During the 2024 China Operating System Industry Conference in Beijing, Kylinsoft, a Chinese company, made a significant launch by introducing the first AI-based PC version of its Kylin operating system.
This advancement addresses a gap in edge-side inference capabilities within China’s operating system industry. In 2023, the platform software market in China experienced rapid growth, with its scale increasing by 17.4% compared to the previous year, reaching 81.66 billion yuan .“The growth in the operating system market is largely driven by server operating systems. This is due in part to the increasing demand from industry-wide digital transformation, and in part to the additional demand generated by the expansion of AI servers,” said Gao Dan, assistant president with the CCID Consulting Co., Ltd.
Zhu Chen, the vice general manager of Kylinsoft, emphasized the importance of enhancing edge-side inference capabilities to integrate in-house operating systems with AI technology effectively.
