Sensetime Partners with Hong Kong Science Park to Develop 40,000P Domestic AI Computing Hub

In a significant development for the region's technology sector, Sensetime-W (HKEX: 00020) has formally entered into a memorandum of cooperation with Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation. The strategic partnership focuses on the construction of artificial intelligence computing infrastructure and fostering a robust AI industry ecosystem.

The outlined plan involves a collaborative effort to advance the development of domestic AI computing infrastructure within Hong Kong. This initiative will be executed in multiple phases, with the initial stage targeted for completion within the current calendar year. The ultimate objective is to establish a computing cluster with a capacity of 40,000 PetaFLOPS (P) by the year 2030, positioning it to become the largest domestic intelligent computing center in Hong Kong.

From a technical standpoint, the planned computing center is designed to incorporate a diverse array of domestic GPU computing clusters. It will integrate high-speed optical interconnection solutions alongside green energy-saving and energy storage technologies. This configuration aims to provide enterprises with robust computing power support for scenarios such as large model training, inference, and the deployment of large-scale applications.

Both entities involved in this collaboration have strong roots in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation is a statutory body established by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, tasked with driving local technological innovation. Sensetime-W is an artificial intelligence company that was initially incubated at the Hong Kong Science Park and subsequently listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.

According to the announcement, the newly established Hong Kong intelligent computing center will not only provide computing resources for local businesses but will also support cross-border and international clients in deploying AI applications. This service is intended to meet the intelligent transformation needs across various sectors, including finance, education, healthcare, and urban governance.
