Shanghai municipal government office issued the city’s Strategic Emerging Industries "15th Five-Year" development plan, directing accelerated R&D and commercialization of edge AI chips, next‑generation displays and flexible‑material sensors. The plan prioritizes technology iterations including MicroLED, optical waveguide lenses and high‑performance rendering engines; mandates development of lightweight, multimodal edge vertical models and model‑compression algorithms to enable edge model performance broadly comparable with cloud‑based large models. It also targets AI consumer terminals—AI PCs, AI phones, AI glasses, bionic robots and smart wearables—and supports a "product design + standard parts assembly" manufacturing model.
