Standing at the critical juncture of Lenovo's fifth decade and the new decade of AI, Liu Jun, executive vice president and president of Lenovo China, said that Lenovo hopes to work with partners to drive AI inclusion with full-stack AI, jointly build China's new quality productivity, and contribute to the high-quality development of China's economy.
1. Integrated and multi-terminal, accelerating AI "from cloud to end"
With the blessing of AI, the intelligent terminal industry is ushering in a new round of changes and upgrades. How to make the large model benefit everyone, improve work efficiency, and facilitate daily life has become a must-answer question. Lenovo has been deeply involved in the PC market for 40 years, and has the obligation to lead the development of terminals and bring users a new intelligent terminal experience of AI for the first time.
In terms of AI-embedded intelligent terminals, Lenovo is relying on "one body and multiple terminals" to make breakthroughs, that is, around Tianxi AS (personal agent system), extending applications and experiences from AI PCs to AI mobile phones, AI tablets and various AIoT devices, providing users with more scenario-based AI fusion experiences, so that AI acceleration can benefit everyone.
At this conference, Lenovo showcased its industry-leading AI Personalized PC (AI PC), which will continue to lead the third generational upgrade of PCs. Lenovo Xiaotian, the industry's first AI PC personal agent, can provide users with highly personalized services through natural interaction, promoting personal computers to move towards artificial intelligence personalized computers (AI PCs), from tools to partners.

Lenovo Tianxi Ecosystem is consumer-oriented, with the strategy of "one body and multiple terminals" to complete the overall layout at the three levels of "equipment + model + service", and will work with ecological partners to create an AI terminal industry ecological alliance to create and build together with the industry, so that everyone can truly have AI.
At the Al Terminal Industry Ecological Innovation Forum held at the same time as the conference, Lenovo also joined hands with the industry to launch the preparation of the AI Terminal Industry Ecological Alliance, and released a joint incentive plan for AI application developers to accelerate the implementation and ecological construction of AI terminals.

2. One horizontal and five vertical, focusing on AI-oriented infrastructure
From the AI 1.0 era represented by deep learning to the AI 2.0 era based on large models, the demand for AI computing power in all walks of life is increasing rapidly, and they are also facing huge challenges.
Based on years of accumulation and layout in the fields of general computing, scientific computing, and intelligent computing, in terms of AI-oriented infrastructure, Lenovo has built a complete layout of "one horizontal and five vertical", that is, Lenovo's heterogeneous intelligent computing platform, as well as server, storage, data network, software, hyper-convergence, and edge infrastructure products and solutions, to continue to help enterprises build a solid "digital foundation" and provide solid and reliable support for their intelligent transformation.
At this conference, Lenovo released the Lenovo Heterogeneous Intelligent Computing Platform, which integrates Lenovo's five major technological innovations and is the infrastructure foundation for large model training and inference in the AI 2.0 era. The five major technological innovations include: Rubik's Cube for Computing Power Matching, GPU Kernel Virtualization, Lenovo Integrated Communication Algorithm Library, AI Efficient Breakpoint Resumption Training Technology, and AI and HPC Cluster Super Scheduler.
▲Lenovo Heterogeneous Intelligent Computing Platform was released
In the future, Lenovo's AI infrastructure will continue to focus on three major areas to achieve technological innovation. That is, super computing power and intelligent matching match to match users with the best computing power that has been verified and optimized, core algorithms to improve efficiency and exploit computing power potential with core algorithms to improve computing efficiency, and liquid cooling innovation and green computing power to help users save energy and increase efficiency with advanced liquid cooling technology and break through the bottleneck of chip heat dissipation.
At the Intelligent Computing Industry Ecological Innovation Forum, Lenovo and the China Intelligent Computing Industry Alliance jointly announced the establishment of the Heterogeneous Intelligent Computing Industry Ecological Alliance, and joined hands with AI chip layer, AI equipment and system layer, and AI platform and application layer manufacturers to build Lenovo's Wanquan Ecosystem, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of multiple scenarios of artificial intelligence and promoting the vigorous development of China's intelligent computing industry.

3. One engine and three arrows, reconstructing AI-native solution services
Under the wave of global intelligence, the enterprise IT service market is ushering in a new wave driven by artificial intelligence technology, and the enterprise model will be the accelerator of enterprise intelligent transformation.
With the strong support of the DynaSky 3.0 engine, Lenovo's solution service business is building a full-stack intelligent full-cycle service with the strategic layout of "one engine and three arrows", so that artificial intelligence can benefit every enterprise and individual through intelligent twins. "One engine" refers to the engine that makes full use of the large model technology to upgrade to 3.0. The "three arrows" refer to government and enterprise program services, small and medium-sized enterprise program services and consumer services.
For governments and large enterprises, Lenovo offers Porfolio 2.0, an AI-native solution service product series, which includes solutions and services developed by Lenovo for many years, covering support services, digital workplace, sustainability and intelligent hybrid cloud solutions. In addition, Lenovo will also use industry intelligent twins as a breakthrough to create end-to-end and customized industry solutions for different segmentation scenarios in each industry.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, Lenovo has launched a new Baiying intelligent twin, an edge AI center and customer co-creation platform that connects PC, mobile, and local deployment of some customers. It is based on the large model of Baiying mixing. Through multi-modal interaction and light application, customers can get the most convenient intelligent IT service experience.
For the majority of consumer users, Lenovo embeds the service agent into the Lenovo Xiaotian agent to make the service more intelligent, and will provide active services through the perception of user scenarios and the understanding of user intentions, and the use of multi-modal human-computer interaction and intelligent scheduling.
▲Lenovo released a tailor-made industry agent solution
With "DynaSky 3.0" as the core, Lenovo is committed to collaborating with smart device partners, new IT technology partners, application partners, content partners, and service delivery partners to build AI-native solution services, forming an intelligent body rainforest ecosystem with complementary advantages, symbiosis and common prosperity, so as to help different types of customers realize the implementation of AI applications in all scenarios.
Conclusion: Build full-stack AI to benefit everyone
"Seven years ago, we saw the great changes that AI could bring and foresaw the trend of intelligence. Liu Jun said. With a strong and enduring strategic focus, the ability to continue to innovate, a leading business model and a large number of customers, Lenovo has built a core advantage of "full-stack AI".
And "full-stack AI" is also the core element of new quality productivity. With the strong support of the DynaSky 3.0 engine, Lenovo's solution service business will create a full-stack intelligent full-cycle service with a strategic layout of "one engine and three arrows", so that artificial intelligence can benefit every enterprise and individual through intelligent twins.
