XtalPi Chief R&D Scientist Ming-Jun Yang (front row, first from the left) and Fangda Carbon Board Secretary Xiao-Ru Zhuang (front row, first from the right) signed on behalf of the two companies.
At the signing ceremony, Wen Shuhao, Chairman of the Board of XtalPi, Yang Mingjun, Chief R&D Scientist, Ma Zhuo, Vice President of Liaoning Fangda Group and Chairman of Fangda Carbon, Zhuang Xiaoru, Secretary of the Board of Fangda Carbon, Wang Shu, General Manager of Chengdu Carbon Materials, and Feng Jiamin, General Manager of Chengdu Fangda Carbon Research Institute, were all in attendance.According to the agreement, the two parties will focus on deep cooperation in the carbon materials field. Relying on XtalPi's core technological advantages in artificial intelligence, robotic automation experiments, and quantum chemistry calculations, combined with Fangda Carbon’s extensive experience in the research and development, large-scale production, and market application of carbon-based new materials, they will jointly promote the intelligent R&D of high-performance carbon-based materials, optimize production processes, and upgrade smart manufacturing. By building a vertical large model, the two companies will work together to create an "AI + robotics super-intelligent entity" in the new materials field, continuously driving industry innovation and paradigm upgrades, achieving technological breakthroughs and industrial implementation in the new energy and new materials sectors. Meanwhile, the two parties will jointly establish the "XtalPi-Fangda Carbon Intelligent Research Institute," form a research and development committee, and set up a special talent fund to attract global top talents and jointly cultivate a new generation of AI material R&D technical backbone.This "AI + Industry" collaboration mainly focuses on three core objectives, jointly accelerating the industrial implementation and commercial promotion of new technologies, new processes, and new products:First, improve the mass production efficiency of high-end carbon-based materials. Develop high-performance silicon-carbon composite materials and graphene application solutions based on materials genome engineering and AI algorithms, covering diversified application scenarios such as lithium batteries and soil remediation. Optimize synthesis processes and achieve automated precision construction to promote the R&D and mass production efficiency of new materials.Second, build an "AI + Industry" super intelligence. By leveraging technologies such as digital twins, artificial intelligence, and robotics, create a full-process intelligent management system covering material R&D, monitoring, and production, comprehensively promoting technological breakthroughs, smart manufacturing, and automation upgrades for carbon-based materials.Third, build technical assets and a supercomputing power platform. Accumulate over a hundred AI algorithm models in key scenarios such as material design and process optimization, and establish a million-core level computing power resource scheduling platform to support China's vertical industry super artificial intelligence efforts in new materials and new energy fields.XtalPi Holdings Limited Chairman Wen Shuhao said：“This collaboration marks an important milestone for XtalPi in implementing the 'AI for Science' philosophy. By deeply integrating artificial intelligence with quantum physics simulation technology, we will help Fangda Carbon overcome efficiency bottlenecks in material research and mass production, providing foundational technical support for national strategic industries such as new energy and advanced materials. This is not only a case of collaborative innovation between enterprises but also a vivid practice of implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence+' national strategy. We look forward to driving the transformation of traditional industries towards intelligence and green development through technological empowerment, contributing corporate strength to achieve self-reliance and strength in science and technology.”Fangda Carbon Chairman Ma Zhuo said"This collaboration marks the deep integration of traditional manufacturing with artificial intelligence technology, providing an important demonstration for technological innovation and industrial upgrading in China's new materials industry. Over the next three years, Fangda Carbon plans to invest one billion yuan in innovation funds to systematically strengthen its technological advantages in the research and production of new materials. The partnership with XtalPi is a key component of this strategy. Through the deep application of 'AI + Industry,' Fangda Carbon is expected to significantly improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and drive the industry towards high-end and intelligent development."This collaboration is another typical case of deep cooperation between traditional manufacturing and artificial intelligence enterprises after the introduction of the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Deep Integration of Artificial Intelligence and the Real Economy" by the state. Industry insiders predict that with the continuous maturation of artificial intelligence technology, the application scenarios of "AI + Industry" will further expand, potentially forming a market scale of hundreds of billions within the next 3-5 years.● About Fangda Carbon ●
