Representatives from more than 500 leading AI enterprises, including Intel, AMD, Alibaba Cloud, SenseTime, and 360 Group, joined the event, alongside industry association heads and ecosystem partners.

Wang Dianjia, deputy mayor of Longhua, praised CTONE’s strategic shift as a vivid example of the district’s evolution from “Digital Longhua” to “Intelligent Digital Longhua.” He highlighted the district’s advantages as a core hub for Shenzhen’s digital economy and AI industry, emphasizing that the transformation could position CTONE as a leading domestic and internationally recognized AI computing major firm.

CTONE’s transformation reflects both 13 years of corporate innovation and a keen understanding of AI trends. As AI foundational elements — energy, chips, infrastructure, and large models — mature, the explosion of AI applications has become inevitable, with the Agent Computer positioned as a central driver of this trend.

Chairman Dou Kai officially declared the arrival of the “Agent Computer Era.” This new computing platform integrates three core values: data privacy protection, cost efficiency, and localized computing support.

CTONE plans to collaborate with chip manufacturers such as AMD and Intel, as well as large model and software partners like Alibaba Cloud and SenseTime, to build a CTONE Agent Computer ecosystem.

CEO Dai Yuanjun unveiled the AI Computing Strategic Transformation Report, charting the company’s evolution from “small boxes” to a comprehensive ecosystem.

He emphasized an “All in AI” approach, with the CTONE Agent Computer and AI workstations serving as core pillars to redefine AI computing terminals globally.

The event also showcased the CTONE product line, including the Xuanwei, Xingqi, and Hanjing series, designed for rapid deployment, edge-cloud collaboration, and large model support. CTONE Agent NAS, AI laptops, and the Aceclaw AI application marketplace were also introduced, providing enterprises with vertical solutions across data security, industrial AI, and digital human applications.

German tech partner Johannes Greenfarmer, from a Munich-based tech company, praised CTONE’s innovative approach. 

“I think the Agent PC architecture is fundamentally different,” he said. “They are integrating substantial GPU power, and the chips are specifically tailored for AI needs. What impresses me most is the variety of products — from small, powerful mini workstations for office tasks to larger PCs and NAS services. This setup allows companies to run their own AI models securely on their own devices, which is extremely important for data privacy.”

The CTONE AI Computing Experience Hall, a highlight of the event, featured interactive demos spanning AI, energy, healthcare, and algorithm development. Collaborations with partners like Alibaba Cloud and SenseTime allowed attendees to experience firsthand how CTONE’s hardware, software, and AI applications integrate seamlessly, heralding a new era of intelligent agent computing.
