Baidu AI Cloud Education China Translated from Chinese

Xiamen University (厦门大学)

Xiamen University wanted a practical way to teach future public-governance professionals how to use and evaluate generative AI, but needed a hands-on environment that could connect theory, prompt design, agent building, and model experimentation for non-computer-science students.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Xiamen University created a more practical AI-governance curriculum, giving students real model experience and helping the university train interdisciplinary public-governance talent for AI-era service and policy work.

Solution

Xiamen University worked with Zhongshu Information Technology and Baidu AI Cloud to build a digital teaching platform for 'AI + public governance.' The platform combines theory modules with hands-on labs so students can move from AI literacy into real model practice instead of learning concepts only from lectures. Baidu contributed the Qianfan Lite platform and Speed model as the technical base of the practical module, allowing faculty and students to work in an authentic large-model environment where they can train models, design prompts, build AI agents, and perform personalized fine-tuning. The broader teaching architecture is designed for public-governance education rather than computer-science specialization: it focuses on responsible AI use, real governance scenarios, and the interdisciplinary skills needed to apply AI in policy and public-service work. That turns the platform into both a teaching tool and a talent-development pipeline for AI-enabled governance.

Data flow

Students and faculty move from theory modules into practice modules that use Qianfan Lite and the Speed model for prompt engineering, model training, agent creation, and fine-tuning exercises. The outputs feed back into public-governance teaching scenarios so AI experimentation stays linked to real policy and service problems.

  1. Compute
    • Qianfan Lite Platform Provides the practical large-model environment used in labs and student exercises.
  2. Serving
    • AI + Public Governance Digital Teaching Platform Organizes the curriculum and hands-on workflows that connect AI concepts to public-governance practice.
    • Speed Model Supplies the model capability students use for prompt engineering, agent creation, and fine-tuning practice.

Architecture clues

  • Hands-on capabilities include prompt engineering, agent creation, and personalized fine-tuning in a real model environment.
  • The platform is aimed at public-governance students rather than technical AI specialists only.
  • The teaching design explicitly separates theory and practice modules but runs them on one platform.
