At the 2025 vivo Developer Conference, Zhou Wei, Vice President of vivo and Director of the AI Global Research Institute, shared the company's latest advancements in the smartphone field, especially breakthroughs in edge-side AI. With technological development, mobile phone manufacturers are gradually shifting their focus from large cloud-based models to more lightweight edge-side models. This shift not only enhances user experience but also provides new opportunities for differentiated competition among phones.
At this conference, vivo introduced the Blue Heart Intelligence Strategy and OriginOS 6, with the edge-side large model becoming the focal point. For example, the 3B edge-side multimodal reasoning large model launched by vivo, although lighter in size compared to a larger 10B model, has significantly enhanced language and logical reasoning capabilities. This means users can enjoy an intelligent experience comparable to that of a large model while saving storage space.

Zhou mentioned that AI technology on the cloud is relatively easy to implement, and the real challenge lies in improving edge-side capabilities. To this end, vivo is committed to reducing operational steps through more intuitive user interfaces and enhancing users' task completion efficiency. In addition, vivo's mobile assistant is continuously evolving, capable of intelligently recognizing screen content, performing AI summarization and classification, greatly simplifying user operations.
However, despite significant progress in edge-side AI, vivo still faces some challenges. Especially in terms of collaboration between different applications and security standards, the authorization processes of various application vendors still need further improvement. To overcome these obstacles, Zhou stated that vivo will actively promote the establishment of industry standards to facilitate broader technological cooperation.
With the continuous improvement of AI capabilities in smartphones, vivo is at the forefront of technology and looks forward to working with the internet industry to provide users with a better intelligent experience together.
