China’s Lenovo, the world’s largest personal computer maker, has partnered with U.S. AI chip leader Nvidia to help AI cloud providers rapidly deploy data centres, as the technology giant seeks to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence.
The announcement was made on Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where Lenovo also showcased an AI platform, concept devices, and the first foldable smartphone under its Motorola brand.
Under the new program, Lenovo will provide liquid-cooled hybrid AI infrastructure integrated with Nvidia’s computing platforms, enabling AI cloud providers to cut deployment times to “weeks,” the company said.
“Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory with Nvidia sets a new benchmark for scalable AI factory design, enabling the world’s most advanced AI environments to be deployed in record-setting time,” Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said during a presentation alongside Nvidia counterpart Jensen Huang.
In addition, Lenovo unveiled Qira, a personal AI system designed to operate across Lenovo and Motorola devices—including PCs, phones, tablets, and wearables—even while running in the background. The system will provide integrated services from third-party platforms such as Expedia, the company said.
Lenovo also showcased concept AI glasses, joining global peers Alibaba and Samsung Electronics in the sector, as well as an AI assistant wearable device under development through “Project Maxwell,” which aims to provide users with real-time assistance.
The initiative highlights Lenovo’s push to expand its AI ecosystem across hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure, reflecting growing competition in the rapidly evolving global AI market.
