Sinlink Securities and Tencent Cloud Sign Full-Stack AI Strategic Cooperation; WorkBuddy Has Achieved the First Batch of VPC Deployments in the Securities Industry

On October 30, Sinolink Securities and Tencent Cloud officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, reaching a full-stack collaboration spanning AI strategy, frontier AI research, AI application scenarios, AI technology systems, and AI ecosystem building. Previously, WorkBuddy had already "joined" Sinolink Securities, accelerating its embedding into core business processes as one of the securities industry's first VPC deployments. Through this strategic cooperation, the two parties will take "securities + AI" as the main thread to further advance the implementation of AI across all scenarios, while accelerating the domestic innovation and upgrading of Sinolink Securities' core systems, advancing on a full-stack basis to create a new digital-intelligent benchmark for the securities industry. The two parties will also elevate their twelve-year partnership to a new height.

From point tools to organizational capability, cooperation enters the "deep water zone"

The cooperation between Sinolink Securities and Tencent dates back to 2014. At that time, when the internet finance wave was just beginning, Sinolink Securities and Tencent jointly launched "Yongjinbao," attempting to use internet technology to transform the reach and delivery of securities services and drive innovation in securities service models. Jiang Wenguo, Deputy Party Secretary and President of Sinolink Securities, summarized it in his speech as "using internet technology to reconstruct the delivery method of securities services for the first time." This project also became the starting point for the two parties' long-term cooperation thereafter.

Over the twelve years, industry technology topics have continuously evolved, and the cooperation between the two parties has also extended from the onlineization of securities services to public cloud, domestic innovation, and other fields. The new common challenge facing this signing is how, after large models, agents, and other technologies enter securities business, to move from point tools to sustainable organizational capability. Sinolink Securities and Tencent Cloud have chosen a strategic approach to put strategy, research, technology, services, and ecosystem onto the same advancement timetable.

Sinolink Securities had already laid out its AI efforts earlier. It is reported that Sinolink Securities proposed the concept of an "AI-friendly organization" in the industry and established an artificial intelligence laboratory in early 2024 to promote deep integration of frontier technology exploration and business practice, while emphasizing the building of AI compliance governance capabilities; in 2026, Sinolink Securities' "AI Friendly 2.0" strategy emerged, centered on three main lines—strategic upgrading, brand consensus, and engineering breakthroughs—to drive AI from individual tool application toward organizational capability building and comprehensive business application.

As early as July this year, Tencent WorkBuddy had already launched its VPC version at Sinolink Securities, and Sinolink Securities was among the first institutions in the securities industry to implement this version. Currently, WorkBuddy is accelerating its embedding into internal efficiency-improvement areas such as investment research, wealth management, compliance and risk control, and office operations, promoting large-scale efficiency gains in related businesses while meeting financial compliance and data security requirements.

Recently, Sinolink Securities plans to "join" WorkBuddy, relying on its professional advantages in investment research, wealth management, and other fields to further connect professional financial services with investor needs and provide more convenient and intelligent market information interpretation, research findings references, and wealth management knowledge services. This "two-way journey" will drive the two parties' cooperation from internal digital capability building toward deep layout in intelligent financial services, enabling high-quality financial services to match investor needs more efficiently.

In this strategic cooperation, the two parties will take "securities + AI" as the main thread to carry out frontier strategy discussions, business technology exchanges, and joint activities, and explore AI strategy advancement and "AI-friendly" practices; at the same time, they will establish a joint AI laboratory, invest expert resources, and conduct technology trend analysis, case accumulation, and benchmark co-creation around the application trends of artificial intelligence, large models, cloud computing, and big data in the securities industry.

The large-scale implementation of AI large models cannot be separated from a secure and reliable infrastructure foundation. Tencent Cloud will use technical capabilities such as AI computing power foundation, AI intelligent computing foundation, large model inference platform, domestically produced database and big data suite, Tencent Cloud agent development platform, AI knowledge base, and AI Coding tools to build a complete domestic technology stack from underlying computing power to upper-layer applications for Sinolink Securities, supporting the rapidly growing trading demand, real-time processing, and data analysis needs in the AI era, and promoting closer integration of technical capabilities with industry needs.

Whether AI can create long-term value also depends on whether it can enter services and the ecosystem. The two parties will also advance AI market services around market demand, customer service, and business development, and jointly build an AI service chain with the advantages of both parties; at the ecosystem level, the two parties will jointly invest industry resources, technology ecosystem, and brand influence, build AI ecosystem components, and carry out joint activities for the market, industry, and customers.

Wang Hongtao, Chief Information Officer of Sinolink Securities, stated that Sinolink Securities is leading the intelligent transformation of securities with the "AI-friendly" concept, and this strategic cooperation is precisely a resonance between the two parties under the strategic blueprint of "AI-friendly" and "technology for good." The two parties will work together across multiple levels—strategy, technology, scenarios, and ecosystem—to jointly contribute to the high-quality development of the securities industry. Hu Liming, President of Tencent Cloud, pointed out that the securities industry is accelerating the deep integration of "domestic independent innovation" and "AI intelligence," and Tencent Cloud will provide Sinolink Securities with full-stack technical support from cloud infrastructure to AI. The two statements point respectively to the technology foundation and business outcomes, and also correspond to the two ends of this cooperation. (CIS)
