The world’s first domestically produced native AIOS operating system is here.
Titanium Media AGI learned that at the 2024 China Operating System Conference on December 10,China’s leading operating system leader, UnionTech Software, has released UOS AI 2.0, which fully integrates multiple AI computing capabilities of hardware, provides users with a system-level, full-scenario intelligent experience through device-cloud integration, and provides an intelligent ecosystem and native AI capabilities to support AI efficient office, and comprehensive upgrade of AIOS ecosystem, thus realizing the application combination of generative AI and operating system.
Liu Wenhuan, President of Tongxin Software, said that in the past five years, Tongxin Software has mainly done two aspects of work. One is to support the autonomy process of basic software in China’s information industry, and the other is to establish a set of China’s largest self-owned operating system. ecology. Nowadays, China’s entire operating system industry is entering a stage of positive circulation, the gap with the international market is gradually narrowing, domestic operating system products are gradually maturing, and the ecosystem is gradually being built.
“We believe that the next generation operating system is three key words: multi-terminal collaboration, cloud services, and AI. We believe that only the innovation of AI+OS can close the gap, innovate user experience, and improve production efficiency.” Liu Wenhuan said that through new products The strategic intention is to stand on the same starting line as international competitors. As the wave of generative AI sweeps across the world, China’s operating system is expected to move from “chasing” to “running parallel”.
Before the meeting, Wang Yaohua, deputy general manager of Tongxin Software Industry and Research Platform, told TMTpost App that Tongxin AIOS will focus on two core scenarios: one is the productivity scenario, which is functionally centered around productivity improvement and production efficiency improvement; the other is the AI ecological scenario, Build the AIOS base and hardware ecosystem for the underlying hardware, and build the AI application ecosystem for the upper layers.
It is reported that,Tongxin Software was established in 2019 and has a team of more than 2,000 people. It was integrated by many companies engaged in operating system research and development, including Deepin Technology. It mainly provides users in different industries with safe, stable, intelligent and easy-to-use operating system products and services. solution. Its headquarters is located in Beijing, and it has also established local technical support institutions, R&D centers and general software and hardware adaptation centers in Wuhan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other places. Technically, Tongxin Software is committed to becoming a backbone operating system enterprise in China.
At the commercial level, since its establishment, the installed capacity of the domestic platform of its independently developed Tongxin UOS operating system has exceeded 8 million units.It serves more than 50,000 customers in government, enterprise, finance, education and other fields. Its service system has penetrated into more than 2,800 districts and counties across the country. It has more than one million individual users around the world. The number of software and hardware ecological adaptations exceeds 7 million. The number of ecological partners is about to exceed 800,000. , more than 15,000 native applications based on Unison UOS have been put on the shelves; the number of Unification UOS ecological adaptations exceeds 7 million, the number of ecological partners exceeds 15,000, and the number of Tongxin ecological alliances exceeds 1,600.
According to Tongxin Software, Tongxin UOS is China’s largest independent ecosystem and the Chinese operating system brand with the highest share in the open market.
Wang Yaohua revealed to TMTpost AGI that the current new UOS AI 2.0 system will have built-in self-developed models with 1.3B (1.3 billion) and 7B (7 billion) parameter scales. Of course, other model API products can also be called.The application of Agent intelligence will become one of the areas where Unongxin Software will focus on technology implementation in the next stage.
The so-called AIOS refers to the comprehensive integration of multiple AI computing powers of hardware, providing users with a system-level, full-scenario intelligent experience through device-cloud integration, and providing a rich intelligent agent ecosystem and native AI capabilities. UOS AI 2.0 brings three major system-level interactive perceptions, AI efficient office for the whole family, and a comprehensive upgrade of the AIOS ecosystem, including bringing three major system-level interactive perceptions: AI search, AI navigation, and AI taskbar, and launching AI efficient office FamilyMart covers four types of personal office scenarios: AI drawing, AI posters, AI PPT, and AI digital employees, as well as two types of collaborative office scenarios: AI conferences, and AI document middle offices, officially opening the era of native AIOS.
Looking to the future,Liu Wenhuan revealed that in the next five-year plan, from 2025 to 2029, Tongxin also has three main goals:
- 1. Expand the 2B2C market, enter thousands of industries and households, create a 2+6+N system, and lay out products around the operating system and corresponding management platform. At the same time, we must create 100 benchmark cases and gather 1,000 industry partners. Serving 10,000 end customers;
- 2. Become an internationally influential operating system company, expand overseas, and use deepin to establish overseas branch communities;
- 3. Product technical capabilities have reached the international mainstream level, using AI, cloud and other technologies to implement leading AI operating systems.
In the long term, the scale of the Xinchuang industry continues to grow.Research data from Zheshang Securities shows that the Xinchuang industry is expected to be catalyzed by the dual factors of benefit policies and orders, and is expected to become the first direction to realize the performance of the computer sector in the next 5-10 years. It is estimated that in 2027, 100% replacement of government and enterprise + eight major industries will be achieved, with a scale of approximately 1.56 trillion yuan. However, assuming a completion rate of 80% in 2027, the corresponding scale will be 1.25 trillion yuan.
Among them, according to the first white paper of China’s operating system industry, “Tongxin AIOS White Paper” (2024), independent innovation of the operating system is an inevitable choice to ensure national information security, and as the cornerstone of the information technology field, the operating system’s independent research and development and innovation Development is becoming increasingly important to China.In 2023, China’s operating system market will reach 19.11 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.21% from 2022, and it is expected to reach 25 billion yuan in 2025.
“The desktop has entered the AIOS 1.0 era, and the server has shown multiple advances in performance, security, operation and maintenance, and AI integration. It is the most significant technological innovation trend in China’s operating systems in 2024.” Cloud Computing and Big Data Research Institute of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology Xu Enqing, director of the Digital Transformation Department of Government and Enterprises, said that the main driving force for the future growth of the operating system market will come from server operating systems. On the one hand, it is the new market demand in the industry’s informatization construction, and on the other hand, it is the new market demand brought by the heavy volume of Al servers. .
Sun Jiaguang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in the past five years, the most significant achievement of Unison Software is that it has given China its own usable and easy-to-use operating system, which has performed well in aspects such as ease of use, stability, and security. Now, it has undertaken the historical mission of developing the next generation operating system and built internationally leading technological advantages in terms of intelligence, cloudification, security, cross-device integration, ecological expansion and openness.
Liu Wenhuan emphasized that in the next five years, the company will target the “hundred million” user scale and create operating system products with international mainstream standards and a Chinese operating system brand with international influence.
