Trio AI establishes partnership ecosystem for AISC

Trio AI recently announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with HKT Limited (HKT) to explore opportunities in the Artificial Intelligence Super Computing (AISC) solution through their combined business networks and expertise. In addition, Trio AI is collaborating with METAX to leverage AI computing resources supported by METAX chips, introducing more diverse cloud services. This collaboration aims to help enterprises unleash their full potential during digital transformation, marking a significant step in advancing Hong Kong as an International Innovation and Technology (I&T) hub, providing computing power solution for large model training.

In the rapidly evolving AI landscape, GPUs, which are key components of parallel computing, are experiencing significant market growth. According to Verified Market Research[1], the global GPU market size was valued at $33.47 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $477.37 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 33.3% from 2022 to 2030, demonstrating strong market expansion.

On 11th December 2024, Dr. David Chung, Chief Executive Officer, Trio AI, and Mr. Dennis Chung, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Solutions Consulting, Commercial Group, HKT, signed the MOU, in the witness of Mr. Chow Kok Kit, Executive Director, Valuetronics Holdings, and Mr. Steve Ng, Managing Director, Commercial Group, HKT. This agreement establishes a collaborative framework to explore the opportunities to resell, market and promote the AISC solution in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and Southeast Asia.

Exploring AISC opportunities in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and Southeast Asia

Over the next two years, Trio AI and HKT will work closely together to identify, develop, and implement go-to-market strategies for the AISC solution. This collaboration will also focus on multi- brand GPU management and AI professional services, utilissing Trio AI's AIDC platform management software alongside its AI professional services team to deliver high-quality AI solutions and operational experiences to customers. Furthermore, both parties will explore ways to leverage Trio AI’s AI computing power and servers, providing high-quality AI computing resources for Hong Kong customers. Through this collaboration with HKT, a market-leading digital transformation partner offering end-to-end enterprise solutions, connectivity, and smart living offerings, Trio AI will gain greater brand recognition and expand the accessibility of its AISC solution to a broader range of enterprises, thereby strengthening its foothold in the industry.

Enhancing computational power to support wider range of applications

Compared to regular AI, AISC utilises high-performance computing (HPC) systems with multiple powerful processors working in parallel. This dramatically enhances computational power, enabling advanced simulations and predictive analytics across various fields, such as research and industries requiring intensive computational resources. While regular AI focuses on performing intelligent tasks on a smaller scale, AISC leverages supercomputing to enhance AI capabilities, allowing for the processing of larger datasets and solving more complex problems efficiently.

Collaborating with METAX to build Hong Kong 1st domestic high-performance 1,000-GPU cluster, supporting businesses in global expansion

In addition, Trio AI is deepening its collaboration with METAX by leveraging AI computing resources supported by METAX chips, significantly enhancing AI infrastructure services. This aligns with the Hong Kong government's strategic direction for AI and serves local enterprises while also helping domestic companies leverage Hong Kong as a gateway to expand into countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The three key elements of AI are computing power, algorithms, and data. Trio AI is building and managing proprietary GPU computing power clusters, providing access to a diverse range of scalable GPU cluster, with the capacity expanding up to 10,000 GPUs, through customised deployment and on demand services. Trio AI will offer AI platform services, including essential value-added services such as model-as-a-service and data pools for development, to comprehensively support the integration of AI applications for businesses of all sizes.

We are not only collaborating on new technology with METAX but also leading transformation and reshaping the future of the industry. We aim to provide professional, independent, and innovative services to enterprises in mainland China, the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong, and across Asia, helping clients grow and facilitating intelligent transformation. This collaboration will greatly facilitate access to AI computing resources for enterprises, making cutting-edge technology services more accessible. We hope this collaboration sets a benchmark in the industry, inspiring more companies to accelerate their digital and intelligent transformations and create endless possibilities together."

Accelerating digital transformation with AI: expert insights on AI opportunities for Hong Kong customers

Following the signing ceremony, a panel discussion was held on “Unlocking the Value of AI Computing Power and Solutions to Empower Hong Kong Customers.” Representatives from Trio AI’s trusted partners including Votee AI, Wintoo and Yedpay shared valuable insights on the future of digital transformation for Hong Kong customers, emphasising the importance of adopting AI technologies to strategise and streamline operations and enhance customer engagement.
