SHANGHAI: Inside Yahui Industrial Park in Cheng’an county of Handan, Hebei province, screens at Yuehui Network Technology display dramas created by a small team with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI).

Shen Yueyue, 27, is the company’s sole shareholder and single-handedly runs the firm. The team of four – Shen plus three employees – are producing an animated series to be distributed via TikTok in nine countries.

The bustling workspace is an example of the booming local small business economy. Shen uses AI to allow him to do multiple jobs, from managing the business to producing shows.

On Sept 18, Cheng’an issued Hebei province’s first county-level computing power voucher and a service platform for smaller businesses.

With the first tranche of vouchers – two million yuan – enterprises can offset their spending on computing services.

The platform automatically captures real-time computer usage data, enabling eligible companies to receive subsidies with no formal application procedure.

This helps them access computing power and train models effectively.

Tthe platform supports computing scheduling, agent integration and technical services. — China Daily/ANN
