: From the interconnection of everyone to the interconnection of everything, from life to production, from the physical world to the digital world, in the 5G era, with the realization of applications such as the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles, and the Industrial Internet, it means unprecedented new opportunities for industries such as industry, logistics, transportation, and energy. It is a major change in the future retail industry, and smart retail has arrived.

Huawei releases the world's fastest AI product

Brief: At the Huawei Connect Conference, the world's fastest AI training cluster, Ascend Atlas 900, was launched . The cluster is composed of thousands of Ascend processors. In the training of the ResNet-50 model, the gold standard for measuring AI computing power, Atlas 900 completed the training in just 59.8 seconds , 10 seconds faster than the previous world record . It can be widely used in scientific research and business innovation , such as astronomical exploration, oil exploration and other fields. These fields require huge data calculation and processing, which originally took several months of work, but Atlas 900 can complete it in a few seconds.
