How do developers embrace Huawei Hongmeng? There was a table of hard dishes at the HDC breakfast party

At HDC.24 (Huawei Developer Conference 2024), Hongmeng NEXT was officially launched. As the first generation of native Hongmeng OS, Hongmeng NEXT has attracted much attention since its launch. Judging from the number of applications and device scale, it has achieved one-third of the world's popularity. It can be said that "the trend is set."


Compared with the two forerunners of iOS and Android, how is Hongmeng NEXT different? The three most impressive features are full scene, native AI and native security.


At HDC’s unique “HDC Breakfast Meeting”, Xiaolei (ID: leitech) felt the enthusiasm of Hongmeng developers at the scene. Jia Yongli, President of Huawei Terminal Cloud Service Xiaoyi Business Department, Hongmeng Applications and Yuan Services Chief Architect, Hongmeng product management and technology planning expert, shared how native Hongmeng uses technological innovation to drive service experience and distribution capabilities. The focus is: how developers can apply and tap the native AI capabilities of HARMonyOS and use Xiaoyi Intelligence Develop innovative applications through integrated, meta-services and full-scenario intelligence.


Native AI is one of the core advantages of Hongmeng NEXT



The year 2019 when Hongmeng was born was when large-model AI technology was in the ascendant. At that time, OpenAI had released the language model GPT-2 with 1.5 billion parameters. In 2023, it will be launched With the release of GPT-4, large model technology began to show its astonishing power, the "Hundred Model War" broke out, and the general AI era officially arrived. In 2024, AIGC and large model technology are being implemented on a large scale. Terminals such as individuals, homes, cars, etc. have become fully intelligent. There are more and more AI terminals and AI applications.


In the AI ​​era, an AI-native OS is a must. Android and iOS are both OSs for the mobile era. They have poor cross-device compatibility in all scenarios, and there is no underlying design for AI. Even the newly released iOS 18 is just an OS that Apple has significantly reconstructed for the AI ​​era. It is not native or thorough. , the support for multiple terminals is very weak, especially for large terminals such as cars, and support for small terminals such as "everything" is basically absent.


Hongmeng NEXT, which was born for the all-scenario AI era, was born at the right time. It has multiple unique advantages:


1. All-scenario. Hongmeng NEXT supports all smart devices, large and small. Based on a unique file system and communication protocol, it can achieve seamless transfer between different devices, such as the powerful Share collaboration function between devices, such as calling the mobile phone camera/photo album on the PC.


2. Native intelligence. Harmony Intelligence equipped with Harmony NEXT is based on the Pangu large model, Xiaoyi agents, meta-services, intent frameworks, etc., allowing the device to support powerful AI functions, allowing OS, system applications and third-party applications to more thoroughly explore System-level AI capabilities enable the development of AI applications with a lower threshold and provide users with more innovative services.


3. Native security. Pay attention to privacy protection, put an end to the privacy protection chaos caused by the fragmentation of Android applications, and re-build a new security system "Star Shield Security Architecture" for the intelligent era of the Internet of Everything, from the kernel to the framework to the system to the application, to achieve native security.


Full-scenario, native intelligence and native security are not isolated, but support and collaborate with each other. For example, many applications of AI cannot be completed by a single device alone, and cannot be achieved without the maximum perception capabilities of multi-device collaboration and seamless service capabilities across devices; another example is that native security is important because AI is compatible with all scenarios. Data security imposes completely different and higher requirements.

Having three major characteristics at the same time means that Hongmeng NEXT is ready for the AI ​​full-scenario era.


How does Hongmeng help developers embrace AI?



In response to developers’ needs to embrace AI, what OS-level support does Hongmeng NEXT provide? At the HDC breakfast meeting, Lei Technology got the answer.



The first is the support of intelligent agents.


As AI devices have maximized perception capabilities, the “intent-centered” interaction revolution is accelerating. In the new era of human-computer interaction built by AI, the entrance to the Internet or OS is no longer a search or recommendation page, but a natural interactive agent.


Xiaoyi’s intelligent agent based on Hongmeng’s native intelligence architecture will be one of the interactive entrances to the Hongmeng ecosystem. It will fully support developers in building intelligent agents in the “software, hardware, and cloud” dimension.


According to Jia Yongli, President of Huawei’s Terminal Cloud Service Xiaoyi Business Department, Xiaoyi’s intelligent agent has been fully upgraded based on Hongmeng’s native intelligent architecture. Its memory perception capabilities have covered 23 types of TOP scenarios, and the success rate of inference planning tasks has reached 90%. Xiaoyi AI has mastered knowledge reserves of trillions of tokens and has access to more than 300 key services.

Developers do not need to deal with the underlying large model technology. They only need to develop access to intelligent agent services based on APIs based on Xiaoyi’s many AI capabilities. The entrance of Art Intelligence serves users and obtains traffic distribution.


Take inference planning as an example. Through planning and distribution, Xiaoyi agents can collaborate with agents in multiple fields to complete complex tasks, complete cross-application tasks of search, documents, and emails, and achieve continuity of services between different applications. When a user issues a complex command, Xiaoyi's agent can provide general skills and assign professional tasks to agents in various fields.


