HarmonyOS 4 has been officially announced at the HDC2023 conference on August 4, 2023. For the majority of HarmonyOS developers, this is a grand conference. As of now, there are 700 million HarmonyOS devices and more than 2.2 million HarmonyOS developers. The Hongmeng ecology is full of new opportunities and will certainly bring new challenges.
New Opportunities with HarmonyOS 4
At the HDC 2023 Developer Conference, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG, announced that HarmonyOS 4 (HarmonyOS 4) was officially released.
The Hongmeng system first came to the fore at the 2019 Huawei Developer Conference. The birth of HarmonyOS means that the domestic operating system is self-controllable. Today, the Hongmeng system has gone through three iterations and continues to achieve new breakthroughs.
Access to AI large model
HarmonyOS 4 will make another breakthrough in the fields of car-machine system and multi-modal interaction, integrate artificial intelligence technology more deeply, and carry out a breakthrough upgrade with the hot artificial intelligence large-scale model technology.
In terms of AI functions, Hongmeng HarmonyOS 4 brings an AI model upgrade to Xiaoyi's voice assistant. According to the official introduction, Xiaoyi's mobile phone monthly active users have reached 200 million. The new Xiaoyi of HarmonyOS 4, powered by the AI model, claims to continue to enhance in three directions: intelligent interaction, efficient productivity and personalized service.
According to the presentation at the press conference, Xiaoyi supports the generation of complex scenes, quick summaries, text creation, natural dialogue, talking through pictures, secondary creation of pictures, reminders for casual notes, scene-based service combinations, etc.
Huawei advocates more responsible AI. The first principle of all AI experience innovation and scene design is security and privacy protection. The Hongmeng Ecology with AI large-scale model capabilities will bring you a revolution in intelligent interaction and a significant increase in production efficiency!
ark engine
In terms of system fluency, Huawei has newly released the "Ark Engine", including graphics engine, multimedia engine, memory engine, scheduling engine, storage engine and low-power engine. According to Huawei, compared with the previous generation, HarmonyOS 4 has a 20% improvement in smooth sliding performance and a 30-minute increase in battery life.
OpenHarmony has become the root community of the open source Harmony
At the HDC2023 conference, Yu Chengdong also shared the latest progress of OpenHarmony as the root community of the smart terminal operating system. At present, OpenHarmony has more than 150 partners, more than 350 software and hardware products have passed the compatibility test, more than 100 million lines of code, more than 5,100 community contributors, and Gitee ranks first in the activity index.
Judging from some key information about the continuous implementation of OpenHarmony's ecological achievements, the prosperity of thousands of industries is not empty talk. More and more companies have created their own products and solutions based on OpenHarmony, which have been applied to many fields such as education, finance, transportation, energy, medical care, aerospace, etc., and are steadily advancing towards the goal of enabling the digital transformation of thousands of industries . In the education industry, the smart student terminal based on OpenHarmony can create a multi-device collaborative experience, help students learn efficiently, and teachers teach accurately. It has officially landed in two schools in Changsha; In the field of government affairs, the smart multi-functional pole based on OpenHarmony has been applied in the CBD on the north bank of the Minjiang River in Fuzhou, Fujian; in the financial industry, the smart POS machine and agricultural aid financial terminal based on OpenHarmony can make payment and business processing more intelligent and convenient , to meet the business diversification and information security needs of the financial market, and has been applied in the Agricultural Bank of China and Xinjiang Bank; in the transportation industry, the first expressway tunnel enabled by OpenHarmony was officially opened to traffic in Shandong this year; in the power industry and medical industry , Electricity self-service payment terminals and smart medicine cabinets equipped with OpenHarmony have been put into use in State Grid and some hospitals in Nanjing and Hangzhou respectively. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the field of aerospace, the "Dalian-1-Lianli Satellite" equipped with OpenHarmony manufactured by Dalian University of Technology was also successfully launched into the sky on the Tianzhou-6 spacecraft in May this year. Data collection and transmission reflect the strong technical strength of OpenHarmony and the application potential of high-end technology industry.
New challenges brought by HarmonyOS 4
As a developer, it is very necessary to invest in learning HarmonyOS 4 in time. The Hongmeng ecology has gone through four difficult years, but the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it is now slowly on the right track, and the return to prosperity is just around the corner.
