On September 16, 2026, Huawei released the document Intelligent World 2035: Turning Vision into Action, which was presented alongside the Global Digitalization and Intelligence Index (GDII) for 2026. This document outlines a decade-long infrastructure roadmap centered on agents rather than merely launching consumer devices.
Chairman David Wang emphasized that agentic artificial intelligence is a variable transforming operational activities and industry dynamics. He insisted on the need for concrete industry infrastructure actions, not just trend presentations.
According to projections, by 2035, agents could account for over 90% of AI token traffic. Furthermore, global annual token consumption is expected to increase by approximately 100,000 times as systems continuously perceive information, reason, invoke tools, and interact in real time. Huawei also stated a long-term goal of achieving around 900 billion application agents.
The report also highlights the computational power and security load that will arise with the dominance of agents in the token flow, including a clear priority on autonomous agent security. Reuters covered this aspect when reporting on the release.
The document includes a list of ten technological directions that serve as a practical checklist for the industry. These directions include: achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which takes physical form through language, embodied, and scientific intelligence; scaling clusters by 100 times and reducing agent task costs by 1000 times using SuperPoD-type systems for improved token inference efficiency; developing new storage and memory systems with causal accuracy and reliable traceability; experience-oriented intelligent connectivity with AI integration into communications; applying Tau's Scaling Law for chip design, favoring joint optimization of latency and energy over pure geometric scaling; creating an evolutionary Agent Operating System (Agent OS) based on (Coordination × Execution × Memory × Connectivity); ubiquitous intelligent device functionality; self-learning intelligent driving with a focus on safety; improving energy efficiency and cooling of AI-based data centers; and establishing security and privacy control mechanisms for autonomous agents.
This package of documents, released ahead of the Huawei Connect 2026 conference, presents a thesis on global infrastructure and strategy covering token production, delivery, consumption, and limitations, which differs from the announcements of the open-source Ascend CANN or 3D AIDC architecture. Independent operators will need to adapt the SuperPoD economy, Agent OS interfaces, and agent security proposals to their own plans before considering these ten directions as a procurement list.
