The industrial output of Beijing's AI sector is expected to top 450 billion yuan ($63.6 billion) by the end of this year, a new white paper on the industry revealed on Saturday.

In the first half of 2025, the figure reached 215.22 billion yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of 25.3 percent.

To date, Beijing is home to over 2,500 AI enterprises and has seen 183 registered large models, maintaining its leading national position.

The industry chain is becoming increasingly complete, forming a globally competitive industrial ecosystem, the white paper said.

The AI for Science Institute in Beijing launched Bohrium this year, which self-proclaims to be the world's first AI research platform that covers the entire process from literature review to computation, experimentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Meanwhile, commercialization paths are becoming clearer in the capital, with companies like Baidu and Douyin reaching record highs in revenue and active user numbers.

The Beijing Science & Technology Commission and the Administrative Commission of Zhongguancun Science Park jointly released the white paper.