Domain agents are responsible for providing professional skills in various fields and completing sub-tasks. In addition, domain intelligence can also be delivered, tested, deployed and evolved independently, and can be connected to different large models. Based on this, Xiaoyi Big Model can generate a PDF file based on the instructions specified in the document, and then send the file to the corresponding contact via email.


In other words, based on capabilities such as Xiaoyi’s agent intent framework, developers can independently serve users in domain agent mode, or they can collaborate with other domain agents to jointly serve users. Jia Yongli revealed that the intent framework has been connected to 70+ developers, covering 10+ vertical domains, and 200+ intents. He called on all partners to work together to build a new ecosystem of Hongmeng native intelligence.


The second is the support of meta-services.


As a carrier of HarmonyOS AI distribution, meta-services can help applications achieve efficient distribution and orchestration of services. Meta-services require no installation and are bound to system accounts. The system can distribute massive cloud-side meta-services. Meta-services can be embedded in applications to achieve conversational AI distribution without exiting the distribution flow, improving the operational efficiency of applications. At the same time, meta-services and applications can achieve efficient data synchronization, thereby improving distribution accuracy.

Taking Nayuki’s tea yuan service as an example, distributors can orchestrate and combine meta-services based on the above characteristics, convert user intentions into command flows, and provide Real-time feedback. For example, when a user says to Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, help me order a cup of domineering oriental pomegranate", the system can disassemble the intention based on the large AI model and select and recommend Nayuki's tea yuan service from the massive yuan services. The user does not need to Install and use. Moreover, meta-services can be embedded in Xiaoyi conversations and executed without interrupting the current distribution flow. In addition, developers can make real-time adjustments to the input and output results of meta-services and take next steps to further enhance the user experience.


In Xiaolei’s view, “meta-services” are like “mini programs”. What you see is what you get for users, and they can be used without installation. But unlike the applet on the super application, it is OS-level, so developers can better use OS-level capabilities; it is designed for AI, so it can realize AI distribution and tap AI capabilities.


Finally, full scene support.


In the past, developers developed applications for OS and devices, such as Android mobile applications. In the era of all-scenario AI, developers develop applications for users, and users may jump between different devices to use them. Therefore, all-scenario AI applications must think about how to connect, transfer and collaborate between different devices and different scenarios to achieve "user-oriented" Center services”.


Born for the all-scenario era, HarmonyOS supports various devices and has the natural advantage of all-scenario services. It has opened up a complete set of SDK, distributed capabilities, AI capabilities and other ecological capabilities. Based on the integration of virtual and real device forms, program frameworks and agent development infrastructure, HarmonyOS will make the differences of massive devices transparent to developers. Developers can call application frameworks, systems, media, graphics, AI, application services and other system-level systems at will. capabilities, allowing applications to reach users in all scenarios and provide seamless services.

All software and hardware applications will be reconstructed by AI



Not only the OS needs to prepare for the AI ​​full-scenario era, developers also have to embrace AI strong desire.


On the one hand, AI hardware is in full swing. AI mobile phones, AI PCs, AI TVs, AI home appliances, AI sweeping robots, AI education hardware, and almost all smart terminals are embracing AI large model technology. The automobile industry even shouted "Shanghai". The slogan is "Electrical in the first half, intelligent in the second half".


On the other hand, all software applications will be reconstructed based on AI large model technology. New forms of Internet applications such as AI search, AI e-commerce, and AI social networking have appeared on the market. At the same time, applications such as Alipay, Xiaohongshu, Toutiao, Meituan, Ele.me, Didi, etc. are also taking advantage of AI large model technology reconstructs products to provide users with better services. For example, Alipay is strengthening the "intelligent assistant" function, allowing users to obtain personalized services within the application through natural voice interaction.


In addition to C-side software and hardware products, it is also fully embracing AI large models for industrial-level vertical scenarios. "Digital employees" are being employed in enterprises in batches to assist human employees in writing code, doing design, creating, and reviewing reports... Industries such as smart finance, smart manufacturing, and smart agriculture are all embracing AI technology, forming intelligence based on AI-driven software and hardware. solutions.


In other words, in the AI ​​full-scenario era, all software and hardware applications, whether for C-side or B-side applications, must be oriented to the AI ​​OS base and reconstructed using AI technology.


In the era of general AI, how do developers embrace AI and develop AI software and hardware applications and solutions? Hongmeng NEXT provides the most comprehensive, original and practical solution.


"HDC Breakfast" is a special sharing project of Huawei Developer Conference. Although it is necessary to get up early to participate, the developers are very enthusiastic and enjoy the hard dishes developed by Hongmeng in a steaming, relaxed and pleasant dining atmosphere. "The early bird catches the worm", just like the current Hongmeng ecology and AI development, developers with keen sense of smell have entered the game first, successfully laid out the layout, and were the first to break the game. More developers are rushing to enter the market, just as Huawei Terminal Chairman Yu Chengdong called at HDC.24: "It's time to join Hongmeng."
