The project won the Grand Prize in the national finals and was selected as a "2025 National Artificial Intelligence Application Scenario Exemplary Case."

MiningLamp Technology (2718.HK), founded in 2006, is a pioneer in China's enterprise-level large language models and data intelligence sector. The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 2025 (stock code: 2718.HK), adhering to the core philosophy of "data-driven trustworthy productivity." It continues to innovate in cutting-edge technologies such as Agentic AI, VLA models, and multimodal large models. Its latest self-developed Mano model has achieved SOTA (state-of-the-art) performance in authoritative international benchmarks such as OSWorld and Mind2Web. In the general large model category, Mano's comprehensive performance ranks second only to Claude-Sonnet-4.5, gaining recognition from both academia and industry.

Wu Minghui, Founder, CEO, and CTO of MiningLamp Technology (2718.HK), introduced that in response to the current global trend of brand "going global," MiningLamp Technology's intelligent platform for brand globalization creative generation and emotional connection based on multimodal large models addresses core challenges faced during brand globalization—cultural differences, content localization, and data-driven decision-making. The platform innovatively integrates four core technological capabilities: "Global Multimodal Content Asset Library + Trustworthy Data Collection Technology + Subjective Emotional Perception Analysis + Video Generation Technology," empowering enterprises to conduct scientific and efficient cross-cultural content creation, emotional assessment, and intelligent decision-making.

1. Global Multimodal Content Asset Library

The platform has built a multimodal content asset library covering major global markets, integrating various media forms such as video, images, and text. This provides a rich material foundation for cross-cultural content creation, helping enterprises quickly generate creative content that aligns with target market cultural characteristics and consumer preferences, significantly reducing content localization costs.

2. Trustworthy Data Collection Technology—"Dexterous Hand" Mano

The platform employs MiningLamp Technology's (2718.HK) self-developed AI dexterous hand model Mano, which can operate in various browser environments, simulating human visual perception to accurately identify any software interface elements, "seeing" and "clicking" like a human. Combined with Mano-Parking web data collection technology, users only need to input a URL and requirement description, and the platform can complete professional-grade data collection. This means enterprises can obtain authentic and effective global multi-source data more quickly, laying a solid foundation for market analysis.

• Ranked first in the specialized model category of the OSWorld authoritative benchmark test
• In the general large model category, comprehensive performance is slightly behind Anthropic's Claude-Sonnet-4.5, ranking second
• Also achieved SOTA (state-of-the-art) results in the Mind2Web benchmark test
• 7B parameter version supports private deployment, meeting security requirements for enterprise-level applications

3. Subjective Emotional Perception Analysis—HMLLM Multimodal Large Model

The platform employs MiningLamp Technology's (2718.HK) self-developed Hypergraph Multimodal Large Language Model (HMLLM), a globally innovative emotional analysis large model that can simulate the subjective feelings of target audiences from different cultural backgrounds, ages, and genders when viewing advertising content. This helps enterprises quickly assess emotional responses from audiences of different cultural backgrounds before content distribution, avoiding cultural misunderstandings and marketing mistakes, significantly improving the precision of cross-cultural marketing.
