China's first large AI model for power generation industry debuts

China's state-owned CHN Energy Investment Group (CHN Energy) launched "Qingyuan", the country's first large artificial intelligence (AI) model for the power generation industry, in Beijing on Saturday, aimed at enhancing safety, efficiency, environmental friendliness, and intelligence in power generation.

Simultaneously, with the number of parameters reaching the one-hundred-billion-level, it is also the world's first large AI model for the power generation industry, significantly enhancing its inferential capabilities.

The large AI model operates on the basis of CHN Energy's world's largest installed power generation capacity, leveraging a powerful unified AI platform, and integrating high-quality datasets unique to the power generation industry.

It comprehensively plans various business domains, including engineering construction and production operations in thermal power, hydropower, and new energy generation industries, covering dozens of key application scenarios and over 100 intelligent entities.

"This launch covers four core business domains: safety and environmental protection, electricity trading, production scheduling, and equipment maintenance, and includes 13 key application scenarios and a total of 41 intelligent entities. Addressing longstanding challenges in the power generation industry, including safety risk management, power trading decision-making, multi-energy synergy, and passive equipment maintenance, the model offers an integrated solution for the industry from electricity trading to production operations," said Wang An, manager of the operations analysis division under the power department at CHN Energy.

The "Qingyuan" large AI model has redefined the paradigm of intelligence in the power generation industry. It deeply integrates diverse data including operational monitoring, equipment status, meteorological conditions, and electricity price trends, constructing a powerful intelligent system that covers the entire industrial chain.

The large AI model serves not only individual enterprises but also aims to build an open and shared ecosystem. This lays a solid foundation for collaborative innovation and the development of a smart energy ecosystem across the power generation industry's upstream and downstream sectors.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that Ukraine stands ready to agree to security guarantees based on NATO's Article 5 as part of a compromise in the peace process, according to media reports.

"From the very beginning, Ukraine's desire was to join NATO, these are real security guarantees. Some partners from the United States and Europe did not support this direction," the Ukrinform news agency quoted Zelensky.

Zelensky said Article 5-like guarantees from the United States and from European partners, as well as from other countries, "would provide an opportunity to prevent another arrival of Russian troops." He also called it "a compromise on our part."

Zelensky said he was not yet ready to disclose specific details of the proposed security guarantees, saying they would be known in a day or two.

Ukrainian president arrived in Berlin on Sunday afternoon for talks with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other European leaders.

German newspaper Bild reported that Zelensky may also hold talks with representatives of U.S. President Donald Trump, but did not elaborate further.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky said the same day that Ukraine must be prepared for any possible developments regarding elections.

"I asked our partners to assist with the security situation if elections are held, and I said that lawmakers should prepare options for how this could be implemented if the situation develops in that direction. They should work out, in the near future, options for holding elections," he said in a statement in response to journalists' questions.

He said he had received "signals" from the United States and President Trump regarding Ukraine's presidential election.
