In a groundbreaking move, Chinese company Kylinsoft launched its first homegrown Kylin operating system for personal computers (PC) integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) on Thursday. This marks the first AI-powered PC operating system released in the country.
The AIPC version of the Kylin operating system was unveiled at the 2024 China Operating System Industry Conference held in Beijing. This launch bridges a significant gap in the development of edge-side inference capabilities within China's operating system industry.
An operating system serves as the foundation of a computer, linking upper-level software ecosystems with underlying hardware resources and providing essential support for running AI algorithms, models, and applications.
A major highlight of the AIPC version of the Kylin operating system is its edge-side inference capability. This feature allows for deep integration of hardware and software, enabling users to run complex AI tasks locally without relying on cloud resources. This advancement not only boosts data processing speed and security but also fundamentally transforms the way users interact with computers.
