AMD Ryzen AI Agent Innovation Application Contest invites you to define the new future of AI.

Recently, Openclaw's "National Shrimp Farming" has become a hot AI topic across the internet, making the public truly feel that the era of AI agents has really arrived! AI agents are moving from technological concepts into reality, integrating into daily life, reshaping workflows, and changing the ways of living and learning. From improving the efficiency of personal office work to innovating the processes of industry scenarios, AI agents are visibly penetrating every corner of people's lives, kicking off a productivity revolution for the whole nation.

As AI agents become the new core of the technological wave, AMD has always been at the forefront of edge AI, providing a more solid foundation for the implementation and innovation of agents with its hardcore technology. On March 28, 2026, AMD, in collaboration with 36Kr, officially launched the AMD Ryzen AI Agent Innovation Application Contest. This contest is designed for every participant in the AI era: whether you are an ordinary person at the forefront, eager to explore how AI agents can change work and life, or a developer deeply involved in the AI field, dedicated to developing AI workflows and applications, you can showcase your hardcore achievements here - share your unique stories of using AI agents to transform daily life, and let more people see the infinite possibilities of AI empowering ordinary people; let high-quality AI applications step out of the laboratory and truly empower everyone to become a super individual in the AI era.

All of this implementation cannot be achieved without a powerful technological foundation - laptops equipped with AMD Ryzen AI series processors, which are the core computing power for the contest's works. Just like the popular crayfish agent, which requires strong computing power support from the computer to ensure data security and smooth local operation, AMD Ryzen AI series processors have solved this problem, making it normal for large models with hundreds of billions of parameters to be implemented on the edge side, and enabling various creative agents to "run and run fast" locally.

More importantly, AMD has never stopped at hardware technology breakthroughs. Instead, it is committed to building a full - chain edge AI ecological platform covering computing power, hardware, software applications, and capital, removing innovation barriers for every AI pioneer. Whether it is the creative ideas of ordinary users or the technological exploration of professional developers, they can find a fertile ground for implementation in this ecosystem, making the innovation of AI agents barrier - free and allowing excellent ideas to take root and grow.

On the edge AI track, privacy, latency, and cost have been the three major obstacles preventing AI agents from entering the lives of ordinary people: people worry about privacy leakage when uploading data to the cloud, there is always annoying network latency when calling cloud interfaces, and frequent API billing puts pressure on creative exploration. The rise of edge AI is the key to solving these pain points. By placing computing power locally and returning data sovereignty to users, AI agents can achieve millisecond - level response and run smoothly offline.

AMD Ryzen AI series laptops are the hardcore "power engine" of edge AI, making it possible to run large models on the edge side with their ultimate hardware configuration. It is equipped with a heterogeneous collaborative architecture of "Zen 5" CPU, AMD RDNA 3.5 GPU, and XDNA 2 NPU. The CPU with up to 16 cores and 32 threads makes multitasking a breeze. The high - performance GPU paired with a low - power NPU with 50 TOPs of computing power provides the optimal solution for multimodal agent tasks. More notably, relying on AMD's Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) and Variable Graphics Memory (VGM) technology, on models with a 128GB memory configuration, a super - large graphics memory of up to 96GB can be achieved, completely ending the "graphics memory anxiety" on mobile devices. This means that large models with tens of billions or hundreds of billions of parameters, such as GPT OSS - 120B and Qwen Next 80B coder, can run silently and smoothly locally. Creative applications like the crayfish agent can also be easily implemented without heavy reliance on the cloud, avoiding billing traps and network fluctuations.

This AMD Ryzen AI Agent Innovation Application Contest closely adheres to the inherent advantages of edge AI and sets up three innovation tracks, covering the full scenarios of OPC one - person companies, work and study, and life and entertainment. Whether you are a creative ordinary user or a professional development team, you can find your own stage:

"OPC One - Person Company" Track: Let AI take over the execution, and you focus on decision - making. From the flash of inspiration to the delivery of results, AI helps you "push through" the entire business closed - loop single - handedly!

 "Work and Study" Track: Empower work/creation/study more efficiently with AI workflows and achieve real personal evolution

"Life and Entertainment Companion" Track: Create agents that understand emotions, have memories, and can interact, bringing virtual intelligence into real life and enriching daily entertainment and life experiences.

To ensure that every creative idea is seen and empowered, AMD provides comprehensive support including hardware, technology, capital, and traffic for the contest. The winning teams will receive flagship laptops equipped with AMD Ryzen AI series chips and cash prizes. At the same time, relying on 36Kr's media matrix, it provides traffic exposure for excellent applications and opportunities to connect with top - tier investment institutions, helping projects reach the peak of business success.

From the popularity of the crayfish agent to the blooming of various AI agents, we are standing at a critical juncture of edge AI popularization. The AMD Ryzen AI Agent Innovation Application Contest is not only a competition of technology and creativity but also an exploration of edge AI involving the whole nation. It is a stage for professional developers to showcase their achievements and a window for ordinary people to share their AI - enabled lives.

Here, your creativity can be implemented, your technology can shine, and your stories can be seen. AMD is looking for every one of you who loves AI and dares to innovate to jointly open the era of edge AI popularization, let intelligence be born at your fingertips, and enable everyone to become a super individual in the AI era!
