Horizon

Five-year hypotheses about the direction of the system.

这些不是对具体产品的预测,而是关于整个系统前进方向的假设。

Not predictions of products. A study of the forces shaping the next computing cycle.

Countercurrent studies how compute, context, interface, portability and material culture may reorganize around intelligence.

时间并不意味着确定性。它让我们把相互关联的变化放在同一个系统中审视。

2026—2027

Local Intelligence Becomes Practical
本地智能开始具备实用性

Personal AI computers evolve into local intelligence infrastructure for privacy, persistence, high-frequency inference and continuous operation. Local compute becomes the private ground beneath cloud intelligence.

Compact local-intelligence appliance
2027—2028

The Application Layer Begins to Dissolve
应用层开始溶解

Users express goals without choosing the app, menu or workflow. Applications become capabilities invoked by agents; operating systems govern agents, permissions, memory, identity and execution.

Capabilities separated into a legible hardware architecture
2028—2029

Interfaces Become Temporal
界面变得具有时间性

Voice, vision, touch, movement, presence and environmental information form one interaction field. The best interface appears at precisely the right moment.

Temporal interface composed of translucent layers
2029—2030

Intelligence Becomes Portable Across Objects
智能开始跨物件迁移

Context, preferences and long-term memory become less dependent on one device. Identity, memory, permissions and agent portability become strategic terrain.

Portable consent-led intelligent object
2030—2031

Computing Fragments Into Meaningful Forms
计算分化为更有意义的形态

New objects emerge for professions, communities, rituals, environments and expression—creating a new material culture of intelligence chosen for meaning as well as capability.
