AI Flow is a multidisciplinary framework proposed by China Telecom Artificial Intelligence Research Institute on June 14, 2025, which aims to solve the challenges of large-scale artificial intelligence models in terms of resource consumption and communication bandwidth. The relevant paper results are "AI Flow: Perspectives, Scenarios, and Approaches".

AI Flow integrates the cutting-edge progress in the fields of IT and CT, with its core focusing on three key points: device-edge-cloud collaborative architecture, family model, and intelligent emergence based on connection and interaction. Its innovation lies in bringing greater intelligence, more timely responsiveness, and wider accessibility to AI services, paving the way for the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology and communication systems.
