On October 22, 2026, iFLYTEK released the iFlytek Spark X2.6 device-cloud integrated large model, comprising the cloud-based 293-A30B model and the already open-sourced on-device X2.6-4B model, both of which completed capability upgrades based on fully domestic computing power. According to Zhi Dongxi reports, the cloud model supports a one-million-token context, with an input price of 0.9 yuan per million tokens and an output price of 3.6 yuan per million tokens. At the same event, iFLYTEK also released the SparkAudio 1.0 speech foundation model, the Robot Super Brain Platform V3.0, the WinWork digital employee platform, and hardware such as the iFlytek AI recording ring. On the same day, iFLYTEK Chairman Liu Qingfeng said at the main forum of the 2026 Global 1024 Developer Festival that domestic computing power still lags about two generations behind the global level, but will soon narrow to one generation or half a generation, and there will certainly be a day when it runs neck and neck or even leads.

iFlytek releases end-cloud integrated Spark X2.6; can its voice legacy support a new business in the physical world?
iFlytek released the end-cloud integrated Spark X2.6 at the 2026 Global 1024 Developer Festival. The model size is 293-A30B, it supports a million-Token context, and a domestic ten-thousand-card inference cluster has gone live. The company's narrative focus has shifted toward getting models into cars, glasses, and robots, but in the first three quarters of 2026, non-recurring net profit showed a loss of 763 million yuan, widening by 125.79% year on year; the book turnaround mainly relied on 785 million yuan in non-recurring gains and losses. The robot super-brain platform has served more than 500 manufacturers, but whether it can generate sustained orders remains to be verified.

iFlytek releases the Spark X2.6 cloud-device integrated large model, trained on fully domestic computing power
iFlytek releases the cloud-device integrated large model iFlytek Spark X2.6, including the cloud-side 293-A30B model and the already open-sourced on-device X2.6-4B model, both of which completed capability upgrades based on fully domestic computing power. The cloud model supports a million-token context, with an input price of 0.9 yuan per million tokens and an output price of 3.6 yuan per million tokens; its input cache-miss and output prices are lower than those of DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. At the same event, it also released the speech foundation model SparkAudio 1.0, the Robot Super Brain Platform V3.0, the WinWork digital employee platform, and hardware such as the iFlytek AI recording ring.

iFlytek releases the iFlytek Spark X2.6 cloud-device integrated large model
iFlytek releases the iFlytek Spark X2.6 cloud-device integrated large model, completing a capability upgrade based on fully domestic computing power. It includes the cloud-side 293-A30B model and the on-device X2.6-4B model, the latter of which has been open-sourced. The cloud model supports a one-million-token context, with an input price of 0.9 yuan per million tokens and an output price of 3.6 yuan per million tokens. iFlytek says its cloud-device routing accuracy has risen from 81.2% to 96.1%, and the inference efficiency of the domestic Feixing-2 chip has reached 4.5 times that before optimization.

iFlytek Releases Spark X2.6 Large Model, Focusing on Cloud-Device Collaboration
At the main forum of the 2026 Global 1024 Developer Festival, iFlytek released Spark X2.6. Built on a fully domestic, self-reliant technology stack, it uses cloud-device collaboration to let on-device devices handle some tasks while complex problems are handed to the cloud, reducing Token costs and protecting sensitive data. Spark X2.6 is the first to achieve breakthroughs in coding and Agent capabilities based on fully domestic computing power, with the on-device Spark X2.6-4B reaching 41.9% coverage of Agent tasks. iFlytek says dynamic parallel training for long-horizon tasks improves ultra-long-context training efficiency by about 4x and inference efficiency on domestic clusters by 4.5x, and it has already been deployed in education, healthcare, legal and other fields.

iFlytek releases cloud-device integrated Spark X2.6 and on-device Spark X2.6-4B
On October 22, iFlytek released the cloud-device integrated iFlytek Spark X2.6 at the 1024 Developer Festival, and simultaneously launched the on-device model Spark X2.6-4B; the system routes tasks to pure on-device, pure cloud, or cloud-device collaborative execution. Spark X2.6 uses a MoE architecture with 293B total parameters and 30B activated parameters, with the context window expanded to 1 million Tokens. The official website shows X2.6 at a limited-time 40% discount, with input and output prices of 0.9 yuan and 3.6 yuan per million Tokens, respectively. Liu Qingfeng expects that in the future about 60% of scenarios can be completed on-device, 30% will use cloud-device collaboration, and 10% will require cloud large models. The company says the share of tasks that can be completed independently on-device has risen from 12.8% to more than 40%.

iFlytek's Liu Qingfeng: Domestic computing power still about two generations behind the global top, but the gap is narrowing rapidly
iFlytek Chairman Liu Qingfeng said that domestic computing power as a whole still lags about two generations behind the world's most advanced level, but that gap is narrowing at a pace far faster than outsiders expect, and will soon shrink to one generation, ultimately achieving parallel running and even leading in some areas. He also noted that few companies in China are truly committing to investing core resources in underlying large-model training, and stressed that China simply cannot afford to lose on the AI track, with the core prerequisite being that the entire industry tackles underlying technical bottlenecks on a fully independent and controllable technology platform.

iFlytek Chairman Liu Qingfeng: Domestic computing power is still about two generations behind the global level, but there will certainly be a day when it runs neck and neck or even leads
Liu Qingfeng, Chairman of iFlytek, said at the main forum of the 2026 iFlytek Global 1024 Developer Festival that domestic computing power is still about two generations behind the global level, but it will soon narrow to one generation or half a generation, and there will certainly be a day when it runs neck and neck or even leads. He also pointed out that in the domestic ecosystem, almost no companies are truly putting effort into large-model training, and in the future more people need to pool their efforts on a fully independent and controllable platform.
