The author recaps impressions from Apsara Conference 2026, arguing AI is increasingly leaving the screen.
- "Embodied AI" usually evokes humanoids from Unitree or Tesla, but the conference showed a much wider picture: AI embedded in everyday products and real-world applications
- The ecosystem spans chips, compute, cloud infrastructure and AI agents
- On-the-floor reports suggest very dense activity, with Shenzhen and Yiwu ecosystems moving fast
The takeaway: the most interesting part is where AI shows up next, not just what it can do today.
