【Smart City Network Brand Column】At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), there will be a significant reduction in flashy demonstrations, and the display of real-life work scenarios will become mainstream. AI will comprehensively advance from traditional question and answer tools to digital partners that can autonomously perform tasks. The conference released a clear industrial signal: the development of the industry has bid farewell to simple model parameter competition and entered a new stage of physical application with "practical implementation and value priority". The focus of discussion has shifted from "what AI can output" to "what practical problems it can solve".
However, as we transition from the digital world to the physical world, there are still several unavoidable challenges for the implementation of AI, which are also the most common pain points discussed by all parties at this conference.
1、 Terminal hardware fragmentation, lack of standardized underlying brain for end side intelligent agents
Embodied intelligence is one of the highlights of this WAIC, with embodied devices represented by humanoid robots and industrial equipment, along with ubiquitous intelligent embedded terminals such as in car terminals and smart homes, forming the core carrier for AI implementation. However, the long-term fragmentation of multi chip architecture and multiple operating systems has become a common pain point in the industry. If relying entirely on cloud based inference, enterprises will bear high computing power costs and token expenses, network delays will interrupt continuous workflow, and frequent data migration to the cloud also poses security risks. The most urgent need of hardware manufacturers is a lightweight, cross platform, and quickly portable end-to-end base to shorten deployment cycles and lower landing barriers.
Chengmai Technology Firefly AIOS is an end-to-end AI operating system for smart devices, dedicated to providing an efficient, flexible, and scalable software base for smartphones, automobiles, AIoT, and embodied intelligence devices. It is fully compatible with mainstream operating systems such as Android, Ubuntu, and QNX, and deeply optimized and adapted to mainstream chip platforms such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, MediaTek, and Ruixin Micro. It supports rapid deployment and flexible switching of mainstream large models at home and abroad. Its standardized API/SDK covers various intelligent scenarios such as voice, multimodal, and control, helping customers efficiently achieve intelligent agent orchestration and scenario deployment through an intelligent management platform.
For the field of embodied intelligent robots, Chengmai Technology has developed the Firefly PI robot brain based on Firefly AIOS and Qualcomm Q series. Relying on the powerful computing power and deep collaboration architecture of software and hardware on the end side, the data center level AI capabilities are concentrated in the device body, achieving smooth local operation and high-speed reasoning of large models on the end side. It provides an intelligent "neural center" for industrial, service, humanoid and other robots that can be mass-produced, highly stable, highly reliable, and low latency.
2、 The compliance requirements for government and enterprise data have been raised, and local privatization of computing power has become a rigid demand
The "Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index Report 2026" released during WAIC shows that the focus of large-scale model industrialization is shifting from general to vertical, from training to inference, and from single point technology application to business full process reshaping, with significant characteristics of enterprise heavy asset investment. This trend has been clearly reflected in industries such as government affairs, finance, and high-end manufacturing, but at the same time, core data control continues to tighten, and local closed-loop data and offline physical isolation have gradually become prerequisites for digital transformation.
Chengmailong Box Series provides one-stop packaging for models, engineering, and scene capabilities, ready to use right out of the box. Equipped with NVIDIA GB10 Blackwell computing chip, with a single machine capable of 1000 TOPS computing power and 128GB of unified memory, it can be quickly deployed by plugging it into the intranet. The whole machine achieves full link physical isolation, and all data is retained on the intranet, meeting the requirements of multi industry auditing and compliance. It also adopts a one-time buyout model, with lower usage costs than the cloud.
Chengmai Technology has currently launched three versions of Longbox: Enterprise Edition pre installed with a universal office intelligent agent, which can quickly build a private knowledge base and activate data assets; The programming version generates business systems such as OA, HR, finance, project management, production reporting, and customer management through drag and drop visualization operations; The legal version is based on judicial documents, laws and regulations, and legal literature training, supporting contract review, document generation, case retrieval, and compliance analysis. All three versions can meet the rigid requirements of "data not leaving the domain and computing power localization" in the corresponding vertical scene intelligent upgrade.
3、 The intelligent agent ecosystem is fragmented, and a unified lightweight entrance has become the key to inclusive development
Intelligent agents are another core keyword of this WAIC, and AI is evolving from a language dialogue tool to an "intelligent partner". However, vertical intelligent agents from different manufacturers and scenarios are independent and fragmented, with scattered entry points, inconsistent interaction standards, and difficulty in cross platform data exchange. Users need to repeatedly switch between multiple applications, which has become the core bottleneck restricting the universal implementation of intelligent agents.
Chengmai Wukong APP creates a lightweight one-stop unified intelligent entrance: the guest mode supports no login and use, and the full deployment and adaptation logic are encapsulated in the background, without the need for complex front-end configuration. The platform has a built-in skills mall that aggregates vertical AI capabilities in various fields such as contract review, certification coaching, English learning, consumer decision-making, document processing, bidding, stock market trends, etc. It can be used with just one click. The product supports long-term memory and retains personal usage preferences; Support custom scheduled tasks to upgrade services from passive response to active push; Various analysis results support one click export of multi format files such as Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, etc.
WAIC 2026 comes to an end, with clear industry consensus. The three tracks of end-to-end base, localized computing power, and inclusive entrance determine whether AI can truly enter the industry and life. In the future, Chengmai Technology will continue to deeply cultivate the field of AI, using the three major products of Firefly, Dragon Box, and Wukong as the fulcrum, further breaking down the technological barriers between end, edge, and cloud, and promoting AI to take root in more industry scenarios.
