The Guangxi Traditional Manufacturing Industry Artificial Intelligence Innovation Application and Liugang Large Model Launch Conference was successfully held in Nanning, Guangxi. During the event, Guangxi Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group"), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huawei"), and China Mobile Communications Group Guangxi Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Mobile Guangxi Company") jointly released the first large-scale model of the steel industry in Guangxi, the "Xuantie" large-scale model, and put it into commercial use. This marks the official entry of Guangxi's fully developed steel industry into a new stage of "AI+steel" intelligent transformation.
The 'Xuantie' large model has been officially released
The steel industry is the cornerstone of China's national economy and plays a crucial role in stabilizing industrial growth. This release is an important practice for Liugang and Huawei to serve the development of Guangxi and empower the new quality productivity of steel. It is also a specific measure to implement the characteristic development path of "Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou R&D+Guangxi integration+ASEAN application", and set a new benchmark for the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of traditional manufacturing industry.
Li Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Liugang Group, pointed out in his speech that the "Xuantie" large model released this time is the core implementation result of Liugang's digital transformation strategy. Using Huawei Hybrid Cloud and Pangu Big Model as pre training bases, the focus is on the three core areas of "AI+people, AI+data, and AI+manufacturing" in steel production scenarios. Currently, a "20+N" scenario based model system covering six major links including "pre iron, steelmaking, rolling, logistics, environmental protection, and safety" has been constructed.
Liugang Group will take this opportunity to accelerate the transition from "single point intelligence" to "global intelligence", actively assume the responsibility of the "chain owner" of the industrial chain, provide strong "steel support" for the construction of a modern industrial system in Guangxi, and promote the application and landing of artificial intelligence technology in the southwest region and even ASEAN countries.

Jiang Wangcheng, Vice President of Huawei and CEO of the Oil and Gas Mining Corps, pointed out that relying on Huawei's technological advantages in AI, computing, connectivity and other fields, it will carry out in-depth collaborative research and development with Liugang Group to create a technological foundation for independent innovation for the "Xuantie" large model. In the future, Huawei will work together with Liugang Group, China Mobile Guangxi Company, and industry partners to improve model capabilities, enrich scene ecology, make AI the core driving force of production and operation, promote the deep implementation of big model technology in the entire steel production process, and provide full chain technical support for the intelligent transformation of the metallurgical industry.

At the press conference, multiple leaders and guests jointly unveiled the plaque for the "Guangxi Liugang Artificial Intelligence Research and Innovation Center". The establishment of this center marks that Liugang Group will rely on the "Xuantie" large model base, open up core capabilities, and work together with ecological partners to create high-value industry scenarios. In addition, Liugang Group has signed a deepening cooperation agreement with Huawei.
Shen Min, Deputy General Manager of Liugang Group, provided a detailed introduction to the achievements of the group's artificial intelligence application scenarios. Among them, the intelligent molten iron transportation system relies on 5G technology to achieve the full process intelligence of molten iron transportation; In terms of intelligent steelmaking throughout the entire process, Liugang Group has deployed 33 AI models. By applying the steelmaking intelligent scheduling model, the collaborative ability of each process has been improved, and production efficiency has increased by 8.5%; By applying AI steelmaking models for converters and AI argon blowing models for steel ladles, product quality can be effectively improved, raw material consumption can be reduced, and the production cost of crude steel can be reduced by 5 yuan per ton.
In the intelligent refining scenario, through the integrated solution of "mechanism model+AI prediction+parameter optimization", steelmaking is promoted towards "autonomous driving", and the comprehensive cost per ton of steel is reduced by 2 yuan; In the scenario of intelligent board and billet assembly, AI algorithms optimize production plans, increase board yield by 1% to 2%, and automatically match more than 90% of contracts, effectively reducing inventory pressure.

Finally, Shu Mingen, Deputy General Manager of China Mobile Guangxi Company, and Shi Mao, CEO of Huawei Steel Nonferrous Legion, respectively gave keynote speeches on "5G for Arm, AI for Brain - China Mobile 5G+AI Empowering Industrial Industry Practice and Exploration" and "Intelligent Manufacturing Future: Human Machine Mutual Trust, Multi Machine Collaboration, Autonomous Collaboration, Accelerating Industry Digitization", bringing cutting-edge technological insights and industry trend analysis to the attendees.
Shi Mao mentioned that in the rapidly changing era of AI, the certainty of the "Xuantie" large model architecture and industry partner development system jointly built by Liugang and Huawei can cope with the uncertainty of rapid AI development and support Liugang Group to build strong competitiveness for high-quality development.
