en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nanjing Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (NISCO) held the "Yuan·Ye" Ecological Intelligent Innovation Development Conference in Nanjing, Jiangsu, on June 25, 2026, unveiling five core digital intelligence achievements: the capabilities and outcomes of the YuanYe Steel Large Model, the YuanYe Intelligent Community, an industry AI evaluation system, a trusted data space platform for the steel industry with initial scenarios, and the launch of the Jiangsu Provincial Science Data Center's Special Steel New Materials Sub-center. Academician Zhou Zhihua of the Chinese Academy of Sciences delivered a keynote speech, with in-depth exchanges involving partners such as Huawei and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Nanjing, Jiangsu, NISCO is one of China's large-scale integrated steel enterprises, with an annual production capacity of tens of millions of tons of steel. Its products are widely used in automotive, shipbuilding, energy, construction, and other sectors. In recent years, NISCO has steadily advanced its digital transformation, jointly developing the "YuanYe" large model architecture with Huawei, achieving a leap from technological exploration to practical validation.
According to NISCO, in terms of large model capabilities and outcomes, the company has released 25 core business agents covering key scenarios across the entire R&D, production, sales, and management process, and deployed over 200 lightweight AI applications, fostering an AI-inclusive landscape where "everyone is a protagonist." The concurrently released "Steel Industry Large Model Evaluation System" establishes standards across multiple dimensions, including performance, security, compliance, and scenario adaptability. Both the NISCO YuanYe Language Large Model and the YuanYe Vision Large Model have been rated at the highest evaluation level for steel industry large models—Level 5. These five achievements, spanning core algorithms, data spaces, evaluation standards, and research platforms, aim to address pain points of "unstable foundations" and "data silos" in AI deployment, collectively building a complete steel intelligent ecosystem infrastructure system.
Fu Yongbao, Second-Level Inspector of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, fully affirmed NISCO's practical achievements in the field of "Artificial Intelligence + Manufacturing," noting that NISCO is a benchmark enterprise implementing the "AI+" initiative nationwide. Li Yiren, Vice President of the China Iron and Steel Association, stated that AI is reshaping global industrial patterns through disruptive innovation, and NISCO's continuous efforts to deeply integrate data intelligence have set a benchmark for the digital and intelligent transformation of the national steel industry.
This conference marks the official entry of NISCO's intelligent development into a new phase driven by ecological collaboration as a core force. Huang Yixin, Chairman of NISCO, stated that the intelligent transformation of the steel industry is never a single-point breakthrough technology competition but a systematic project requiring cross-sector collaboration and full-chain linkage. NISCO will continue to deepen collaborative innovation with all partners.
