Whether in technological innovation or commercial exploration, AI is the most prominent blue ocean of the moment.

At the recently concluded GTC 2025 conference, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang declared that the future belongs to the era of Agentic AI and Physical AI.

Manus, Operator, Openmanus… in the waning days of March, the flurry of Agent applications launched by various players has been dizzying.

From serving as tools that empower us, to becoming intelligent agents coexisting with humanity, AI technology is evolving at a pace beyond expectations. Agentic AI is transforming from a distant concept into a real force reshaping our lives and work.
