Globally releasing computing power resources, Shenyong Intelligence provides ammunition for AI enterprises.

In the third year of the large model competition, the number of model parameters has expanded from hundreds of millions to trillions, and the computing power requirements for training and inference have increased exponentially. Where there is demand, there is a market, which also means new entrepreneurial opportunities.

In the development cost of large models, computing power accounts for a large proportion. During the R & D process, GPUs and other computing resources are often idle in practical applications due to improper scheduling or inefficient allocation, and the resource utilization rate is generally less than 50%. On the other hand, many enterprises choose hybrid - cloud or multi - cloud strategies, but the resource management methods of different cloud service providers vary greatly, making unified scheduling and optimization extremely challenging.

These pain points have directly spawned an urgent need for an efficient computing power management platform, providing an entry point for entrepreneurs and giving birth to many promising AI innovation projects.

In the second season of the "Lenovo New Business Innovation Ecosystem Roadshow" recently held, Shenyong Intelligence, an AI computing power startup, was selected as one of the TOP 10 projects and became a rising star in the Lenovo ecosystem. This is not only recognition of Shenyong Intelligence's technical strength but also consistent support from Lenovo's Small and Medium - sized Enterprise Business Group for startups: providing comprehensive, high - quality, one - stop services to solve the development problems of enterprises. Lenovo's Small and Medium - sized Enterprise Business Group will work hand in hand with customers and witness their success.

As the core carrier for Lenovo Group to play the role of the chain leader to drive the integrated innovation of startups, Lenovo's Star Plan for Startups has built a three - dimensional empowerment system of technology empowerment, industrial collaboration, and capital acceleration. Startups joining Lenovo's Star Plan will have the opportunity to receive all - round and multi - dimensional support from Lenovo Group, the "chain leader", including but not limited to joint R & D in production, ecological opening, capital support, business expansion, brand and service empowerment, etc. Since the release of the "Star Plan for Startups", it has successfully helped hundreds of startups accelerate their development and has become an important link for Lenovo and small and medium - sized enterprises to move forward hand in hand and empower each other. In the era of accelerating the cultivation of new - quality productive forces, Lenovo's Star Plan for Startups will continue to expand the recruitment scale of ecological partners, looking forward to building a value - sharing community with more industrial innovation forces and jointly climbing to new heights in global technological competition.

To put it simply, Shenyong Intelligence mainly helps AI companies or AI businesses in the market better solve the problem of computing power management. It is like a super administrator. By precisely observing and controlling the execution process of large models in the GPU cluster, it can allocate computing tasks more reasonably, complete the same tasks with fewer machines, and fully utilize the machine performance. In addition, it can also uniformly manage different cloud services and hardware devices and automatically adjust task allocation to make computing power utilization simpler and more efficient.

In the view of Huang Kecheng, the co - founder and CEO of Shenyong Intelligence, "The next decade is a very important period for the implementation of AI. We believe it is a long - term endeavor, so we started our entrepreneurship from this point to provide services for scenarios where large AI models are used for practical applications."

"Shenyong's Strict Selection", Intelligent Management of Computing Power

AI computing power entrepreneurship is a vast blue ocean. According to forecasts, the AI computing power market will maintain rapid growth in the next few years and may reach a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars by 2030. However, the construction of AI computing power cannot be completed overnight, and the competition and risks it faces cannot be ignored:

First, high technological barriers. AI computing power management involves multiple complex fields such as distributed computing, task scheduling, load balancing, and hardware optimization, with extremely high technological barriers. To achieve efficient resource allocation, the platform requires powerful algorithm support, such as task priority optimization, fault prediction, and real - time adjustment, which are difficult to develop and optimize.

Second, market dominance by giants and competition among similar startups. Many technology giants have already launched their own computing power management solutions, and startups are at a disadvantage in terms of resources and ecosystem. Many AI Infra startups have emerged at home and abroad, and the market competition is fierce. It is not easy to form technological barriers and brand influence in a short time.

Third, the business model is still being explored. Many small and medium - sized enterprises have insufficient understanding of the value and actual effects of AI computing power management platforms, and more resources are needed for promotion and market development. The needs and budgets of different customers also vary, and it is difficult to formulate a suitable pricing model and make a profit.

Although startups need to face the challenges of technological accumulation and market competition, the domestic market is in a stage of rapid growth with obvious pain points, which provides more entry opportunities for startups.

Shenyong Intelligence was founded in August 2023 and focuses on providing full - stack optimization management platform products and software - hardware integrated solutions for computing resources, models, and applications required for the implementation of large models to intelligent computing centers and AI application enterprises.

Currently, Shenyong Intelligence has two main products: the Emerging AI Intelligent Computing Platform for AI intelligent computing centers and the ENOVA Application Acceleration Platform for large AI model applications.

Huang Kecheng introduced that the core technology of the Emerging AI Intelligent Computing Platform lies in the development of a "process - level" performance observation technology for large models and GPU clusters. Compared with traditional observation methods, it can more accurately observe and control the execution process of large models in the GPU cluster, providing data support for higher - performance large - model task scheduling and GPU performance optimization. "For example, the concurrency that originally required ten machines can now be met with only two machines," Huang Kecheng said. "Our platform can maximize the machine performance."

