Honor teases a new Alpha Plan for AI dominance

Smartphones are already an integral part of our lives, and in the past couple of years, artificial intelligence took over pretty much every area it could reach with its tiny virtual hands. Smartphones included. We have Gemini-powered phones, Galaxy AI devices, and Apple Intelligence, of course.
Now, Honor joins the party with a brand new plan that the company teased. The Honor Alpha Plan will be unveiled during the biggest forum for mobile innovations, the Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona.
So, what this Alpha Plan is exactly? We don't know for sure, but the event is scheduled for Sunday, 2 March, 16:30-17:30 CET at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower Hotel. However, we have tiny snippets of info and corporate slang to give us a broad idea of this new strategy.
Honor says that "Alpha" represents the pioneering spirit that drives exploration into uncharted territories and exceptional performance that surpasses benchmarks through active innovation and strategic foresight.
But let's get back to the AI portion. Another snippet of information Honor shares about its Alpha Plan concerns building an open-collaborative AI ecosystem with third-party global partners. That sounds promising and probably involves using other big LLMs such as Gemini.

In contrast, "Beta" is steady market-following returns, but Honor doesn't want this boring "Beta" approach, obviously. Whether or not the Chinese company will be able to deliver on its promises to be "a trailblazer in the tech industry and drive innovation forward" remains to be seen.
Honor already has Gemini baked in the latest Magic 7 Pro flagship but the company also uses the infamous DeepSeek Chinese LLM in its YOYO assistant. So, this could go various ways.
The company shared another small teaser, saying that it's aiming to launch exclusive AI Agent solution for global commercialization. And we're not talking James Bond 007 type of agents, but more likely a global version of the aforementioned YOYO.
From merely receiving commands to truly understanding intentions.

Honor also says that it will bring "autonomous decision-making, complex task management, and seamless collaboration across different AI agents" with this Alpha plan. This might allow Honor's new globally available "AI Agent" to communicate with Gemini, Galaxy AI and the others from the digital bunch, and also do things on its own. Is this scary? Is it enabling? We still don't know, but we will find out and tell you.
