MetaX, a leading provider of intelligent computing solutions, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sinnet Cloud and String AI in an effort to create an intelligent computing power base for smart agriculture. The deal was signed on April 6, 2023 in Shanghai, and will focus on deep integration with the emerging smart computing power market and strengthening cooperation in the field of smart agriculture.

The companies plan to jointly create an ecological chain of smart agricultural application scenarios based on a fully self-developed general-purpose GPU. This will provide technical and computing power support for the construction of Chinese agricultural data center. The partnership aims to take full advantage of technological advancements and promote industry-university-research-government cooperation.

Smart agriculture plays a key role in promoting high-quality agricultural development and realizing rural revitalization. The Chinese government has emphasized the importance of smart agriculture in several recent documents, including the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Key Work of Rural Revitalization in an All-round Way in 2023."

Despite these efforts, there are still many challenges facing agricultural digital transformation. The overall level of agricultural mechanization and automation control in China is still relatively low, and there is no signal coverage in many areas, which poses challenges for long-distance data communication. The cost of wiring coverage signals is also high, limiting the ability to collect data.

MetaX's partnership with Sinnet Cloud and String AI aims to tackle these challenges head-on by leveraging the power of intelligent computing. Through this collaboration, the companies hope to promote innovation in the field of smart agriculture and guide the industry toward a brighter future.

MetaX, Sinnet Cloud, and String AI are joining hands to provide intelligent computing power solutions to revolutionize the agriculture industry. As per OpenAI's estimates, the computing resources required to achieve breakthroughs in artificial intelligence scientific research will double every 3 to 4 months. MetaX is working closely with Sinnet Cloud and String AI to address the computing power demands of the agriculture industry.

Currently, the computing power industry in China is worth 1.5 trillion yuan, with the related industries exceeding 8 trillion yuan. As of June 2022, there are over 5.9 million standard racks and 20 million servers in use, with the total computing power exceeding 150 EFLOPS, ranking China second in the world. However, to achieve smart agriculture's full potential, it is essential to build and improve a new intelligent agricultural data center supported by computing power.

Sinnet has established a national computing power network that currently covers over 20 cities. The network is integrated with network-connected computing, network-powered computing, and network-based computing, and new large-scale intelligent computing power centers are being built. The company provides comprehensive cloud computing solutions, enterprise-level application platforms, Internet access, and other network infrastructure to support digital infrastructure nationwide.

String AI's concept of "smart agriculture and forestry + digital twins" uses artificial intelligence, GPU chips, and big data to equip plants with digital life, simplifying and transforming traditional agriculture and forestry industries. String AI's smart agricultural solution uses GPUs, smart gateways, and electronic control equipment to provide remote intelligent control of agricultural operations. The solution integrates ecological data collection with artificial intelligence to manage pests and diseases, enhance agricultural production efficiency, increase operational efficiency, and reduce costs.

The partnership between MetaX, Sinnet Cloud, and String AI offers a new level of intelligent computing power solutions for smart agriculture, promoting digital transformation and sustainable development of the traditional agriculture and forestry industry.

MetaX, a company specializing in safe and reliable GPU chips design with independent intellectual property rights for various applications, has recently made significant progress in the GPU rendering market. The company has gradually entered the market with its full-stack GPU products compatible with the international mainstream GPU ecology and its independent software stack - MXMACA. MetaX covers application scenarios such as cloud games, digital twins, metaverse, and autonomous driving, making it ideal for combining with String's "smart agriculture and forestry + digital twin."

In order to continue its growth in the market, MetaX has announced a partnership with Sinnet Cloud and String AI. The partnership aims to leverage the core advantages of all three parties to jointly build a new infrastructure for  industry intelligent computing power. The goal is to improve the GPU computing resource capabilities of digital agriculture, empowering the digitalization of agriculture to help drive the development of China's smart agriculture. The ultimate aim of this partnership is to achieve digital radiation of agriculture and become a new engine for rural revitalization.
