Yang Yuanqing announced Lenovo’s first AI PC: it can run personal large models and will be available as soon as September next year

IT Home News on October 25, on October 24, the 2023 Lenovo Innovation Technology Conference Tech World was officially held. At the conference, Lenovo Group Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing led the leadership and top industry partners to explore in-depth artificial intelligence current situation and future. At the same time, Yang Yuanqing demonstrated a series of artificial intelligence innovation and technological achievements such as Lenovo's first AI PC, large model compression technology, and artificial intelligence twin (AI Twin), and also disclosed a number of strategic cooperation.

Yang Yuanqing said in his opening speech that with the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence and large language models, artificial intelligence technology has become so real for the first time and is closely related to every person and every enterprise. While rejoicing in technological progress, Lenovo has also begun a deeper exploration.

At the meeting, Yang Yuanqing demonstrated AI PC to the world for the first time, saying that "personal computers are ushering in a new dawn."

Yang Yuanqing said that smart devices are like racing cars. They are the ultimate carrier for artificial intelligence to reach end users. The personal computers of the future will be artificial intelligence computers, the mobile phones of the future will be artificial intelligence mobile phones, and the workstations of the future will be artificial intelligence workstations.

At the same time, local knowledge bases will be built on these artificial intelligence-enabled devices and edge devices to better understand users. Personal large models will use personal data stored on devices or home servers for inference. Users' personal data is never shared or sent to the public cloud unless authorized by the user. It can even predict tasks based on the user's mental model and find solutions autonomously.

Yang Yuanqing emphasized that thanks to Lenovo’s large model compression technology, Lenovo AI PC has the ability to run personal large models and can run them locally without involving cloud operations, thus ensuring personal privacy and data security.

Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said in an interview this morning that Lenovo had previously announced that it would invest US$1 billion in the field of AI in the next three years. “Currently, US$1 billion is not much, or even not enough!” Yang Yuanqing bluntly said that almost all of Lenovo's businesses involve AI and basic services, which require a lot of capital, so US$1 billion is not enough.

When talking about when it will be listed, Yang Yuanqing said frankly that it will not be listed until after September next year. In his view, AI PC has a maturing process. According to historical rules, it will occupy 10% of the market share in the early stage and will become mainstream in the future. "I believe that every computer in the future will be an AI PC."

IT House noticed that at this Lenovo Tech World, executives from NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Microsoft and other chip and technology giants also appeared one after another.

At the meeting, Yang Yuanqing and NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said that Lenovo will cooperate with NVIDIA to launch a new hybrid artificial intelligence plan to bring the next generation of cloud artificial intelligence technology to enterprise users around the world. This means Lenovo will offer new enterprise-grade AI solutions based on NVIDIA MGX architecture, Lenovo Hybrid AI Services and more.

In addition, Lenovo and Intel are joining forces to drive the application of AI at scale across all workloads at the client, edge, network and cloud. Lenovo and AMD continue to work closely together on smart devices, infrastructure and solutions. At the same time, Qualcomm is steadily implementing generative artificial intelligence models with billions of parameters, enabling Lenovo products to provide more support for users’ productivity and creativity.
