Multi-terminal AI layout: building the future with innovative technology
At this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Lenovo unveiled more than 40 new devices and solutions based on artificial intelligence, acting as a key organizer and popularizer of China's AI PC AI ecosystem. At this press conference, Zhang Hua summarized the five necessary conditions and three development stages that a mature AI PC should have, clarified the architectural deployment of embedded AI intelligent terminals, and introduced the “one-in-one, multi-terminal” AI strategic layout of Lenovo's consumer business.
Zhang Hua mentioned that a mature AI PC should have five necessary conditions: standard local hybrid AI computing power of CPU+GPU+NPU; embedded personal large model composed of local large model and personalized local knowledge base; equipped with localized personal data and privacy protection solutions; open AI application ecosystem; embedded personal Agent, multi-modal natural language becomes the main interaction method. He believes that AI PC has three development stages: the first stage is the AI Ready stage from December 2023 to April 2024, which is characterized by the hardware platform having a certain hybrid AI computing power of CPU+GPU+NPU, which can support terminal manufacturers and third-party application developers to innovate terminal AI experiences. The performance of the products has also been further improved and does not yet have the complete characteristics of AIPC; the second stage is the AI from April 2024 to September 2024. The Explore stage is characterized by embedding personal Agents and personal large models into AIPCs (including remote upgrades to AI Ready AIPCs) on the basis of embedded hybrid AI computing power. The first batch of third-party AI applications are connected to the AI mini-program platform, thus possessing the complete characteristics of AIPC. It can provide users with personal AI assistant services based on natural language interaction around core scenarios, and start a journey of co-creation and exploration with users and AI application developers. The third stage is the AI Master/AI after September 2024. The Advaned stage is characterized by the continuous improvement of hybrid AI computing power, further improvement of the performance and service capabilities of personal large models, greatly enriched AI application ecology, further diversification of business models, further expansion of the scope of personal Agent’s scenario services, further upgrade of service experience, and personal AI assistants entering a path of rapid advancement based on user use and experience feedback.
Lenovo is deploying and developing the overall technical architecture, key modules and applications of embedded AI smart terminals. Facing personal and family AI terminals that mainly cover the four categories of AI PC, AI mobile phone, AI tablet and AI IoT, Lenovo will subsequently release products equipped with AI hybrid computing power. In terms of personal large model deployment, Lenovo adopts a local + cloud hybrid large model model. Lenovo is currently cooperating to develop local large models based on Alibaba Qianwen and Simou General large models, and has established strategic partnerships with many cloud large models such as Baidu Wenxin and MiniMAX.
Lenovo strives to build an open AI application ecosystem with many AI application developers and ecosystem partners in the industry, taking advantage of the data security advantages brought by local large models to provide onboard chip-level encryption technology to protect users' key information and ensure data security.
Zhang Hua believes that Lenovo’s important action in the development stage of AI PC is the development of Agent personal assistant. “The Agent personal assistant can shuttle between our various AI terminals and bring users a solution for the overall AI space. We call it “one-stop, multi-terminal”, which is also the most important business strategic layout.” Lenovo focuses on the personal assistant's ability to handle complex tasks under scenario scenarios. Multi-modal natural language interaction, intention understanding, task scheduling and chain processing capabilities are the key points. At this press conference, Lenovo's personal assistant “Xiao Le”, which is being optimized, and Lenovo's newly created rescue Ji AI digital per capita surprise debut.
