Lenovo today announced the expansion of the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with a portfolio of AI inferencing and agentic AI innovations designed to help organizations deploy AI agents faster, reduce token costs, and run AI economically from device to AI factory. As AI moves from model training to continuous inference and autonomous execution, enterprises face a new challenge: how to deliver intelligence at scale while achieving sustainable costs. Organizations need the flexibility to run AI where data is created and decisions are made—on AI PCs, devices, and workstations; in the data center; or in the cloud. Lenovo's hybrid AI factory enables inference everywhere, helping customers place AI closer to their data, users, and business processes while optimizing performance, cost, security, and governance.

As hybrid AI inferencing becomes the primary driver of enterprise AI spending, Lenovo is expanding its Hybrid AI portfolio with new inference-optimized platforms. Through collaboration with ecosystem leaders including NVIDIA, Intel, Red Hat, and Canonical, Lenovo is delivering open, scalable solutions that simplify AI deployment with only a few clicks, accelerate time-to-value, and improve AI economics across hybrid environments.

New Hybrid AI Platforms

Lenovo introduced several new platforms to advance AI inferencing capabilities:

Industry research shows that 92% of organizations deploying agentic AI report costs exceeding expectations. Lenovo's inference-optimized architecture helps address these challenges by delivering high-performance CPU-based inferencing, scalable infrastructure, and improved token economics. For AI workloads requiring sustained CPU and GPU utilization, Lenovo solutions can deliver up to 8X lower cost per token than cloud-based infrastructure-as-a-service environments and up to 18X lower cost per million tokens compared with model-as-a-service APIs.

Agentic AI Adoption

Building on this inferencing foundation, Lenovo is introducing new agentic AI capabilities designed to help organizations increase productivity and reduce operational complexity. With one-click deployment of autonomous and long-running agents, Lenovo ensures customers have everything they need from the desktop to the data center to start harnessing value with agentic AI and realize measurable business outcomes.

Lenovo is expanding these capabilities across a growing range of enterprise use cases, including helping employees find information faster using Knowledge Super Agent use cases and reducing the burden on IT teams by automating routine operational tasks. The company is also co-developing autonomous AI agents, skills, and solutions for NVIDIA NemoClaw with customers around the globe. New personal AI Factory environments on Lenovo ThinkStation PGX provide a simplified environment for development, including NVIDIA NemoClaw blueprints.

Trust by Design

As organizations confront increasing concerns around data privacy, governance, and AI security, Lenovo’s AI infrastructure portfolio continues to advance a trust-by-design approach to AI deployment. New capabilities include Nutanix Compute only Cluster on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers, a CPU-only, enterprise-grade virtualization platform with greater flexibility and simplicity. Lenovo XClarity One delivers unified zero-trust management, visibility, control, and automation across hybrid infrastructures. Additionally, supply chain and hardware root-of-trust protections help organizations maintain compliance and governance requirements.

Lenovo has achieved its highest-ever ranking of seventh globally in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026, improving from eighth place in the previous year. The company’s ascent in the renowned annual ranking underscores its operational excellence and the effectiveness of its AI-driven supply chain strategy during a period marked by global disruptions. Lenovo ranked eighth in 2025, 10th in 2024, and eighth in 2023.

AI-Driven Resilience

The company strengthened its position by evolving its Supply Chain Intelligence "digital nervous system" into iChain, a continuously learning orchestration system. This system coordinates thousands of suppliers and more than 30 manufacturing sites globally. The implementation of iChain has delivered measurable operational improvements, including 60% faster decision-making and near real-time disruption response. Additionally, the automation of network simulations has reduced the time required for manual analysis from two to three weeks down to two to three hours.

Business Performance and Expansion

Lenovo’s supply chain resilience has translated into strong business results. The company retained its number one position in global PC market share, with the gap to the second-ranked competitor widening to its largest level in 15 years. Integrating the Infrastructure Solutions Group supply chain into the broader global network has accelerated growth in Lenovo’s infrastructure business, supporting record operating profit and margins.

To meet hypergrowth demand for AI infrastructure, Lenovo is scaling AI server manufacturing, expanding liquid-cooled server capacity, and strengthening its global-local manufacturing network. The company’s supply chain spans more than 30 manufacturing sites in 10 markets across Asia Pacific, China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North America, and South America.

Strategic Global Investments

Lenovo is actively expanding its global manufacturing footprint. Last year, the company broke ground on a new manufacturing base in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Once operational, the facility will manufacture PCs, smartphones, and servers for the Middle East and Africa market and will include a research and development center. In September 2025, Lenovo announced a major investment and job expansion at its U.S. manufacturing and fulfilment campus in Whitsett, North Carolina, which spans more than 800,000 square feet and employs approximately 1,100 people.

The company’s manufacturing site in Monterrey, Mexico, was recently recognized as one of 12 new additions to the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network. It is the second Lenovo site to receive this recognition, following the site in Hefei, China, which was recognized in January 2023.
