Tech giant Lenovo has revealed a sweeping strategy to transform itself into a hybrid AI powerhouse. The company is betting on what it calls “hybrid AI” – a system that works across devices, edge computing, data centers, and clouds. This approach keeps data and computing power close together, which helps with speed, privacy, and performance.
Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Advantage portfolio offers end-to-end solutions for businesses. It focuses on running AI models in real-world settings rather than just training them. The company wants to bring AI close to where data lives, including keeping sensitive information on-site to meet legal requirements.
Bringing AI to where data lives, keeping sensitive information secure while delivering real-world results for businesses.
In a major move, Lenovo and Motorola announced “Qira” – a personal AI assistant that works across all devices. Qira will provide the same smart features whether you’re using a PC, phone, tablet, or wearable. It’s designed with privacy in mind, using both on-device processing and secure cloud connections. These solutions align with the industry trend toward energy-efficient computing that reduces environmental impact while maintaining performance.
Qira will start appearing on select products in 2026. The company’s long-term vision includes developing a super agent concept that can unify AI experiences across both personal and enterprise devices.
Lenovo is expanding its device lineup with AI-powered laptops and desktops. These machines include special hardware for AI tasks and software like Lenovo Power Engine, which adjusts performance based on what you’re doing. The company’s ThinkPad, Legion, Yoga, and Motorola brands will all become part of this AI ecosystem.
For businesses, Lenovo has launched “Agentic AI” – a complete solution for creating, deploying, and managing AI assistants. Lenovo’s comprehensive offering enables enterprises to accelerate time-to-value from proof-of-concept to full deployment in as little as three months. They’ve also introduced “xIQ,” a platform that helps companies use AI safely at scale.
Lenovo’s vision extends beyond current products to future concepts like rollable screens and smart displays. By combining on-device AI with cloud capabilities, the company aims to create a seamless experience across all computing devices.
This hybrid approach addresses growing concerns about data privacy while still delivering powerful AI features.
