The Wireless Revolution of AI Intelligent Imaging Under the Computing Power Wave | 2026 AI Partner · Beijing Yizhuang AI+ Industry Conference
Shenmou, led by Yang Zuoxing, is developing ultra-low-power chip designs to free cameras from wires, envisioning a future with billions of smart visual terminals. Their first-generation chip achieves one-third the industry's power consumption, while the second generation reaches one-tenth, enabling all-weather smart cameras powered by a single watt of solar energy. Yang predicts a massive increase in camera demand, from hundreds of millions annually to potentially 100 billion by 2045, to feed real-time data into world-scale AI models. AI
IMPACT Enables massive scaling of real-world data input for AI models, potentially reducing hardware costs and expanding AI applications.
