Being down - to - earth is the biggest feature of Lenovo Tech World 2025.
In previous years, at this most important annual press conference, Lenovo mostly presented high - tech that was a bit distant from ordinary people. For example, last year, Lenovo released the Hybrid AI Advantage (a set of hybrid artificial intelligence advantages) for enterprises and also showcased several concept products under development, such as a keyboard - less PC and a ring - shaped keyboard.
The circle of friends Lenovo invited to Tech World also consists of key figures in the tech industry. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, shook hands and hugged Yang Yuanqing, the chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, on stage for two consecutive years.
However, on May 7, 2025, at this conference, Lenovo first invited the star Da Zhangwei to demonstrate how to use a personal agent to plan itineraries and write jokes;

Then, Yang Yuanqing made a robot named "Lexiang No. 1" equipped with an enterprise agent perform Tai Chi, recommend products, and match preferential information, and even offered it a job at Lenovo on the spot.

This year's transformation also means that Lenovo, which has been aggressively entering the AI PC market in the past two years, has reached the moment of large - scale implementation of AI products.
In Yang Yuanqing's view, this transformation is due to the changes and popularization of several key technologies: DeepSeek promotes the popularization of AI computing power and models; MCP (the Agent protocol proposed by Anthropic) enables standardized invocation of model tools and services; Llama4 promotes MoE (Mixture of Experts architecture) to become the mainstream large - model architecture.
To implement AI technology on a large scale, Lenovo has given a mainstream answer: develop agents. Yang Yuanqing mentioned that the super - agents currently being developed by Lenovo are different from the first - generation agents. The core difference lies in their capabilities of multi - modal perception and interaction, cross - device cognition and decision - making, and autonomous execution and evolution.
At the conference, Lenovo released two super - agents. One is "Tianxi" for individuals, and the other is "Lexiang" for enterprises. It is worth mentioning that both agents have achieved multi - modal interaction. For example, through the images captured by smart glasses, "Tianxi" can estimate the number of participants; also, based on the elements in a photo, "Tianxi" can identify the specific location.
Currently, Lenovo's strategy is to co - create domain agents with ecological partners, integrate them into super - agents, and then provide services for individual and enterprise users.
Lenovo's role in this is to provide multi - layer solutions such as inference engines, computing power, and applications. At the conference, Lenovo released an inference acceleration engine jointly developed through industry - university - research cooperation with Tsinghua University and Wuwen Xinqiong, which can improve the inference speed in various application scenarios while reducing power consumption and memory usage.
Ensuring the data and information security of users during the use of agents with technology is also an emphasis of Lenovo. For this reason, Lenovo has launched a Deepfake detection technology against malicious AI face - swapping and integrated it into the super - agents.
The implementation of super - agents in various terminals is also Lenovo's achievement. This time, Lenovo released four terminal products equipped with super - agents at once:
The Motorola AI foldable phone moto razr 60 Ultra AI Yuanqi Edition, which is also the first "L3" level AI smartphone. Users only need to press the "Moto AI key" to let the phone autonomously perform functions such as document summarization and AI search;
The AI tablet Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 AI Yuanqi Edition combines the stylus with large - screen AI functions. Users only need to select and hover with the stylus to achieve functions such as AI text summarization and translation;
The world's first scroll - screen AI PC ThinkBook Plus Rollable, which features a flexible screen that can be stretched to extend the original PC screen by 50%;

Meanwhile, Lenovo's AI glasses equipped with super - agents are also under development. Da Zhangwei's trial - wearing at the conference has revealed some functions of the AI glasses, such as multi - modal interaction including voice and real - time visual understanding.

In addition to the "down - to - earth" agents and terminal products, Lenovo has also upgraded its AI infrastructure such as Infra and liquid - cooling systems.
On the one hand, Lenovo's heterogeneous intelligent computing platform "Wanquan" has been upgraded to version 3.0. In response to the explosion of inference demand, the need for combined model training and inference, and the pain point of difficult discovery of "slow nodes (nodes with degraded performance in large - scale clusters)", "Wanquan 3.0" has introduced a set of AI inference acceleration algorithms, an AI compilation optimizer, and an AI slow - node fault prediction and self - healing system for training and inference.
On the other hand, in the field of immersion liquid - cooling, Lenovo has launched the "Flying Fish" bionic heat - dissipation design and the "dual - cycle" phase - change immersion refrigeration system. The former has increased the maximum supported power consumption of the radiator by 20%, and the latter has doubled the heat - dissipation capacity compared with traditional solutions.
Finally, facing the media, Yang Yuanqing also mentioned "uncertainty", which mainly stems from the current unpredictable geopolitical situation. He said that the current US tariff policy still has exemption policies for high - tech products, especially semiconductors, so the prices of Lenovo's products will not be greatly affected.
"But there is a great deal of uncertainty in our future," he said.
