HONOR’s Four-Layer AI Architecture
The Four-Layer AI Architecture is composed of Cross-device and Cross-OS AI, Platform-level AI, App-level AI, and Interface to Cloud-AI services. The Cross-device and Cross-OS AI is the foundational layer that enables an open ecosystem, facilitating computing power and service sharing among HONOR devices and operating systems. Secondly, the Platform-level AI personalizes the operating system, allowing intent-based human-computer interaction and efficient resource allocation. The App-level AI pioneers innovative, generative AI applications to revolutionize user experiences. Lastly, the Interface to Cloud-AI services ensures user access to extensive cloud services while prioritizing privacy protection.
Bringing Magic to User Experience with MagicOS 8.0 and Magic Portal

The Magic Portal is currently supporting 100 top applications across travel, productivity, messaging, search, entertainment, shopping, and social media, but will continue to expand to provide even more seamless and intelligent AI experiences. Moreover, HONOR will roll out the MagicOS.
