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.
Peter Wu, General Manager of Taiwan AI Cloud and Chairman of the AI Alliance, analyzed the evolution of smart cities, from Smart City 1.0 (cloud), 2.0 (IoT), and 3.0 (image AI), officially moving towards the 4.0 era of "Sovereign AI City". Taiwan AI Cloud possesses full-stack capabilities for comprehensive planning, efficient construction, and continuous maintenance, enabling it to tailor-make sovereign AI city brains for central and local governments. With its independent computing power and reliable models, it promotes cyclical innovation in cities from infrastructure construction and model production to application implementation.
