Targeting emerging industries such as AI, Shanghai is intensifying efforts to build an open source ecosystem

On January 13th, the second Open Source Industry Ecology Conference was held in Shanghai. The reporter learned from the meeting that currently, the number of open source developers in Shanghai exceeds one million, ranking second in the country. Next, Shanghai will support hardcore open source projects in key areas such as artificial intelligence and critical software. Qiu Wei, Chief Engineer of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, revealed that open source is no longer just a simple code sharing, but a new production method of open collaboration, gradually expanding and evolving into specific fields of the economy and society, becoming an important way to achieve technological breakthroughs and participate in global scientific and technological innovation. Shanghai will support the flourishing and sustainable development of hard open source projects in key fields such as artificial intelligence and critical software, and support long-term contributions to global open source rules and standards, driving the transformation of Shanghai and even the whole country from a user ecosystem to a dominant ecosystem. Chen Qiyan, founder of Shanghai Daoke Network Technology Co., Ltd., believes that currently 95% of software in the AI field is open source software, and this proportion is still growing. Meanwhile, in terms of code contribution, China is already the world's second largest contributor to open source, and its voice is constantly rising. Some technology "chain owners" are also actively developing open source ecosystems. Yang Jian, Chairman of the Shanghai Open Source Information Technology Association and co-founder of Muxi Corporation, stated that Muxi hopes to create a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) ecosystem similar to the Android ecosystem to promote the prosperity of the industry ecosystem. At present, Muxi has launched 96 models in the open source community, and in the future, Muxi's independently developed ecosystem will gradually become open source. In addition, Muxi plans to develop 50 strategic partner companies and collaborate with 500 universities and research institutions, ultimately forming a community of 3 million AI developers. Hu Kuang, the ecological director of Zhiyuan Robotics, stated that Zhiyuan Robotics has previously collaborated with multiple institutions such as Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to release AgiBot World, an open-source dataset of millions of real machines with full domain real-world scenarios, which has been widely praised in the international open source community. In addition, Zhiyuan Robotics has also released the base model "Zhiyuan Qiyuan Big Model" and the open-source development framework AimRT, and continues to build an ecological community based on this, providing rich tools and collaborating with domestic and foreign technology communities and ecological partners to form a network of industry university research cooperation. Regarding the new trends in China's open source ecosystem, Cheng Chen, the technical operations manager of the open source technology community Moda Community, stated that with the release of Deepseek and Qwen open source models in 2025, Chinese models will be widely discussed globally, and open source and closed source models will be in a spiral of competition. Since 2025, many VLA (Visual Language Action) models and robotic arm trajectory data related to embodied intelligence have been uploaded to the open source community. It is expected that open source embodied intelligence models and data standards will be developed by 2026. Foreign enterprise cases have shown that enterprise AI or intelligent agents based on open source data and reinforcement learning perform as accurately as top tier models, but can reduce costs by 90%. It is expected that by 2026, China's enterprise AI will develop rapidly, and every enterprise can develop and customize their own enterprise AI based on the open source ecosystem
