Lenovo has partnered with NVIDIA to help AI cloud providers deploy data centres in weeks rather than months, as the world’s largest PC maker steps up efforts to establish itself as a major player in artificial intelligence.
The collaboration was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where Lenovo also showcased a new AI platform, concept devices and its first foldable smartphone under the Motorola brand.
Under the new data centre initiative, Lenovo said it will combine its liquid-cooled hybrid AI infrastructure with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platforms to help AI cloud providers bring facilities online much faster. The company said the integrated approach is designed to significantly cut deployment timelines by simplifying design, integration and commissioning.
Speaking alongside NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said the joint offering, dubbed the Lenovo AI Cloud Gigafactory with NVIDIA, sets a new benchmark for scalable AI factory design and enables advanced AI environments to be deployed at unprecedented speed.
Beyond infrastructure, Lenovo also introduced Qira, a personal AI system designed to operate across Lenovo and Motorola PCs, smartphones, tablets and wearables. The system is intended to work in the background and deliver services from partners such as Expedia, positioning Lenovo’s devices as AI-enabled personal assistants rather than standalone hardware products.
Lenovo also previewed concept AI glasses, entering a growing field that already includes players such as Alibaba and Samsung Electronics. In addition, the company demonstrated an AI assistant wearable under development, code-named Project Maxwell, which is designed to provide real-time assistance to users.
The announcements highlight Lenovo’s broader strategy to move beyond traditional PCs and servers by embedding AI across devices, infrastructure and services, as competition intensifies among global technology companies to capture demand driven by generative AI and large-scale cloud deployments.
