HONOR

HONOR (荣耀) is a Chinese smartphone maker that, in elsewhere's corpus, shows up mainly as one of the most aggressive handset players pushing into on-device AI. At its 2025 global developer conference it unveiled the flagship Magic8 series running MagicOS 10, whose YOYO agent automates tasks across 3,000+ everyday scenarios, with StepFun's multimodal models supplying the underlying tech — work that earned StepFun a "best collaboration" award, per Qiming Venture Partners . That partnership runs deep: StepFun's models are installed on HONOR flagships as part of a footprint exceeding 42 million devices . In May 2026, 十字路口Crossing described HONOR's YOYO Claw — a terminal-side rework of the open-source OpenClaw framework — as a deliberate bet on on-device agents under its "Alpha strategy" and AHI (Augmented Human Intelligence) framing , and by mid-2026 it was showing a "Robot Phone" with a built-in gimbal camera at WAIC, competing with StepFun and Doubao for the title of first true AI agent phone . Beyond products, HONOR also invests through its Shenzhen AI terminal industry fund — it joined recent rounds in embodied-AI startup Independent Variable Robotics, per Unity Ventures .
