At a breathtaking keynote inside the Las Vegas Sphere on January 6, 2026, Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang unveiled a massive expansion of their strategic partnership. The headline announcement, the Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory, represents a leap toward "gigawatt-scale" AI infrastructure. Designed to help cloud providers and enterprises deploy sovereign AI environments in record time, these factories utilize Nvidia’s latest Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin architectures. By integrating Lenovo’s industry-leading Neptune liquid cooling technology, the partnership aims to slash the time it takes to move AI from development into full-scale production from months to just weeks.

For the consumer market, the star of the show was Qira, Lenovo’s new "Personal Ambient Intelligence System." Described as an "AI Super Agent," Qira is a system-level intelligence designed to eliminate the boundaries between devices. Whether you are using a Lenovo Yoga laptop, a Motorola smartphone, or Lenovo AI glasses, Qira provides a unified experience that "perceives, thinks, and acts" with user permission. Unlike traditional chatbots that require a dedicated app, Qira operates as a background layer, maintaining real-time context as you switch between screens to offer proactive assistance.

The power of Qira lies in its "Agentic" capabilities, which move beyond simple text responses to taking actual steps on the user's behalf. Key features debuted at CES include "Next Move," a predictive intelligence that anticipates what files or apps you need based on your current activity, and "Catch Me Up," which provides cross-device summaries of notifications and highlights. Lenovo also demonstrated "Pay Attention," a meeting companion that offers real-time transcription and instant recall across the entire Lenovo-Motorola ecosystem, ensuring that your digital assistant truly follows you everywhere.

Innovative hardware concepts further showcased Lenovo’s vision for the future of "Hybrid AI." The ThinkPad Rollable XD and Legion Pro Rollable concepts wowed the audience with screens that dynamically expand to adapt to different work and gaming modes. These devices are built to leverage the high-performance local AI processing required for Qira to function with ultra-low latency. By utilizing a hybrid AI architecture—processing sensitive data on local NPUs while offloading complex global tasks to the secure cloud—Lenovo is prioritizing both speed and user privacy.

On the enterprise side, the Lenovo-Nvidia tie-up is focused on "Smarter AI for All" at an industrial scale. The new Gigawatt AI Factory program includes the Nvidia GB300 NVL72 system, a liquid-cooled rack-scale supercomputer that unifies 72 Blackwell Ultra GPUs. This infrastructure is specifically built to handle trillion-parameter agentic AI models, allowing organizations to turn proprietary data into self-learning entities. This "Hybrid AI Advantage" allows businesses to apply their own decision logic to real-world data, transforming them into more efficient, AI-driven organizations.

Lenovo also utilized the iconic Sphere venue to showcase how its technology is already at work. As the official technology partner of Sphere Studios, Lenovo’s high-performance workstations and infrastructure are used to power the venue’s massive 16K LED displays and immersive audio. This real-world application served as a proof-of-concept for the immense processing power that the new Nvidia-powered Gigafactories will bring to other creative and industrial sectors globally throughout 2026.

As the CES 2026 showcase concludes, it is clear that Lenovo is no longer just a hardware manufacturer, but a full-stack AI leader. With Qira set to roll out to select devices in the first quarter of 2026 and the first AI Cloud Gigafactories coming online shortly after, the company is delivering a seamless ecosystem where intelligence is ambient, proactive, and deeply integrated. By bridging the gap between personal devices and enterprise-grade data centers, Lenovo and Nvidia are setting a new benchmark for the next era of computing
