Lenovo Chooses Multi-Model Approach for Its Devices

On January 23, 2026, Lenovo's CFO confirmed the company's new strategy: refusing to be tied to a single AI provider. The largest PC manufacturer intends to integrate a wide range of LLMs (from Llama to Gemini) into its laptops and smartphones, giving users a choice.

Unlike Apple or Microsoft, which build closed ecosystems, Lenovo bets on agnosticism. This allows the company to adapt hardware faster to regional specifics (e.g., using Ernie Bot in China and ChatGPT in the US), maintaining global leadership in the AI PC segment.
