Trio AI Establishes Partnership Ecosystem for Artificial Intelligence Super Computing (AISC)

HONG KONG, Dec 20, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) -Trio AI Limited (“Trio AI”), an artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure service provider in Asia with a computing power of more than 1,000 GPUs, is enhancing the regional technology applications and ecosystem. 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 Research1, the global GPU market size was valued at US$33.47 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach US$477.37 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 33.3% from 2022 to 2030, demonstrating strong market expansion.

On 11 December 2024, Dr. David Chung, Chief Executive Officer, Trio AI, and Mr. Dennis Chung, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing & Solutions Consulting, Commercial Group, HKT, signed the MOU, in the witness of Mr. Chow Kok Kit, Executive Director, Valuetronics Holdings Ltd., 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.

Dr. David Chung, Chief Executive Officer, Trio AI, said, "Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize all industries, driving unprecedented innovation, efficiency, and growth. From logistics to creative, healthcare to finance, manufacturing to retail, AI is empowering businesses to solve complex problems, optimize operations, and unlock new opportunities. On 23 August, we launched the first 1,000-GPU cluster in Hong Kong, and we plan to continue increasing our investment, with the capability to expand to over 10,000 GPUs in the future. We would like to express our gratitude

to HKT for their support in establishing this strategic partnership, and we look forward to more milestones in AI together with our partners, driving technological innovation in Hong Kong.”

Mr. Steve Ng, Managing Director, Commercial Group, HKT, said, "As a trusted enterprise technology solutions enabler, HKT is committed to harnessing the potential of enterprise AI and accelerating its adoption among businesses in the Greater Bay Area. Our strategic partnership with Trio AI expands access to HPC services for a broader range of enterprises and institutions, addressing the increasing need for supercomputing capabilities driven by AI, while fostering innovation and improving operational efficiency across various sectors. Powered by HKT’s AI Superhighway, we provide ultra-high-speed2 and ultra-low-latency3 connectivity, linking Trio AI’s 1024-GPU cluster with enterprise and institutional data centers across the city."

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, utilizing 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 utilizes high-performance computing (HPC) systems with multiple powerful processors working in parallel. This dramatically enhances computational power, enablingadvanced 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 customized 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.

Dr. David Chung, Chief Executive Officer, Trio AI, said, " In November, we established the AI Application R&D Center at Hong Kong Cyberport to promote the in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research. By combining AI with the digital world, it creates an advanced accelerated computing platform. In this rapidly changing era, Hong Kong's strategic position enables us to efficiently support various clients and projects, achieving effective and unified deployment of multiple large model algorithms across diverse chips, providing ample computing resources for more AI enterprises.

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.
