  • Programming is becoming a key metric for AI capability, alongside natural language.
  • Agents are evolving from chat tools to the smallest units of productivity, capable of sensing, decision-making, and execution in the physical world.
  • The integration of agents with next-generation terminals will enable continuous, cross-terminal intelligent experiences.
  • Structural changes will occur in new systems (Agentic OS), new carriers (human-machine symbiosis on devices), and new networks (A2A networks for agent collaboration).
  • The entry of agents into the physical world requires addressing issues of accountability, trustworthiness, and traceability.
  • The future is envisioned as a world of co-evolution between humans and intelligence, amplifying personal capabilities.
