Domestic mobile phones start to compete for the implementation of GUI Agent. ZTE hits the daily limit! Doubao and Jieyue Xingchen large models are the first to enter the game.

Beyond the intense competition in AI image enhancement, domestic mobile phones have finally introduced new features.

Today, Doubao released the "Doubao Mobile Assistant Technical Preview Version". According to the official introduction, this model has system - level operation permissions. It can recognize UI elements on the mobile phone screen, understand user needs through large - model technology, and then simulate actions such as clicking, swiping, and inputting to operate applications on the phone like a human being, performing daily tasks such as comparing takeaway prices and searching for travel guides on Xiaohongshu. Doubao has collaborated with ZTE on mobile phone models equipped with this solution, and a small number of them are currently on the market.

Coincidentally, two days ago, the large - model unicorn Jieyue Xingchen open - sourced a GUI Agent technology similar to the Doubao Mobile Assistant - a suite called GELab - Zero. At the same time, it open - sourced a 4B GUI Agent model (GELab - Zero - 4B - preview) and the complete supporting infrastructure, supporting one - click deployment for DIY enthusiasts. This model has comprehensively refreshed the performance records of models of the same size on multiple GUI lists for mobile and computer devices, achieving SOTA results. Due to its powerful general task execution ability, GELab - Zero has sparked heated discussions among developers in overseas communities such as X and Reddit.

In fact, in the past year, the Agent's ability to perform cross - application tasks for users has been frequently demonstrated by major mobile phone manufacturers at press conferences. For example, Apple proposed the system - level large - model AI ability, Apple Intelligence, as early as June 2024, which piqued consumers' interest, but there has been no mass - produced model on the market yet.

Surprisingly, ZTE may be the fastest - moving domestic mobile phone manufacturer to reap the benefits. In addition to collaborating with Doubao, as early as July this year at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, ZTE jointly launched the "Elderly AI Assistant" with Jieyue Xingchen, launching a series of age - friendly functions. For example, the elderly can give instructions to the Agent assistant to perform tasks such as making doctor appointments and paying social security with one click.

Currently, ZTE Corporation's stock has reached the daily limit.

Industry insiders believe that with the rapid evolution of large - model technology, the Agent's task execution ability will open up the next competitive frontier for mobile phone brands. After all, the growth space brought by intense competition in basic configurations and imaging capabilities is quite limited. However, since the implementation of large - model terminals has high requirements for the entire chain, including algorithms, computing power, training data, and system permissions, it is considered a better implementation model for mobile phone manufacturers that control data and systems to collaborate with large - model manufacturers proficient in algorithm research to jointly define a new AI mobile phone experience for users.

For basic large - model companies like Doubao and Jieyue Xingchen, attempting to implement their models on terminals has greater market potential compared to the already saturated emotional companionship scenario. According to LatePost, in addition to ZTE, ByteDance is in talks with multiple mobile phone manufacturers. Public information shows that Jieyue Xingchen has previously reached cooperation agreements with over 60% of domestic mobile phone manufacturers, including Honor, OPPO, and ZTE.

Perhaps next year, in addition to chat companionship and AIGC content creation, large - model applications on mobile phones and other terminal scenarios will also experience an explosion.
