China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), one of the country's three biggest oil companies, said Thursday it has released the petrochemical industry's first industrial intelligent agent capable of directly participating in production operations.
The AI agent, "Fenghuo," is designed to analyze production data, invoke industrial software, and produce research and engineering outputs as a digital colleague during production.
According to the company, Fenghuo will be used to expand AI applications and support iterative upgrades across the petrochemical value chain, including operational and engineering workflows.

International media on Saturday and Sunday visited the core disaster area of mudslide-hit Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
The reporters from the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Brazil among other countries and regions visited the area and learned about the disaster situation, ongoing rescue operations, and progress in recovery and reconstruction.
"China has this particular the capacity to address this kind of crisis. You have thousands of workers trained for this and you have machines made for this kind of efforts. And of course, our heart goes to them for the kind of work they are putting," said KJM Varma Mokanda, a reporter from Press Trust of India.
The mudslide, triggered by a high-altitude glacier collapse in Nepal on Aug 26, had left 43 people dead and 519 others missing at the border port as of 18:00 Saturday, the emergency response and rescue headquarters told a press conference on Sunday.
As of 18:00 Saturday, more than 2,500 people and over 500 vehicles had been deployed for the rescue, and more than 1,000 flights of drones had air-dropped 5.43 tons of supplies, officials said at the press conference.
