The 2025 AIHPCcon supercomputing conference continued the theme of "Driving AI Development with Computing Power". The morning session was hosted by Taiwan AI Cloud and the Administration for Digital Industries, moda. It was the final event of this year's "AI International Technology Day" series, focusing on computing power infrastructure, model performance and urban applications, echoing the implementation of the new ten major construction projects for AI.
The afternoon session, co-hosted by Taiwan AI Cloud and the Tainan City Government, was themed "AI City," showcasing city-level AI initiatives. Through keynote speeches and the forum "AI City: Building a City-Level AI Innovation Ecosystem," the session comprehensively demonstrated Taiwan's strengths in AI computing power, model training, and AI Foundry, further empowering cross-domain integration of cities and ecosystems, accelerating the implementation of applications in transportation, healthcare, disaster prevention, and other fields, and forming a replicable and exportable Taiwanese AI development model.
AMD Senior Technical Advisor Chang Ou-Yu-Hao pointed out that as the demand for privacy and data security increases, AI workloads are gradually moving to the endpoint, and the NPU has become the core of AI PCs, with energy efficiency significantly better than general architectures. On this basis, the AMD Ryzen AI Max series supports up to 96GB of dedicated GPU memory, which can run billions of models on a single machine, demonstrating the end-to-end computing power advantage.
