Xiangjiang Laboratory Significantly Advances Hunan's "AI Plus" Initiative
2025-11-10
Following the recent release of Hunan Province's Implementation Plan for Advancing the State Council's "AI Plus" Initiative (hereinafter referred to as "the Plan"), Xiangjiang Laboratory—focused on artificial intelligence and advanced computing—has again taken center stage. The Plan designates the laboratory as one of two innovative platforms among Hunan's first batch of ten key sci-tech innovation platforms for "AI+." Simultaneously, the laboratory's self-developed Xiangjiang XuanYuan Pathology Large Model has been recognized by the industry as one of the "Ten Leading Domestic AI Pathology Large Models."
In terms of application, some products developed by Xiangjiang Laboratory have been put into use and are yielding positive results. The "Xiangjiang ZhiBan" robot, backed by Unitree, Range Group, and Guangzhou Hengyi, has been deployed in smart companionship and intelligent manufacturing scenarios. In Tianyi Intelligent's smart workshop, the Xiangjiang Intelligent Manufacturing Large Model is directing robotic arms to weld excavator chassis. The "Xiangjiang Tiansu" intelligent computing acceleration engine, jointly developed with H3C, makes computing power scheduling more efficient. The "Xiangjiang Huitong" traffic modeling suite, created in collaboration with Baidu, has been implemented in Changsha's Lugu Science and Technology Industrial Park, where drivers have clearly noticed reduced waiting times and more orderly road traffic. Collaborations with Hunan Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd. have yielded products like the "Xiangjiang WenChuang" large model, the "Bu Mang Yi Dian" mini-program, the "Silk Road" virtual museum, and the "Shan Hai Ying Zhen" AI mini-program, successfully applied in digital culture, youth entrepreneurship services, smart heritage preservation, cultural tourism, and digital education.
Xiangjiang Laboratory has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in areas such as AI pre-trained large models and embodied intelligent robotics.

Since its establishment over three years ago, Xiangjiang Laboratory has applied for more than 340 national invention patents as the sole or primary applicant, with over 190 patents granted. It was selected as one of Hunan Province's first research institution intellectual property centers and has secured nearly RMB50 million in technology transfer funding through various channels, including patent licensing, equity investment, technology development, and technical services. The laboratory has successively released 26 innovative products, labeled "Xiangjiang No. 1" to "Xiangjiang No. 26," spanning fields such as AI pre-trained large models (including cultural creativity, intelligent manufacturing, transportation, pathology, code generation, and historical simulation), embodied (humanoid) intelligent robots, intelligent agents, brain-like intelligence, bio-intelligent manufacturing, industrial digital twins, the metaverse, culture + technology, smart transportation, low-altitude economy, smart energy, intelligent computing acceleration, and secure data sharing.
Moving forward, Xiangjiang Laboratory will comprehensively deepen technological breakthroughs and enhance the effectiveness of industrial empowerment. It will contribute greater strength to achieving high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and promoting high-quality economic and social development. Living up to the expectations of the era, the laboratory will courageously shoulder its scientific and technological mission, painting a new chapter of innovation.