The ENOVA Application Acceleration Platform can uniformly manage computing resources in a multi - cloud heterogeneous environment, adapt to more than 20 mainstream hardware models, achieve efficient resource utilization, and improve computing performance. Through intelligent scheduling algorithms, the platform automatically adjusts the allocation of computing tasks according to task requirements and computing resource status, achieving "atomic - level" resource scheduling efficiency and optimal resource allocation. "We jokingly call it 'Shenyong's Strict Selection'," Huang Kecheng said.

When talking about the relationship between startups and large companies, although competition is inevitable, Huang Kecheng is generally optimistic. He believes that this track is large enough and the time cycle is long enough, and both domestic and foreign markets are somewhat inclusive. Therefore, there are many opportunities for cooperation between startups and large companies. Startups are more suitable for serving small and medium - sized enterprise customers and can complement the ecosystem of large companies.

"Heavy Users" Experience the Lenovo Ecosystem

Since its establishment more than a year ago, Shenyong Intelligence has cooperated with intelligent computing centers in many regions such as China, North America, and Southeast Asia, as well as several cross - industry application customers, and its commercialization is gradually on the right track.

Huang Kecheng said that the most needed resources for the company at present are industry customer resources and industry knowledge. "We are in talks with the intelligent manufacturing industry. During the cooperation process, we found that we need to find people who can resonate with them and quickly cut into the key points that customers care about," Huang Kecheng said. "There are several key scenarios, such as finance, biomedicine, intelligent manufacturing, and edge - side computing. We hope to build a common understanding together."

Considering these needs, Shenyong Intelligence's investors recommended the second season of the "Lenovo New Business Innovation Ecosystem Roadshow" to them. Huang Kecheng "thought it was very valuable" and signed up for the competition.

As a consumer, Huang Kecheng is quite familiar with Lenovo and even feels a sense of intimacy. He is a heavy user and has been buying Lenovo products for many years. A few years ago, he bought a Lenovo Xiaoxin 14 pro as his main computer. "The user experience of Lenovo's entire computer product line is very good." He especially pays attention to the progress of Lenovo's AI PC and Lenovo's attempts in edge - side AI scenarios. Shenyong Intelligence is currently cooperating with an international edge - side chip manufacturer to provide observable and schedulable services for its edge - side tasks.

"Lenovo's AI PC strategy is a very correct move. We believe that a large part of the technological dividend lies in high - quality data sets, and Lenovo has very complete and powerful intelligent terminals, which means Lenovo has very high - quality data. This is a huge advantage for them to build AI PCs," Huang Kecheng said.

Huang Kecheng carefully prepared for this roadshow. He joked that he participated in the competition with the mentality of making friends. At the roadshow site, he first felt Lenovo's dedication to this event. "Lenovo's ecological thinking is very strong, which also directly reflects the responsibility and pattern of an enterprise. For us startups, being able to find our value and grow in the Lenovo ecosystem in the future will be very helpful."

Thanks to the communication platform provided by Lenovo, Huang Kecheng was also deeply impressed by the technologies and concepts demonstrated by AMD. On the day of the event, he established connections with other entrepreneurs at the site. "The ten startups that finally took the stage are all very excellent projects."

Huang Kecheng was excited about winning the award. He believes that this is a double affirmation of Shenyong Intelligence. On the one hand, it recognizes Shenyong Intelligence's innovative technology, and on the other hand, it is optimistic about Shenyong Intelligence's market potential.

The "Elder Brother" for Young Entrepreneurs

Huang Kecheng once studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a young serial entrepreneur in the technology industry. "The entrepreneurial atmosphere at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is very strong," Huang Kecheng said. When he was still in school, he had an entrepreneurial attempt and gained a lot of experience.

After graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he quickly started his first entrepreneurship. As a co - founder, he joined a brain - computer interface enterprise focusing on the R & D and production of neural state monitoring equipment. This experience helped him accumulate team management experience and also made him deeply understand the balance between market demand and technological innovation.

Shenyong Intelligence is Huang Kecheng's second entrepreneurial venture. He pays more attention to being market - demand - oriented, trying to seize the opportunity of technological iteration to fill the market gap. Now, Shenyong Intelligence is developing more and more steadily, gradually completing product R & D iteration and commercialization.

As a global technology giant, Lenovo is an ideal partner for Shenyong Intelligence. Huang Kecheng is very looking forward to joining the Lenovo ecosystem and conducting more in - depth cooperation with Lenovo.

"We are a R & D - oriented company and lack in - depth understanding of the industry. We need a company like Lenovo to support us. In the investment field, we are also very willing to communicate and even cooperate directly with Lenovo Capital," Huang Kecheng said.

For young entrepreneurs, Lenovo, which is powerful, open, and patient, is like an "elder brother" on the entrepreneurial road, always accompanying them. When enterprises encounter difficulties, Lenovo can always provide timely guidance or support to help them overcome difficulties.

Next, Shenyong Intelligence will continue to improve its technical capabilities and accelerate the commercialization process, allowing the enterprise to move forward steadily on "two stable legs". Huang Kecheng is an optimist. He has full confidence in Lenovo and the Lenovo ecosystem. "This comprehensive ecological support gives us more confidence to move forward."
