"QingYuan" LLM — World's First 100B-Parameter Power Generation AI Foundation
In 2024, China Energy Investment Corporation released the world's first 100-billion-parameter AI LLM for the power generation industry — "QingYuan." Trained on decades of massive power generation operational data, the model covers thermal, hydro, wind, and solar power generation.
"QingYuan" delivers core capabilities in equipment fault prediction and diagnosis, combustion optimization, real-time carbon emission monitoring, and economic unit operation. In deployments, it reduced coal consumption by ~2g/kWh, decreased unplanned outages by over 30%, saving hundreds of millions annually.
"QingYuan" adopts a "foundation model + industry fine-tuning" pathway, enabling rapid cross-plant deployment and lowering AI adoption barriers.

"DaWaTe" & Embodied Robots — Brain + Body Collaboration
China Southern Power Grid released "DaWaTe" AI LLM, the power industry's first full-stack domestically controlled AI infrastructure platform. Covering power dispatch, equipment maintenance, and customer service, it provides a unified AI capability foundation.
Deeply coordinated with "DaWaTe" are self-developed embodied manipulation robot systems. These robots perform high-risk tasks such as substation switching operations, breaker operations, and relay plate insertion/removal.
Each robot integrates multimodal visual models, natural language instruction understanding, and 7-axis robotic arm precision control — forming a "DaWaTe brain commands, robot body executes" collaborative architecture.
"GuangMing" LLM x "TianShu" Robot Dogs — Cloud-Edge Collaborative Inspection
State Grid's "GuangMing" LLM is China's first AI LLM covering the full spectrum of power business scenarios. It excels in power knowledge Q&A, dispatch decision assistance, equipment defect grading, and maintenance strategy recommendation.
Forming a "cloud-edge" synergy with "GuangMing" is the "TianShu" series quadruped robot dogs. These dogs autonomously traverse complex terrain, equipped with IR cameras, ultrasonic PD detectors, and gas sensors for full-coverage inspection.
"GuangMing" LLM provides real-time decision inference for "TianShu" — when a robot dog detects abnormal equipment heating, the cloud model immediately determines the defect grade.
The robot dog performs real-time obstacle avoidance and path planning locally, while critical inference relies on the cloud model.
The Power Industry's First Brain-Inspired Computing Platform
The power industry has built its first brain-inspired AI computing platform using neuromorphic chips and spiking neural networks, achieving accuracy comparable to deep learning while consuming only 1% of traditional GPU power.
This is transformative for the industry — substations and transmission towers face power supply and heat dissipation challenges. The brain-inspired platform enables high-performance AI inference locally on low-power embedded devices.
The platform has been deployed in partial discharge detection and transformer acoustic analysis at multiple substations.
