Lantu Deepens Partnership With Huawei-Backed Yinwang as China’s AI Push Shifts From Chat to Task-Doing Agents

Executives describe a turn from chat experiences to agentic systems delivering faster enterprise ROI.

Overview

  • Lantu announced a deepened strategic agreement with Yinwang to co-develop intelligent driving and cabin systems and to jointly operate consumer software, forming cross‑functional teams from product planning through user operations.
  • Yinwang said reports that it plans to list in the second half of 2026 are false, and the company is majority owned by Huawei with Avita and Seres holding 10% stakes each.
  • At the AGI‑Next summit, Tencent’s Yao Shunyu said AI deployment is increasingly diverging, with consumer use feeling incremental while enterprise adoption grows as firms favor the most capable models for productivity.
  • Zhipu founder Tang Jie said DeepSeek’s 2025 debut signaled a shift to AI that executes tasks, and he reported GLM‑4.7 brings further gains in agent and coding abilities after GLM‑4.5 claimed 12 domestic benchmark leads.
  • Alibaba’s Qwen lead Lin Junyang argued that foundation models must be built as products and that agents will require long‑running, embodied reasoning with deeper interaction in virtual and physical environments.
