Lenovo New Vision and GigaAI Reach Strategic Cooperation to Build an Embodied Intelligence Industry Loop with World Models

Recently, Lenovo New Vision and GigaAI, a globally leading general world model company, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will take world models as the core, jointly build a technology and computing power coordination system, connect the "data—model—hardware—scenario" industrial loop, and jointly create a domestic benchmark for collaborative innovation in embodied intelligence.

01 Industry Turning Point: Physical AI Accelerates Its Evolution

At present, physical AI is accelerating its evolution from rule-driven to neural network-driven. Traditional robots rely on manually hard-coded rules for their actions and can only adapt to fixed workstations; once faced with the complex and ever-changing working conditions of the real world, their generalization and adaptability capabilities encounter obvious bottlenecks. Robots equipped with the world model as their "brain," by contrast, can rehearse the physical world in virtual space, anticipate environmental changes, and make autonomous reasoning and decisions. There is a significant intelligence gap between the two.

As neural network technology matures, world models have become a key path for embodied intelligence and general physical AGI. To achieve large-scale commercial deployment of embodied intelligence, both the algorithmic foundation of underlying world models and embodied brains and stable and reliable computing power scheduling, deployment and operations, and industrial scenario implementation capabilities are indispensable—and this is precisely where this strategic cooperation converges.

02 Complementary Strengths: Two Key Pieces of the Puzzle

Lenovo New Vision is a national-level high-tech enterprise and a national-level specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative "little giant" enterprise. Relying on the full-industry-chain resource advantages of Lenovo Group, it has deep expertise in deep vision algorithms, domain large models, spatial computing, and embodied intelligence body hardware. It focuses on real industry pain points and is dedicated to overcoming the "last meter" of embodied intelligence implementation, with strong scenario implementation and industrial empowerment capabilities, and continues to drive the implementation of technologies and products in the two major directions of special embodied intelligence and general embodied intelligence.

GigaAI is the first technology company in China to lay out world models. It builds a closed-loop ecosystem with the world model platforms GigaWorld/DriveDreamer/YISU, the general embodied brain GigaBrain, and the native body Maker, and is committed to achieving more than 100-fold improvements in productivity and creativity and driving the large-scale explosion of AGI in fields such as general embodied intelligence, general autonomous driving, and general content creation. Its core team brings together top research talent and industry executives from Tsinghua University, Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, CMU, and other leading institutions at home and abroad, continuously supplying data, simulation, and creative productivity for directions such as embodied intelligence, autonomous driving, and content creation, converting understanding and prediction of the world into action, and driving general-purpose robots into homes, factories, and many other scenarios.

One side excels at technology implementation and industrial empowerment, while the other conducts in-depth research on the underlying technologies of world models. The two parties share aligned technical philosophies and resonate in industrial vision, laying a solid foundation for cooperation.

03 All-Round Ecosystem Synergy

The two parties will build an ecosystem synergy system around three major directions: computing power business synergy, embodied data construction, and industry-education integration. Focusing on embodied computing power, embodied data collection, and embodied brain applications, they will provide infrastructure services to embodied intelligence enterprises across the industry.

At the computing power business level, the two parties will jointly lay out the computing power pioneer market. Relying on joint technology and computing power resources, they will build a computing power coordination system driven by world models, providing embodied intelligence enterprises with integrated services for computing power leasing, computing power construction, and embodied intelligence data collection; they will deliver complete solutions for scenarios such as industrial manufacturing and teaching and training, and, relying on world model content creation engines such as YISU, provide world-model-driven computing power and generation services for the production of digital content such as film and television, games, and short dramas, while linking the channel resources of both parties to jointly develop the market.

At the data construction level, they will collaboratively deepen the embodied data collection pioneer market, connect the entire chain from collected data production, simulation training, computing power scheduling, to scenario validation, shore up the shortage of high-quality data supply for physical AI, and build a solid data and computing power foundation for the continuous iteration of embodied intelligence.

In terms of industry-education integration, the two parties will open up the "body + model + data platform" complete system to empower universities' scientific research breakthroughs and professional talent cultivation; they will jointly output industry innovation achievements to further amplify the brand influence of both parties in the embodied intelligence track.

04 Go Fast Alone, Go Far Together

This strategic cooperation is a two-way convergence of technical capabilities and industrial resources. In the future, Lenovo New Vision and GigaAI will continue to deepen collaborative innovation, take world models as the lever, strengthen computing power services, solidify data capabilities, accelerate the movement of embodied intelligence technology from the laboratory to all walks of life, and work together to promote the high-quality development of the physical AGI industry.
