On the global map of artificial intelligence development, Shanghai is racing forward with the momentum of embodied intelligence and large model evolution, embracing the identity of a "City of Developers."

On March 28, during the 2026 Global Developer Pioneer Conference, Shanghai's Standing Committee Member and Deputy Mayor Chen Jie revealed an encouraging set of data: Shanghai has currently released more than 150备案 large models, and its humanoid robot shipments are leading globally. This marks Shanghai as a core source of AI industry innovation, both domestically and globally.

Hard Computing Power and Data Support: Intelligent Computing Capacity Accounts for 10% Nationally

The reason why Shanghai has become a "production site" for large models lies in its underlying infrastructure advantages:

Computing Power Assurance: Shanghai provides a solid physical foundation for the training and inference of large models with 10% of the nation's intelligent computing supply capacity.

Data Foundation: Operating the country's first public data platform, it solves the problem of "feeding" large models, and several domestic smart chips have made key breakthroughs here.

Talent High Ground: 300,000 AI Enthusiasts Experiment and Innovate Here

The essence of technological competition is talent competition. Shanghai is providing "the most solid and warmest" support for global developers by lowering the barriers to entrepreneurship:

Talent Scale: Relying on the cultivation system of universities and the Innovation Academy, Shanghai has gathered nearly 300,000 artificial intelligence talents.

Error Tolerance Mechanism: The authorities have clearly stated that they will protect developers' bold trials and innovative spirit, ensuring that creative ideas no longer "bear heavy burdens."

Scenario Explosion: Humanoid Robot Shipments Lead Globally

Besides software-level large models, Shanghai also demonstrates outstanding performance in the hard technology field of "embodied intelligence":

Global Leadership: Shanghai's humanoid robot shipments are currently leading globally, achieving an integration of AI intellectual power and mechanical physical strength.

Industrial Ecosystem: From smart chips to end applications, Shanghai is building a complete industrial chain ecosystem for large models.

Conclusion: Building a Dream City That Understands Developers Best

From the implementation of 150 large models to the gathering of 300,000 talents, Shanghai is transforming itself into a city that understands developers best through institutional innovation and infrastructure investment. Here, technology is no longer an island, but rather rapidly moving toward commercial and livelihood deep waters under the joint support of public service platforms, university think tanks, and computing clusters.
