Shuzi Information Technology (数资信息技术)

Marketing Personalization

Shuzi Information Technology wanted to bring multimodal and generative AI products into real business scenarios, but doing so required a scalable GPU foundation and lower-friction operations. Its cognitive-intelligence engine, virtual livestream platform, and short-video generation products needed stable cloud infrastructure that could support expansion without forcing the company to spend disproportionate time on IT management.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Alibaba Cloud gave Shuzi a practical cloud-native base for taking its multimodal AI stack into production across many industries. The company gained a lower-cost path to elastic infrastructure, a stable ACK-based GPU architecture for business expansion, and startup support that let it focus more attention on extending AI capabilities into market-facing products instead of building foundational infrastructure from scratch.

  • Cost Reduction
  • Scalability
  • Speed to Market

Solution

Shuzi uses Alibaba Cloud ECS and ACK as the infrastructure base for its AI-native product portfolio. The company's self-developed cognitive intelligence engine exposes AI capabilities through API and SDK layers, while interactive smart terminals, virtual livestream products, and short-video generation services are delivered on top of a cloud-native GPU architecture built with ACK. Running the workload on Alibaba Cloud lets the team keep the model and application framework unified while gaining elastic compute capacity, safer operations, and less time spent on foundational infrastructure work. The cloud architecture is not a single demo environment; it is the operating substrate for a broader AI product matrix that combines multimodal generation, small-sample learning, and large-model techniques so Shuzi can keep extending AI solutions into manufacturing, governance, culture, retail, and finance scenarios.

Data flow

Customer and scenario-specific inputs are routed into Shuzi's cognitive intelligence engine through APIs and SDKs, then processed on ECS and the ACK-based GPU platform to power interactive terminals, virtual livestream services, and short-video generation products. Those services are delivered back to partners in industry-specific applications while the same cloud stack scales and governs the underlying AI workloads.

Solution architecture

5 components · 3 layers
  1. Compute
    • Elastic Compute Service (ECS) Provides the reliable elastic cloud-host foundation for Shuzi's AI application stack.
  2. Serving
    • Cognitive intelligence engine platform Exposes the company's self-developed AI capabilities through reusable APIs and SDKs.
    • Virtual livestream platform Delivers one of the generative AI end products built on top of Shuzi's cognitive engine.
    • Short-video generation platform Turns the underlying AI stack into a production content-generation service for partner scenarios.
  3. Orchestration
    • Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) Runs the cloud-native GPU architecture that hosts Shuzi's AI products and helps them scale.

Architecture clues

  • ACK is specifically used to construct a GPU-based cloud-native architecture rather than only host generic web services.
  • Shuzi distributes AI capabilities through API and SDK access so partner applications can reuse the underlying model stack.
  • The product family is organized as a core cognitive engine plus multiple application products built on top of it.
  • The same cloud foundation supports multimodal generation, interactive terminals, virtual livestream, and short-video workloads.
