Recently, China's open-source artificial intelligence large model "Mazu" has achieved significant application results globally, especially showing remarkable performance during the monsoon season in Pakistan. With this advanced technology, the meteorological department of Pakistan is able to capture monsoon signals in advance and quickly issue weather warnings, ensuring the safety of the public. This achievement is backed by the "China Plan for Universal Early Warning" announced by the China Meteorological Administration at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Its core goal is to establish a global early warning service network, sharing China's experience and technology in meteorological disaster prevention.

The name "Mazu" originates from China's coastal areas, symbolizing a protector of the ocean and weather. Its English acronym MAZU embodies the concepts of multi-hazard (Multi-hazard), alert (Alert), zero-gap (Zero-gap), and universal (Universal), demonstrating its comprehensiveness and advancement in weather warnings.

In addition to its application in Pakistan, China has also carried out related cooperation in Zimbabwe. The newly built supercomputing center, aided by the Chinese government, was connected to 15 universities within less than a year, greatly improving research computing speed. A drought early warning model successfully helped improve water resource utilization. These efforts mark that China not only achieves technological breakthroughs but also provides opportunities for other countries to bridge the technological gap.

As of now, the download volume of China's open-source large model has exceeded 10 billion times, ranking first globally. Since it first topped the charts in August 2024, its development speed has shown exponential growth, with the number of derivative models of a single model exceeding 200,000. This phenomenon not only reflects the advancement of the technology but also demonstrates China's strong influence in the global artificial intelligence field.

Gan Xiaobin, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, stated that the country will continue to uphold the spirit of open and win-win cooperation, striving to promote a diverse and open innovation ecosystem, ensuring the inclusiveness and accessibility of artificial intelligence technology. This is not only a measure to enhance technological level but also an important part of global governance actions.
