“We are the only company other than Apple with significant market share in both PC and mobile, and in the open Android and Windows ecosystems,” Lenovo Chief Financial Officer Winston Chen told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Potential partners include Saudi Arabia’s Humane, Europe’s Mistral AI, and China’s Alibaba and DeepSeek, Chen said.
“We take an orchestrator approach,” he said. “We’re not doing our own LLM. We’re actually doing a partnership because there are regulations around the world,” said Chen, a former high-tech investment banker who joined Lenovo in 2024 and became CFO in April 2025.
He also sees an AI bubble in both private and public equity valuations, and said the market should focus on operating costs in addition to capital expenditures.
Chen told Reuters that the two companies would focus on “globally deploying” this capability, manufacturing locally and potentially considering launching it in Asia or the Middle East.
