At present, China is directly facing a "Chinese-style challenge" in the development of the artificial intelligence industry. China's AI industry shows an "inverted triangle" structure: the infrastructure layer, including the scale and quality of data as well as the scale and performance of compute power, constrains the rapid development of the model layer and application layer.
To address these issues and follow the industry trend of the "first year" of AI, MatrixOrigin has fully embraced and invested in the research and development of large model technologies. The company continues to improve its AI technology foundation and has expanded its business from the HSTAP database to AI infrastructure and AI platforms. Building on its existing product MatrixOne, a hyper-converged heterogeneous multimodal database, MatrixOrigin released an upgraded product project: MatrixOS, an intelligent operating system that connects compute power, data, and AI-Native applications. This project is an AI-native operating system that is minimalist, unified, open-source, and open. It consists of three parts: MatrixOne, a hyper-converged multimodal data management platform; MatrixGenesis, an AI Agent application development platform; and MatrixDC, a heterogeneous compute power management and scheduling platform. It aims to connect resources across domains, provide an end-to-end multimodal AI data intelligence solution, and thoroughly address enterprise challenges in AI compute power, connectivity, and cost control.
