iFLYTEK Opens Hong Kong Office and Launches New Products for Hong Kong, Macao, and International Markets

On June 24, iFLYTEK held a dual event at Hong Kong’s Cyberport—showcasing its latest AI-powered medical technology solutions and celebrating the grand opening of its Hong Kong office. Designed for the multilingual markets of Hong Kong and Macao—where Mandarin, Cantonese, and English are widely used—iFLYTEK introduced a suite of AI-powered products spanning healthcare, education, meetings, and office productivity. These innovations are built on the company’s proprietary iFLYTEK Spark Large Model platform. The event also featured the official launch of iFLYTEK (International) Limited and a strategic partnership signing ceremony with The University of Hong Kong. This milestone marks iFLYTEK’s strategic pivot toward global expansion, with Hong Kong serving as its key international hub—or "bridgehead"—to accelerate its worldwide deployment in the era of General Artificial Intelligence (GAI).

iFLYTEK Launches Spark Medical Large Model V2.5 International Edition and Hong Kong-Specific "XiaoYi" Medical App

At the event, Tao Xiaodong, President of Xunfei Healthcare, unveiled two major offerings: the Spark Medical Large Model V2.5 International Edition and an upgraded version of the iFLYTEK XiaoYi medical application featuring dedicated Hong Kong localization. This launch follows significant milestones for Xunfei Healthcare. In November 2024, the Hong Kong SAR Government's Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) recognized the company as a "Key Enterprise Partner." The subsequent month marked another achievement as Xunfei Healthcare became the first HKEX Main Board-listed company in the "Medical Large Models" category. 

Building upon its series of core technological advancements, Tao Xiaodong announced the launch of the Spark Medical Large Model V2.5 International Edition. Leveraging its unique data flywheel effect and advanced long-chain reasoning capabilities, this upgraded AI system demonstrates significant expansion in specialized medical domains. The model now achieves diagnostic and treatment standards comparable to attending physicians in tertiary hospitals across key clinical scenarios including cardiology, pediatrics, and pulmonology. Its performance excels in critical dimensions such as diagnostic completeness, practical applicability, and clinical interpretability. Specifically designed for global deployment, the system supports Hong Kong's bilingual (Chinese-English) and trilingual (Cantonese-Mandarin-English) linguistic environments. This localization capability establishes the model as a foundational AI platform capable of serving international metropolises like Hong Kong with regionally adapted medical intelligence solutions.

At the same event, Tao Xiaodong introduced an upgraded version of the iFLYTEK XiaoYi app, designed specifically for individual (C-end) users. The enhanced app now covers 1,600+ diseases, 2,000+ symptoms, and 50,000+ medications, significantly expanding its scope for common health concerns. Key performance metrics—including consultation appropriateness, medication inquiry accuracy, and physical examination report analysis—have all improved substantially. The system can accurately recognize 98% of mainstream medical report formats and achieves a 97% recognition rate in medical OCR tasks. It also integrates data from health platforms and hardware devices to generate personalized health profiles and risk assessments. For patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension and hyperglycemia, XiaoYi can automatically track key health indicators, intelligently assess the risk of heart and kidney damage, and provide actionable improvement recommendations—supporting early screening, prevention, and intervention.

For users in Hong Kong, Xunfei Healthcare has launched a localized version of its XiaoYi app—powered by the Spark Medical Large Model V2.5 International Version. This Hong Kong edition offers bilingual (Cantonese and English) health and medication consultation services, along with practical features tailored to the daily healthcare needs of local residents. Key functions include symptom self-assessment, medication information lookup, TCM syndrome differentiation, and personal health history management.

"AI-Savvy + Education-Expert + Cantonese-Fluent"

Empowering Hong Kong Schools with Next-Gen Smart Classroom Experiences

At the event, Yan Qingxi, Regional Director of iFLYTEK Hong Kong and Macao, unveiled the company's next-generation AI Blackboard and "Fluent Mandarin" application. Having been implemented in numerous schools across mainland China, the iFLYTEK AI Blackboard has accumulated extensive practical experience, transforming traditional chalkboards into AI-powered teaching assistants that help educators enhance classroom instruction quality. 

"How can we make traditional blackboards more intuitive? How can solid geometry be presented more vividly? How can classrooms become more efficient?" Yan explained. The Hong Kong version of the AI Blackboard features a traditional Chinese interface and integrates subject-specific tools for Chinese, Mathematics, and English. With functions like one-tap handwriting optimization and 3D geometric modeling, along with a smart pen that combines writing, voice input, and erasing capabilities, it serves as a super assistant for teachers. The system also includes virtual characters like "Zhuge Liang" and "Einstein", which can interact with students in multiple languages to spark curiosity and boost classroom engagement. Behind this innovation lies iFLYTEK's 21 years of dedicated research in education technology. Its smart education solutions have now been adopted across 83 regions, 50,000 schools, serving 130 million teachers and students nationwide.

The newly launched "Fluent Mandarin" application features a Traditional Chinese interface, serving both as a classroom learning tool and personal language companion for Hong Kong residents. Available for free download on both iOS and Android platforms, the app offers universal accessibility. This application utilizes the same core speech evaluation technology powering mainland China's "Changyan Mandarin" app, which has served over 13 million users. The technology also drives China's National Mandarin Intelligent Assessment System - the country's sole machine-based Mandarin testing platform officially recognized since iFLYTEK's development of the system in 2007. To date, this platform has conducted more than 130 million assessments, with iFLYTEK remaining the nation's exclusive provider of automated Mandarin testing services.

iFLYTEK has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The University of Hong Kong (HKU) to jointly advance artificial intelligence technologies and foster a robust AI industry ecosystem on a global scale. As a world-leading institution ranked 11th in the latest QS World University Rankings, HKU brings exceptional academic excellence to this collaboration. Its Faculty of Engineering - particularly the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering - has been pioneering the development of the iClass AI teaching platform, which has seen widespread adoption across Hong Kong's primary and secondary schools. The partnership will initially concentrate on co-developing core technologies including Mandarin proficiency assessment, automated grading systems, and local language recognition capabilities. The collaboration will further expand into innovative domains such as AI-powered sports technology and talent development initiatives. This strategic alliance aims to deeply integrate AI solutions into Hong Kong's educational landscape, accelerating the city's transformation into an "International Education Hub" through cutting-edge technological applications.
