"Science and Technology Innovation Board**" on February 18 (reporter Huang Xinyi).Meizu today announced a strategic adjustmentAt the same time as all in AI, we will stop the development of new projects for traditional smartphones and focus on next-generation AI devices
Meizu also announced the content of its AI strategic plan, including building AI device products, reconstructing the FlyMe system, and building an AI ecosystem.
Among them, the creation of AI devices includes product form, AI native design, hardware computing power, AI global calling, etc.; The Flyme system will also reconstruct the system and applications from the bottom up, so that AI technology can be more deeply integrated into the operating system. In addition, Meizu will also focus on building an AI ecosystem and fully open Meizu AI Device hardware to many top international large-scale model teams, including OpenAI.
Previously, Meizu has launched the Flyme AI large model, and it has been launched in Flyme 10The 5 system is equipped with the new AICY assistant. According to the plan, in 2024, Meizu's newly built mobile operating system for the AI era will be updated. In addition,Meizu's first AI Device hardware product will also be officially released this year, and a total of 6 hardware products will be launched in the next three yearsIn addition to 1 model this year, it also includes 2 models in 2025 - all-weather AI device (XR form) and AI device iteration, and 3 models in 2026 - all-weather AI device, AI device iteration, and AI device pro.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Mingyong, founder and CEO of OPPO, also published a letter to all employees at the beginning of the year today, emphasizing the AI mobile phone strategy. The letter stated:2024 is the first year of AI mobile phones, and the era of AI mobile phones will become the third stage of the mobile phone industry after feature phones and smartphones
Chen Mingyong said that this is a major judgment for the mobile phone industry. "Through AL, we can redo the mobile phone experience and help users achieve better value. Obviously, this round of AI technology, supported by large models, is reshaping the future of the mobile phone industry. I believe that looking at 2024 in two years' time, we will have a deeper understanding of the significance of this judgment. ”
In 2023, OPPO released the Andean Grand Model (ANDEGPT) and has established an AI center to accelerate the concentration of resources on AI. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, OPPO pushed the ColorOS AI New Year Edition system to more than 10 million users, including 100 AI functions such as AI elimination, AI call summary, and AI intelligent voice.
Guo Tianxiang, a senior analyst at IDC China, told the reporter of the "Science and Technology Innovation Board" that major domestic mobile phone manufacturers are laying out large models one after another. Compared with other manufacturers, Meizu can be called all in AI because it focuses on one product line. The low-end products of other manufacturers cannot support AI.
This is due to the implementation of the large AI model on the terminal side, which puts forward higher requirements for the hardware configuration of smartphones. Zhuang Shirong, senior manager of AI technology in MediaTek's wireless communication division, once saidA large AI model with 13 billion parameters requires about 13GB of memory to run, and the smartphone itself running the Android operating system usually occupies 4GB of memory, and if you want to run other routine APP tasks relatively smoothly and keep it alive, you also need 6GB of memoryThat is, the total mobile phone memory capacity requirement will reach 23GB。At present, most of the mainstream thousand-yuan smartphone memory capacity is around 8GB and 12GB.
Overall, it has become obvious that mobile phone manufacturers will focus on AI in 2024. "The landing of AI models on smartphones will become the next round of innovation in mobile phones, and increase the average sales of domestic mobile phone devices**. The battle for AI for mobile phone brands is also a battle for the future and high-end. Some industry analysts said.
